What's the Deck-Stork bringing?

[Nemia]

One of the last decks I ordered before Corona took my job away arrived after a long journey - Caroline Smith's Moon Oracle. Now I have her beautiful Radiant Sun Oracle (which is much smaller but exquisitely beautiful) and her Moon Oracle. I'd love to make an in-depth comparison of the Moonology deck (which is much simpler visually, symbolically - but conceptually? didn't dig deep enough yet to judge).

[Amoroso]

Aside from the Vampire Tarot by Place, I got the other Vampire deck by Hertz.

[TheLoracular]

Today I put in an order for a new B.O.T.A deck to color and cherish!

[Amoroso]

I already have the Ghosts and Spirits Tarot in my hand, quite literally. It looks like it'll inspire a lot of readings of both the divinatory and literary sort. Can't wait to read up on specter bridegrooms, snow ghosts, kueis, and whatnot.

Also: Halloween's coming!

[Amoroso]

Got the Vampyres and Les Vampires.

[fire cat pickles]

Got the Primordial, the Ship of Fools, with the Light and Shadow Tarot on the way.

[Papageno]

Wong and Stephen Strange have added a new and extraordinary new tarot deck to the library:

Conceptually and artistically BRILLIANT.

The box for the deck is SUBSTANTIAL.

The book is sold separately, if it's still available....hard cover and beautifully bound and printed.

The packaging was absolutely extraordinary....the BEST and most SECURE I have experienced to date....EVER....from ANYBODY!

[Pilar]

Recently ordered the Mirror Oracle, a gorgeous deck made of 54 beautiful original paintings by the artist and writer of the guidebook. It seems I am also growing my oracle collection now for those interested, it can be ordered on Etsy.
Also in the mail: Tarot of the sweet Twillight the colour palet and dreamy vibe really got me, looking forward to seeing it in tha flesh.
Please stop posting about all these gorgeous decks people

[KorraBlack]

Starchild and El Goliath (20% discount for Samhain, couldn't resist) on their way.
Heaven & Earth ordered on Amazon.
Moonchild to be ordered tomorrow.
Put my eyes on Lumina Tarot but... sold out.

Credit card crying.

[Amoroso]

Another vampire deck: the Gothic Tarot of Vampires plus the Zombie Tarot.

[Amoroso]

Got the Primordial, the Ship of Fools, with the Light and Shadow Tarot on the way.

Looks like someone just completed the Williams Tarot quintet. I only have the Renaissance and the Minchiate. All you need is the Angel Journey Cards to wrap up his oeuvre.

Regarding the Renaissance book: I'm glad I got a copy of this gem when I did. It's expensive now, guess its already OOP.

I still don't have the book that goes along with the Minchiate. Sadly I gave my copy away at some point (or loaned it out and never got it back).

[Nemia]

I ordered the New Liminal in MAY. It hasn't arrived yet. I think I'm giving up hope.

[Nemia]

Sometimes pessimism is rewarded! Today, the New Liminal arrived. It's an incredibly beautiful deck, I can't believe the richness and complexity of the watercolours, they seem to be lit up from within. Wow, what a deck. I hope I'll find the time to write a review!

I ordered it in May - it was sent in August - and arrived in November! From Taurus to Scorpio! And I knew all along that it would be worth the wait.

My Fantastic Menagerie 2nd Edition (SE) is in the mail

Oak, Ash & Thorn - Adam Oehlers / Stephanie Burrows
Three Trees Tarot - Volume 1

https://www.threetreestarot.co.uk/shop

Adam Oehlers website:

http://www.adamoehlersillustration.com/

I don't know what "Volume 1" is supposed to indicate, unless they anticipate the possibility of creating more tarot decks
or illustrated books.

Sadly, as you can see on their website, this deck is currently sold out.
You will have to email them for updates about future availability.

This is an amazing deck and Adam Oehlers is an amazing artist......he understands composition....he knows his ANATOMY!
YES....ANATOMY.....aside from the charm of his particular style of art....his technical prowess rests comfortably on a solid foundation.

It doesn't matter if an artist's style is realism or abstract.....the skill or lack thereof will be self-evident.

The various forest animals in this deck have believable and realistic stances and expressions, they are emotive but not silly or exaggerated to the point of being ridiculous or cloying, as I stated earlier in my first post in the
Current Crowdfunding Campaigns & Pre-Orders section.

This is a very high quality tarot deck....beautifully envisioned and realized.
Here are some images, which speak for themselves:

I believe that Stephanie gave a mention to this in her last email update. Adam is hoping to begin work illustrating their new deck next month, all being well. The ‘possibilities’ card hints at the theme. There may be dragons involved!

Thanks for the clarification...I didn't read the most recent update.

...however, I'll take this opportunity to also point out that the artwork is well proportioned to the size of the cards,
therefore, none of the details are missing or difficult to see.

I also like the fact that although this is essentially a RWS based deck, his interpretations of certain cards aren't forced
to adhere to a strict depiction of the standard RWS imagery....the meaning is intact, but the artwork is very subtle and nuanced...
which I find very refreshing.

The overall color palette concentrates on very warm and comforting earth tones....nothing glaring and overtly "radiant".

The card stock.....although it is substantial, the cards are supple and can be easily shuffled.
The finish on the cards....is this what they call a matte "petal" finish?.......no matter, it's quite luxurious.

Got my Rare Triumphs Tarot Cards today! Physically it's a joy: poker sized, nice slippery linen, pretty coated box.

I was fascinated by Ian's take on the trumps, influenced by the Mantegna and other historic decks, but with a new slant. It includes a slip of paper with three lines on each trump.

From that, it looks like the "official" zero card is someone playing the lute by a crumbling wall. But there are four other unnumbered cards, Wanderer, Trickster, Player, and a title card that's not really the title, but has a quote? that refers to the name of the suit cards deck, Pike and Clover. So it would be easy to sub in a wander or trickster for the fool, if you don't like the musician. The Player looks more like the Judgment angel, with a trumpet but without wings. (The number 20 card is Fame.)

The suit cards are French suited cards with Marseille-inspired illustrations, meaning there are 2 hearts and 4 spades, but they have Marseille flowers and leaves around them. The courts/face cards look very Marseille, too.

I really like the look of this creative, hybrid deck, and am looking forward to reading with it. For now, I'll just enjoy how flawlessly it shuffles!
