Rose Lalonde replied to Nemia's topic in Tarot DecksBut, but... Elvira!? No seriously, I mentioned I'm not into these decks either. But if I knew someone who was a massive fan of Elvira, Goddess of the Night, I'd probably get it for them. Not for a professional reader, but just someone who might get a kick out of it. These decks are not for me when the theme is plugged into existing PCS art. Or maybe no one has hit on a theme so perfect for me that it would make me crumble. Even then it would be more for the novelty than a reading deck. (omg I just had a crazy thought; can you imagine if people did this with the Thoth! 🤯😵) Also agree with you about AI, but I forgot to say it because it's such a given for me. -
fire cat pickles replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the WeekThey agreed to the service with the extra fee for the guest organist. They also agreed to have readers for the Lessons and Carols service so I won't be doing the reading in between the carols. One of the board members even agreed to pay out-of-pocket if there is a shortfall in funds to pay the suggested amount for the organist. -
fire cat pickles replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the WeekHow will the meeting go today. I am stepping down as music director at my church after Christmas. It will not be well-received. Also, I am requesting that we have a guest organist so that I can be song leader (cantor/singer whatever you want to call it) for the pre-service and Christmas Eve services. Year after year it is becoming too stressful for me to sing and play two back-to-back services, particularly this year since Christmas Eve falls the days after I work a 24 hour shift. On top of all this, I am still getting paid the same rate I was about 7 years ago and they haven't offered any more money. I am not one to beg. I feel taken advantage of. Not too many organist (if any!) are expected to sing and play to lead their congregations... Anyway I prefer not to walk away mad, just to walk away. Again, how will the meeting go. Tarot de la rea 7 of Cups. I am not one to us RWS meanings with TdM. The 7 is the perfect, holy and mysterious number often associated with perfection, finality and endings. The six cups build a path to the seventh cup at the apex, with this top one representing what I think is the meeting coming out "desirable" with flames coming out perhaps after a bit of heated discussion. (Last year they offered a nice stipend for a guest musician.) The question or problem that I will have is paying Keith extra for the service following. I have to make the argument that he needs an additional payment for the church service following the Lessons and Carols--a tremendous amount of music that should not be included in a standard fee. If I look at the card this way, then the seventh card could be seen as a fiery disruption in the flow-path of the six. For my mental health I am prepared to pay him out-of-pocket! Anyway, the meeting is this afternoon at 4, so if you want to add anything or make a prediction you have a few hours...

The Deleted World Tarot
If you're nostalgic about the early internet, or were born too late but wish you'd surfed it before corporations got their claws in it, this deck might be for you. It's a bit odd, like those weird sites you'd come across that felt like hidden treasures, since often you would need to stumble upon them or hear about them from a stranger in chat. (To this day I miss a site where you'd type words to change a simple line layout of an apartment. Like an early word cloud. Just in my memory, unless you remember it too? Or the Death Clock, which was more well known, and gave me a date I'm happy to say I passed years ago. 😅)
Artist/Author - Josh Urban Davis
Self-Published (2024, crowdfunded)
Card Size - Standard
Cards - 80 (One extra card "The Thing Between Worlds" and one deck number card)
Card stock - 350gsm premium linen (Matte. A lot like the MPC linen with a great feel, good for riffle, and a that slight woven texture on the card)
Guidebook - Atlas of Deleted Worlds, 120 pages comes with deck
Box - Lidded hard cardboard
Edition - First, numbered
Purchase here - https://joshurbandavis.com/shop.htmlDetails: Art includes collage. No AI was used. Photo shows The Fool, 7 of Pixels (Wands), Ace of Glitches (Cups), card back, and on the second row the 5 of Glitches, Queen of Illusions (Swords) 6 of Components (Pents) and LWB. With the exception of courts, cards have a different title for upright or reversed (or if like me you don't read reversals, a second title to consider within the range of meanings for a card.) 10s are numbered Ø.
The art is surreal; the color pallet is meant to remind you of back in the day, and the theme is front and center throughout. It's not a RWS clone by any means, and not a deck I'd recommend for beginners.
From the creator: "The Deleted World Tarot is a tool for healing the rift between the choices of the past and the consequential loss of alternative futures. A tool and a story told out of order and out of time, it's a hope that illuminates the worlds we lose by the choices we make every day, and a call to consider what is worth saving. What is not saved will be lost."
