Re: Consuming the Tarot

Thank you for the support! :) Also, the way you describe your spiritual connection to your decks and the way you meditate with them is really beautiful. I feel honored for my artwork to be included in your collection! So much of Tarot these days tends toward trendiness and aesthetic. You don't often...

Re: In Defense of the Art

Thanks for saying this -- sometimes I feel bad when someone makes very passionate suggestions and I have to quietly talk then down. I'm like, "Trust me -- no one wants these cards to look better than I do!" Haha :lol: But yes, linen and glossy finishes are a no-go for me. There is also a t...

Re: Majors Only Decks?

Thank you for this insight! (And also for appreciating the artwork! ;) ) I find that Majors decks are perfect for three or four-card readings, usually relating to broad questions. Highly recommend trying some; they usually yield very powerful, clear messages. I'm also a fan of shuffling different de...

Majors Only Decks?

Let's talk about something that has been on my mind for some time now: I am an artist about to release a Majors deck, and I often get comments from people who turn their nose up decks that do not contain all 78 cards. As someone who has always done and loved Majors readings, this shocked me, and I a...

Re: To Cut, or Not to Cut, That Is the Question

Hmmm, that is an interesting point about card sizes. I never thought about it. Usually I tell my querent to gently shuffle the deck in whatever way feels right while they concentrate on their question. This might involve an overhand shuffle, cutting the deck, fanning the cards out, stirring them aro...

Re: NEW MEMBERS - Tell us your Tarot Story

Hey all! My name is John, and I am an artist living in New York City. Discovered this forum by accident, but am so glad I did. I have always been interested in Tarot, but (probably like many others) I grew up going to a Baptist church, so anything even remotely lefthand-leaning was condemned. Only r...

Re: Bad Deck Reviews: Fair or Just Mean?

So much about Tarot is subjective, so "bad" reviews seem pretty unfair. There are many decks that don't resonate with me that others love, and vice versa. I know that the Haindl deck, which often confounds people in readings, has imagery that really draws me in. A "10 Worst" list...
