Tarot, More

Oh! How could I be such a thoughtless dunce!

Go make friends with [livejournal.com profile] baba_studio, who has designed stunning tarot decks, though at present, she's more wrapped up in making beautiful tarot bags out of antique and modern fabrics she finds in Prague, where she lives.

But her LJ is not exactly for business, so I wouldn't ask her about readings or anything. Ummm, let's see - go google. Baba is Karen Mahony and a partner. Here are some of her images.

And while poking around, U.S. Games has 117 decks. Permit me to warn you off the Aquarian, which depicts Strength as a man, contrary to tradition. Maybe it won't bother you, but it peeves me something fierce. U.S. Games has decks in French, if that is better for you.

Hmm, there's a Tarot for Dummies which includes the basic Rider-Waite deck, but I haven't read it.

by Her Holy Hooves and Horn, here's The Gummy Bear Tarot.

I'm doing a steampunk project and using the Victoria Regina deck as a prop, shame on me, but there it is.

My dear sweet [livejournal.com profile] cleverpunition sent me the Housewives Tarot for my birthday! Very campy and funny, but still works.

Sources: eBay, Amazon, U.S. Games, and a host of online occult shops. It is still hard for me to look at these sites and not place large orders... they're so beautiful, and always, there are new themes and artists, drooooool.
