Gah, I have like 5 decks (4 and an Oracle deck) but I still want more. The ones I've really been eyeing lately are faery decks and steampunk decks.
Also, hello to my east coast insomniacs and anyone else in other timezones.
- I'm curious, how do you decide what tarot deck(s) to get ? I am interested in it, but I don't know where to begin. I think it's interesting if done right and with respect for the cards and what you're asking of what's out there. Someday I'd like to get a reading done.
) can't sleep as I have my first ever major tooth ache and am waiting for water to boil so I can make salt water rinse and strong peppermint tea.
collecting - my first deck was an Oracle deck that I thought was pretty lol. But the rest of them, I just go with my gut feeling. If I feel drawn to a certain deck, I'll usually buy it. Universe is weird like that, pulling you towards certain things.
And I do readings online all the time. I have a website where people can buy them, but I also do them on Gaia.
I had 2 decks before I moved and lost EVERYTHING I owned X_x My first one was the Tarot of the Cat People which I chose because I'm very attached to cats. My second deck was a present from my second in command.
- Oh I get the being drawn to things, I felt that as soon as I learned about the i ching. It was just like oh this is FANTASTIC teach me teach me pleeeease :D Tarot I don't know if I'm drawn, but definitely curious.
- a cat deck ? Dude thats awesome right there :D
collecting i have 2 oracle deck. lenormand and a gypsy answer something. damn are these accurate. they show/tell everything. i missed the opportunity of getting a tarot. ;-; i cant really shop online. if i did i'd be broke buying tarot/oracle decks >.> just look atthe picctures,if possible.their descriptions. some are better at answering specific type of questions, and other are not. good luck
I have had a fairy deck for a decade now and I adore them. They're very good for guidance and introspection.
I got my first deck a few weeks ago. I haven't done any readings yet because I've just been doing research and reading about the cards, though. :D It's the Druid Craft Tarot deck. I really wanted an Art Nouveau one, but could only find it in mini size, so I didn't really feel I could work with them.
I got my first tooth ache a few days ago, too! It was terrible at first, but I used mouth wash and took ibuprofen everyday, and now it's much better. Damn wisdom teeth, why do you have to exist... :P
- I have a badly broken tooth,and am calling the dental office my sister and brother go to to see when they can get me in. I had to go to the ER and now I have meds, yay, infection and pain pills until I get in, which ideally wil be sooner rather than later.
Salt water rinsing, strong peppermint tea, and in the evenings, sipping wine helps the pain dull, too, for a few minutes anyway. (Especially the wine hehe)
collecting Oh, that sounds painful! I hope you can get it fixed soon.
I also noticed the positive effects of wine when dealing with my tooth. XD It might not remove the pain, but it does take your mind off it! :P
- January 9. It was the soonest they could get me in that wasn't emergency (I don't drive, no way to get to the emergency time slot. Oh well.) but it will be taken care of, so yay.
collecting I have two tarot decks. My first one I got was from a friend, and it's one of the decks that is published by Llewellyn company. (Which is kind of cool because that's one of my family names, but in the case of the company, it seems to have been the founder's first name XD But eh still neat I guess)
The second one I have is a bit of a more... unique deck, I guess? It's called "Mystic Glyphs" and it's by Barb Rodgers. Basically, it's a tarot deck based on Anasazi petroglyphs. I bought it at Goodwill, and it just sort of caught my attention, and I thought it was neat. If I counted correctly, it actually has all the cards, too!
