#Introduction

I'm Chris. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, work with animals, play with tarot cards, and I absolutely love books! Posting about tarot and TTRPG games mostly, but expect dog pictures.

Artistic and creative aspirations include creating tarot cards, collecting magpie #tarotdecks, and writing small RPG games with friends.

#Tarot people: I was in The Hague today and picked up the Spacious Tarot at Ananda. What a well-stocked, welcoming, and friendly store! If you’re in the Netherlands, take the tram to the palace in The Hague, and walk just a few hundred feet down the road to Ananda!

What’s one of your favorite Tarot shops … or favorite decks found when traveling?

The energy I’m calling in this morning is 🔥🔥🔥 #tarot #fountainpens #stationery #hobonichiweeks #auroraduty #jinhao82 #tarotdecks are Shaheen Micro’s Uncommon Tarot and Chris-Anne’s Light Seer’s Tarot

Ultimately I try to make it so that anything fun I buy (i.e., games and fandom kitsch) comes from independent creators. I #Kickstart #ttrpgs and #TarotDecks, buy off of #Etsy (Etsy sucks in many ways, but it is a way to find artists and creators to support), and follow creative types and look for interesting things in my feed.

Fans of #tarot and #horror, check out this Kickstarter. It looks great.

>The Golden Age of Horror (GAH) Tarot Deck Second Edition is finished . The Second Edition GAH Tarot Deck Consists of 78 unique full color illustrations for both the Major and Minor Arcana. Dozens of fonts have been used along with vintage golden age comic book covers to create a unique and beautiful small "poker size" Tarot Deck.

I’m very tempted to buy the Brady Tarot, it looks wonderful. Anyone have experience in using it? #justasking #question Please boost for wider feedback 🙏🏻

9. #ForestOfEnchantmentTarot by Lunaea Weatherstone and Meraylah Allwood (Purchased on Amazon).
This deck is one I had my eye on for awhile before purchasing. I fell in love with the #artwork because it reminded me so much of the #fairytale #storybooks I used to read as a child. So much love and creativity went into this deck. The suits have a different name than traditional #tarotdecks, and the artwork is so detailed and has so much #symbolism. You really gotta study the images in this deck as there are so many hidden details and #symbols within the artwork. There are two decks in my collection that really speak to me and seem as though they really come to life, and it is this one and the Isis Oracle previously mentioned. These two decks are my main go-to decks, because they feel so #kindred to me. Highly recommend the Forest of Enchantment Tarot!

10. #LucidDreamsTarot by Britta/St.Soleil (Purchased on Etsy, though, their Etsy shop was shut down. This deck can still be purchased from their website)
In my opinion, this is the best tarot deck for beginners out there! It has the upright and reversal meanings right on the cards, as well as the #astrological symbols, #zodiac and #elemental keys. The guidebook is incredibly thorough as well and includes the meanings to everything on the cards, including a guide to #numerology in the #tarot! The artwork in this deck is heavily based on the #RiderWaite tarot, though, in my opinion the artwork in this deck is so much more appealing and just looks so elegant! I highly recommend this deck to any beginner.
As for their Etsy shop being shut down, this was due to them being overwhelmed with orders a couple years ago during the holiday season. The decks were a few weeks delayed in being shipped out, which resulted in a whole bunch of people leaving negative reviews and requesting refunds in fear they wouldn't arrive in time for Christmas. People still got their decks but all the refund requests and negative reviews due to delays I think got them shut down. I still recommend purchasing from them because they are honest, they just got overwhelmed with more orders than they could handle I think for the season. The deck can be purchased from their website. ☺️

11. #ArchangelOracleCards by #DoreenVirtue (Purchased at a thrift store). Under other circumstances I probably wouldn't have purchased this deck, but I found the box set for this deck that still had the DVD for it inside, and it was such a cheap price I couldn't pass it up! Though it's not my particular taste, the artwork is pretty and I have had some really amazing experiences with it. In 2020 I made a #VisionBoard and drew a card from this deck for the year, and the card I drew was the Writing card with #Archangel Gabriel. This felt like such a divine message for me as I did go on to do a lot of meaningful writing that year and helped a lot of people through it. Ever since it has been my go-to deck for #angelic messages and guidance and will remain a permanent part of my collection.
There is a bit of #controversy with Doreen Virtue. A few years ago she switched he path to #Christianity and discouraged the use of #divination. A lot of people betrayed by her for this and got rid of decks they owned by her. Personally, her change in spirituality doesn't bother me. I understand why people feel this way about her work now, but the way I see it, everyone is on their own journey and as we grow on our path, we change. 🤷‍♀️ Just because she switched paths and no longer supports divination and her old work doesn't mean that what she made in the past no longer has value. I've come to love this deck, and her lifestyle change has nothing to do with me or the value this deck has brought to me on my journey. To each their own!

Thank you so much everyone for reading and I hope you guys have maybe discovered some new decks here that you've never seen before! If you have any questions or need a direct link to where I've purchased some of them, leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer! 🌻

I think I broke Mastodon. 😂 My #TarotCollection review post won't show up in any feeds because it's way too long. I'm sad no one can see it. ☹️ If anyone is interested in checking it out and discovering some #tarot and #oracle decks, head to my profile and see the thread before this one. These are decks I've collected over the course of 8 years. ☺️

I love this deck a lot. It's the only deck I have that was gifted to me, and.... Good job friend who did so. I love that it has queer and trans themes sprinkled throughout. #tarotdecks #tarot

i think i might try for that no-buy year in 2022. which means this is the perfect time to look at my Most Desired #tarotdecks /s. mostly i never pull the trigger on them because international shipping plus taxes etc often double the cost, and indie decks are already expensive as it is. but maybe if i manage to save up some during the no-buy year i could get one of these for my birthday? xmas? and then it'll feel Really Special? alright - from Most to Least exciting although they're close:
