hmmm.... perhaps you're right. It was not only contentious to write that, but why complexicate (    ) what is in essence far simpler and straight-forwarder...I temporarily withdraw my 'proto-TdM-I' classification... |

I'm nit-picking... In what sense do you mean 'best' and 'top' Top, most important for study: Noblet Dodal (is available but you need to pay a lot) Conver ~ Top, preference for reading with: Noblet Grimaud ~ Top, for intrigue and quirkiness: Vieville This way I get to mention five decks.

Now now. The most wonderfully quirky TdM-related deck is unquestionably the magical, revealing, and amazingly delightful Jacques Vieville Tarot; but we're not allowed to mention this spectacular deck in this thread, are we?

My list: Bill's Tarot. I don't have it. I love much about it, and especially the colors. If I met any of those people I'd go running in the other direction. Now THAT'S tarot! Scans are at the tarotgarden.com site Major Tom's. I have the new Schiffer press printing and I love it. I HAVE met these people--some hang out in that odd little pub downtown, and the others were at the annual Company Picnic. We get along, although I don't always take their advice. http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards...ex.shtml#cards Jacques Vieville's. The old man did the best he could, with help from God-only-knows how many friends, to make a Marseille deck. It's not his fault if we don't wanna call it that. http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards...le-marseilles/ As long as I'm at it: I also love the Hadar, for its clean lines and classy colors, http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/hadar-marseilles/ and the Chat du Marseille, for capturing exactly what one needs to know about the intersection of Trumps and Cats, http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/chat-du-marseille/ and the Vandenborre Bacchus, which has such exuberance that it kicked out the dour cards in favor of a swashbuckler and a tipsy pal, http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/flamand/ and I've got 10 cards from an old Conver deck which I love and relate to, as they're in rough shape.

My feelings exactly. I'd add a third deck, the Piatnik to my reading decks. It is a fit hunk of tarot - very sensual to shuffle - the thickness... the size... the weight... Ahh... And the reproduction quality is amazing. I wish they'd do the Heron Conver this well.   Cheers,R a H |

I've been lazy and have not done my history homework so I just get to mention the decks I happen to like the most: Grimaud (actually I prefer my mini  )Véritable Tarot de Marseille by Hadar Fournier __________________ If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other.

I used the Hèron TdM pretty exclusively (for TdM readings) before I got the Flournoy Noblet 78 card deck which I just love. I love everything about it! The LS Universal TdM (so shoot me, I like it) |

Noblet (absolutely love it) Fournier (love the softer look and colour schemes) Hadar (traditional looking, but nicer colours) I find all of the above to be equal for reading decks.
