Lakewater's topic in Introductions
The Radiant Rider Waite deck comes with a reference book with color images of the deck as well as the deck itself. It's great for beginners! Also, the Liz Dean: The Ultimate Guide to Tarot has full color pages. The deck used in this book is also the Radiant Rider Waite but it is the book only if you don't want to buy another tarot deck. Welcome to the forum!

fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the Week
Tarot works in interesting ways. This morning I was doing research on a new project, broadly to do with literary depictions of inundation and rising sea levels. I was shuffling my deck and drew the World and then the Page of Pentacles. This page is a researcher. The texts for World in this deck comes with all sorts of water and ocean imagery: life as an ocean of contrasts, seeing the seven seas in a glass of water etc. and the focal point of the image is a body of water. So the deck was clearly picking up on my morning activity. But what I find particularly fascinating is that the text in the book also uses water and ocean metaphors. As a literary scholar, this really tickles me!
@Ferrea sorry you are affected as well, we are not quite sure why the forum decided to change people's level 🤦♂️. Also it's a random minority. Don't worry, she has subscription records @Little Fang will sort it later today
An intuitive, botanical Oracle deck rooted in mythology and infused with plant magick, the Pythia Botanica offers 48 cards that have been hand-illustrated and tea-stained by Nicole Rallis of Leila + Olive.
We invoke the myth of the Pythia, an ancient priestess whose visions channeled prophecies from Hellenic gods. Also known as the Oracle of Delphi, her divinations were steeped in mystery and enigmatic wonder―a trusted presage that loomed in the hearts of all who sought to persist against fate. Each card derives from personal meaning rooted in mythology surrounding the adorning herbs and flowers. Read these cards in traditional Tarot spreads and allow the spirit of these plants to guide you.
The Pythia Botanica Oracle Deck includes:
- 48 hand-illustrated and tea-stained cards.
- Beautiful, durable cards with Antique Gold gilded edges.
- A 54-page guidebook that fits inside the box, with instructions on how to read these cards, corresponding botanical illustrations and meanings.
- A sturdy, two piece box to carry your deck and guidebook wherever you may travel.
