How many of you have decks that you love, but that no one else seems to use?
I am sure that there are many decks out there that are really wonderful, but don't have very many fans...whether it is because they are rare, or misunderstood, or simply off the radar... or something else entirely...
...But for you, they are gloriously underrated!
Here's a chance for folks to find out about those unusual, or not often talked about treasures in your collection...
(although I have no idea why I am doing this...it's just going to lead to more decks on my want list!)
In my collection...there is The Tarot of Baseball
I say this as a complete non sports-fan. I don't like watching baseball...or any sports, really. I am not really a fan of the game...
And yet...I really love this deck! It's drawn beautifully, and I do get the metaphors of " Baseball equals Life"
I admit, most folks who live outside of America won't really care much for this deck.
I started using it for drunk male clients in bars (long story...)
But the other day, I happened to do a reading for my brother with it, and really, for the first time, read through the companion book...and Wow! What a great, thouroughly researched, well written tarot book it is! I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I never bothered with this book before...but I actually gained new insight into a few tarot cards that I had not had before!
So...I have to recommend this very underrated deck!
On the Oracle side, I would recommend the Celestial Wisdom cards. Although they have only a single word on each card...and not really any pretty pictures, I find them one of the best personal reading oracles that I own. And another deck with a great book to accompany it!
So...how 'bout it? what decks do you use, that you think other people should look into?
