I just learned that this card is from The Secret Dakini Oracle by Penny Slinger, published in 1977 by US Games. It was later republished under the title The Tantric Dakini Oracle.

Anyone know what deck this card is from? Thanks in advance!

I just discovered this beautiful performance by So Hyang. I was not able to find this particular performance with subtitles, but So Hyang's performances are so heartfelt that the lyrics aren't usually necessary.

"Arirang" is a Korean folk song with deep meaning for the Korean people and has been a source of comfort in troubled times. This version, "Arirang Alone" by Korean singer So Hyang, has brought comfort and hope to many people of all nationalities in these troubled times: https://w...

Stan K. Beest Thank you for your post! :D I found one of these a couple months ago. The box was dinged and also torn in one spot where someone tried to remove a price sticker. I have been working on restoring the box, but I have had difficulty getting a color match to such an unusual color. I was w...

reall Thanks for sharing your art. I especially like the squirrel and acorn painting. I am hoping to post the before and after photos of another restoration project as soon as I am finished. I am currently having trouble getting a color match. I'll be stopping by the craft store this coming Friday ...

Thank you so much for your response and for your insight into the business side of the tarot . Joan Marie Just to clarify, I am not advocating that people buy pirated decks, just that I have a growing understanding and sympathy for why some may do so. I am sad to say that your remedy of " I'd r...

Call me “Old-fashioned,” but when I purchase a new item, I expect it to be in new condition. Unfortunately, about fifty percent of the new tarot decks and new tarot books that I have received over the past three years of collecting have arrived either dented, scratched, creased, crushed, or defectiv...

Greetings Alma Myres,

Hello Sesamy, Welcome to the forum! I am so glad that you have joined. :) Collecting tarot cards is an amazing journey that will lead to many wonderful discoveries.

This tarot deck has been in progress for a number of years, so I do not know the current status of the project, but I wanted to bring it to everyone's attention while the forum is still active. The deck is called Dreamwalker Tarot by Cecilie Noctique of Norway. I am providing a link to her website, ...

John Rutter's Requiem is (in my opinion) one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, and the following performance of it by MonteverdiChor Würzburg is by far the best of the many performances that I have heard, despite the poor audio quality and the fact that people sitting near the micr...

Hello Azgalia. Welcome to the forum!

Hi GrizzlyKt. Welcome to the forum!

Historically, competition has led to some of the greatest inventions to benefit humanity (Edison vs Tesla for example). When it comes to art, however, the effects of competition become more difficult to assess: On the one hand, there could be situations in which competition motivates artists to refi...

I occasionally receive tarot decks from online sellers who fail to accurately describe the poor condition of the decks. Because I hate to see works of art like tarots neglected or abused, I will often try to restore those decks to their original condition rather than return them for a refund. Below ...

These don't have the word "Magic" in the title, so I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the Second Edition of "Moon Baby Tarot" is currently available on Kickstarter at the following link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moonbabytarot/moon-baby-tarot-deck-2...

"You won't find true love until you find yourself and you won't find yourself until you finish your degree." I totally agree! If some of these people spent as much time engaged in meaningful self-reflection as they do consulting the tarot looking for Prince (or Princess) Charming, I think...

Hema If no one here is able to identify the deck, you can always check Adam McLean's Weblog archives and database. He has about 2,600 tarot decks listed, although I believe he stopped collecting a few years ago, so if it is a newer deck, it may not be in his database. The following link is for his ...

I purchased a tarot deck called Labyrinth of Souls (LoS), created by Matthew Lowes and illustrated by Josephe Vandel. I initially purchased it as just a tarot deck because the black and white Gothic imagery on many of the cards appealed to me, but I soon discovered that there is a very entertaining ...

Am I the only one who gets a slightly sick feeling when I see the ouroboros just stuck there forever with its tail in its mouth, hopelessly frozen for eternity because it can't break free of of this epic self-own? When I see the ouroboros, I am reminded of Freud's 1920 essay, Beyond the Pleasure Pr...

I did that years ago to my Haindl Tarot and it really turned out pretty good. Joan Marie I have noticed that I always feel a little disoriented when I look at certain of the Haindl cards, but I have never been quite sure why until now. I noticed that I had the same reaction when I looked at the Paz...

Hi Marcus, Welcome to the forum. :D Also, thank you for the warning about the shipping situation in Japan (posted under the "Shipping cost are Cray" thread). I recently discovered a couple of online auction sites in Japan that have some items I'm interested in, but for now, I think I will ...

I recently watched a series of interviews with Bruce Lee, the founder of the martial arts philosophy known as “Jeet Kune Do.” I could not help but notice certain parallels between the state of the martial arts community as it was first encountered by Bruce Lee and the state of the tarot reading comm...
