Welcome to the forum,
I really like your avatar.

I voted B. I don't like cards that are too large because I have difficulties to mix them up. For example, I find the size of the Lo Scarabeo oracles too large (like Thelema Lenormand). And I prefer the borderless cards (see worse with double or triple border) which allows you to "dive" int...

Thank you for the presentation of this oracle. I didn't know it. I find the drawings magnificent. I would find this oracle perfect if the keyword was not the author's interpretation, but the description of the symbol. For example, for the butterfly, the author puts the keyword "travel". Fo...

What I like in an oracle deck : - a predictive oracle, - structured, - symbols, - character cards (in addition to the consultant's card), (maybe the 4 seasons) - a number of cards between 50 and 70. The Mildred Payne Secret Oracle, is a predictive oracle with symbols. I can find them in a dictionary...

Thank you, but it is somewhat limited, I have made translations for myself of Gebelin, Mellet, as many of Etteilla's works {whose decks, and variations thereof, I love & for his undeniable but nonetheless often denigrated influence by those who seek to diminish it], I have been able to get hold...

I don't like this kind of box either, it is not practical.
I wonder if the publisher does not have a standard box size.
A friend bought this deck a long time ago. The box was made of flexible cardboard with a small white paper booklet.

Amethyst since always, obsidian celestial eye and dumortierite.
Obsidian is my protective stone.
Dumortierite is not very well known but I find that it has incredible relaxing properties.

There are 1-2 very recent books on the RWS available now in French, and they haven’t made much of an impact, for a number of reasons, although the trend seems to be to want to move on from the Grimaud/TdM "hegemony", in a way, where younger readers are concerned, from my anecdotal observa...

That is the method described by Mellet in his essay published in Monde Primitif in 1781. Etteilla method also used pips of course and was very popular in the 19th century; even readers who used TdB or TdM would use his meanings for the pips or variations of them {there are quite a few TdB and TdM d...

Another thing they do a lot, not systematically but very often, is to add up the numbers and reduce them. And then they take into account that number. That's why in one of the readings I mentioned above the person said: Total Justice 8, its's a brutal good-bye. Justice wasn't one of the cards. I kn...

There are no discussion forums such as CoT or TT&Me in the Francophone world. The last one that was quite interesting sort of folded when Facebook came along. What was the name of this forum that has closed ? There are several forums, but not as large as CoT. And the forums close, I think for l...

Welcome! You seem like a lovely person and i hope you are here to stay. Thank you cloudberry, I'm not as pretty as on my avatar, :lol: When I register on a forum, it is always with the intention of staying. I am by no means trying to nestle myself in your privacy, but may I ask were in Europe you l...

Tank you Pen,

Thank you Nemia,
I like vintage decks. It dates from around 1845.

Thank you,
I have already noticed this deck and saved the images in my gallery,

Then I would present it on the forum,

I am passionate about paranormal and cartomancy. I'm using cards for many years, I started first with astrology. I use Lenormand cards and also the Belline Oracle. For the moment, I am not using the tarot because I find the explanations too psychological. I'm from Europe, excuse me for any mistakes....
