Decks with good guidebooks?

Recently I've been working with the Tarot of Vampyres by Ian Daniels, and the guidebook is a doozy. It's just really really good. And I love that when I bought this deck it was accompanied by a guidebook that really adds to the deck, and to my tarot studies. I know that US Games sometimes sold guide...

Re: Best decks for Kabbalah ways of reading

I think The Gill Tarot would work well for your purpose because of the way the minors are semi-illustrated with an emphasis on the numerology.

Re: Is the tower card always as scary as people make out?

Recently I was feeling stuck, stagnant, trapped at where I am in my life, and I pulled the Tower card and I was full of anticipation for the fall, because I've been desperate for change.

Re: The One That Got Away!

I have her book, The Creative Tarot: A Modern Guide to an Inspired Life, and it's an excellent resource on how to use tarot for creative direction and inspiration. And even planning. The book has photographs of some cards from her Spolia deck. I've admired them. Fortunately for me I don't hanker aft...

Re: What digital decks do you own?

I have the Fool's Dog app of Boadicea's Tarot of Earthly Delights, because a physical deck is not available yet. I have the physical deck, Czech version of Shadowscapes because of its bigger cards, and the guidebook is in Czech too. I bought the Shadowscapes app on Fool's Dog to have access to the E...

10. Saint John’s Eve – June 23: Like the herbs traditionally gathered on St. John’s Eve, this card shows what protects or heals you. The Knight of Wands. Action and movement is what helps me feel secure during times when I think I'm stuck. I thought I was stuck all this time but then I got a part-t...

The Muse Tarot isn't going to be delivered to me, sadly, and Amazon is going to refund me.

I rarely buy several decks at once so this quick succession of decks arriving home is EX...

I've enjoyed seeing the cards you've drawn so far, they make me think of a polaroid picture quietly developing into clarity. That's spot on! Every card I pull, every message, has been related to the previous one. I just feel so supported during this time. I'm so grateful. I agree, it feels like a s...

I'm happy that Six of Wands had such a role in your creative process, Ciderwell!

Birth of the Muses – June 14: This card shows how your inspiration and creativity is manifesting.

I also kept seeing the ad for the Alleyman's Kickstarter campaign on my instagram, probably because I follow a bunch of tarot accounts and sometimes post tarot content.

Re: Expanding on king and queen distinctions

They're beautiful, I agree! And they're the kind of images that you don't have to struggle to make meaning out of. They get me thinking about the King of Cups in a different way than what I'm used to. I love when cards have art that gets your intuition going immediately–the art is evocative, is what...

Re: Expanding on king and queen distinctions

I'm glad you found it helpful. And that's a beautiful quote! The King of Cups isn't always emotionally constipated–he has shown up in some of my readings that way, but he can also symbolise healing from the same societal wounds of toxic masculinity you've talked about, I think. It also depends on th...

Re: Expanding on king and queen distinctions

For me the Kings aren't active at all; they're about control. The King of Cups is about controlling emotions, and this can be good or bad, light or shadow, depending. Sometimes the KIng of Cups looks benevolent to me, sometimes ambivalent, sometimes emotionally constipated. The King of Pents is cont...

I'll participate with the Shadowscapes deck! :D June is when it gets rainier here in India and Shadowscapes just fits, with its blues alongside all the summery forest greenery.
