Lately I have gotten pickier about Tarot decks. If there are more than two or three cards that creep me out, then I retire the deck as an actual reading one, and pull out the cards I like so I can use them as Art: I may put them in a frame and hang them on the wall, or use the cards in a collage. World Spirit has more cards that creep me out than any deck I own, especially the guy wearing a vest and no pants, watching some children playing--eww! Shades of Michael Jackson! Also, there is just way too much pubic hair as a theme. I have no problem with nudity, but I hate having to hide a deck when my nieces and nephews come over. And this may be just me, but an awful lot of the minors have a kind of "in-group" feel to them: they are portraits of specific people the artists know in real life, but I don't know them and feel like I've been left out of the joke.
But there are several extraordinarily gorgeous cards too. That's why I hit on the cards-as-art idea. Right now the framed Strength card is sitting on my kitchen windowsill, aka altar, next to a rainbow candle and a statue of Quan Yin. Sure makes washing dishes a whole new experience.
