Yes yes, it’s been a while

I have been pulling my daily cards pretty regularly (although since two or three days only, I’ve also been reading “aloud” for myself - as if speaking to someone else - something I read on the Aeclectic forum), and have been decidedly undecided about what deck to focus on.

The irritating thing is when you reach a stalemate and have about 5 decks on hand that you equally appreciate but for very different reasons:

  • I love the fact that the images on the Fantastic Menagerie Tarot differ from how I typically see many cards. I also enjoy the somewhat muted colors.
  • I really get a kick out of the twist of the Baroque Bohemian Cats Tarot… It sticks fairly closely to the Rider Waite Smith imagery, but sometimes twists it slightly. Plus, honestly, for certain readings with several cards, I enjoy that it has the number and suit in the corners. It’s a silly detail for some, but I really get a kick (and use) out of that.
  • I love the size of the Universal Waite Smith Tarot (pocket size) - and fantasize about all my decks being that size.

Those are the three I keep switching between. And as if my ordeal isn’t frustrating enough: I fantasize over the International Icon Tarot, the Fournier Tarot de Marseille, and I know that somewhere in Paris (!) there is a Tarot of Prague waiting to be somehow transmitted to me… (a friend ordered it for me).

Ah. It is an addiction for me.
