musings

People often ask me which deck is my favorite. I have so many to choose from and I do enjoy each for a different reason but if I had to choose I guess I could narrow the field a bit. I love the Lo Scarabeo Tarot. I trimmed it myself and it is perfect (not - but I don't mind). It melds the three major traditions - the Tarot de Marseilles, the Rider-Waite and the Thoth. In imagery, the cards are more a blend of the Rider-Waite and Thoth. I was never a fan of the Rider-Waite Smith deck, opting more for themed decks like the Mythic Tarot and the Druidcraft but the Thoth did bewitch me and once that happened it sealed the deal for the Lo Scarabeo! It is the deck that is always with me. Some of my other favorites are my skillfully trimmed Thoth, that is a dream to read- the images take me away. I also received a beautifully trimmed Druidcraft that is one of my favorites as well! I love my Magic Realist Press decks - Victorian Romantic Gold, Fairytale Tarot and the Bohemian Gothic. The paper and quality of the production is incomparable!

Recently I have been enjoying reading my oracles. My all time favorite hands down is the Froud's Faeries Oracle. It is captivating! I have been enjoying the Psycards and my lovely Mystical Lenormand both were gifts. I also get a kick out of my Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards.... must be my inner child - I love piecing the puzzle together and I have been picking an Angel blessing Card weekly for myself, daughter and husband. Feels like a little blessing.
