I don't necessarily follow or "practice" Tarot in the traditional/spiritual sense. I am very much in love with the card designs, but I mainly use Tarot to help myself unclog my brain when I become stressed, or need answers to a personal problem. Tarot gives me a starting point to organize my thoughts and helps me find different perspectives that I normally wouldn't have if I tied to think the problem out by myself. Here is my current Tarot collection:
St. Soleil- Lucid Dreams' Beginners Tarot Deck
This collection is primarily meant to for beginners, containing a guidebook to help identify what each card means upright and reversed, as well as their astrological connections, and what kind of spreads you can initiate.
The details on these cards, including the card box it comes in have this shiny gold foil look that reflects so pretty in the light. I also love the neutral, faded tone to the art. The main objects of each card are in black white, while the background is brighter and slightly colorful.
This is my main deck I reach for when needed or I become curious with solving a problem.
This was my very first deck that I bought. Greg and I took a quick weekend trip to Austin to take Fiesta to an outdoor doggy restaurant (The Yard Bar) and on our way back home, we stopped at an oddities shop, Curia Arcanum's House of Curiosities.
The shop was so cool, decorative, and they carried super interesting oddities! Here is where this deck called out to me and I couldn't leave without buying it.
I liked that it reminded me of a Sailor Moon style. It definitely is a very Mystical and dreamy card deck. It has a very feminine aesthetic, also.
They were clever to not only create a physical deck, but to also create an app that has a descriptions of each card, spreads, and provides daily tarot readings if you don't happen to have your deck in hand.
You can also keep a journal through the app to record your readings and reflect on them, as well as share your reading on social media.
Attached to the app, they included the textbook written by Barbara Moore, to help you, just as the other decks, break down the Major Arcana, Minor Arcana, how to do a reading, examples of spreads, and definitions.
"One of the reasons Tarot continues to fascinate so many people is because it is easy to use and it provides so many opportunities to dig deeper." - Barbara Moore
A gift from Greg for Christmas. This one is more culturally appropriate to me, but also a very silly play on our Lotería game, in a good way. There is a Millenial Lotería that we had purchased a short while ago, but haven't had the chance to play it with anyone else, yet, so i'm glad they made a tarot deck version and that way I can interact with the fun designs myself.
My only little nitpick about this deck is the repetitive design on a lot of them, like the bitcoin images referenced as pentacles are just the coins, but in different amounts on each card and same for the arrows. Would have been nice to seem them each in a different background or additional items around them, but I can understand that's just how the whole design of the deck is, in order to tie to the original Lotería game.
This deck was a gift from my sister for Christmas. I love the designs on this one, plus the cards are much sturdier and thick. I haven't really used this one as much as the others, but I still enjoy flipping through the deck. This may be my go-to during October & December, for obvious reasons, jaja!
