RunningWild replied to DanielJUK's topic in Tarot DecksI have four of the Taschen books, including the one on Tarot (Library of Esoterica series). I think there are more than what I have but I wasn’t interested in them. I can’t remember where I came across them but I’ve had them for some time. I’ve been trying to clear out my wish list on Amazon. Some I just deleted because I’ve decided they aren’t all that appealing to me and I’d added a couple because of this forum. This week I received The Minchiate Tarot by Brian Williams. I really just wanted the book tbh. I wasn’t paying close enough attention to realize it was a kit. Oh well. And I should be receiving The Crow Tarot, the Mindscapes Tarot, and the Yuletide Tarot: Small Kit Edition sometime this week. -

Rachelcat replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the WeekHi! A day late and a dollar short again! Good to see you! This week will be Tarot Affirmations, Viki Lester, Theresa Reed. (I’m assuming Viki Lester is the artist, and Theresa Reed, The Tarot Lady, is the author.) This is a newish Lo Scarabeo deck I just got from a Llewellyn preorder. The short affirmations are on the cards, which I think is cool, and I like the simplified art and black backgrounds. It’s not Affirmations Tarot, which was a US Games deck of large landscape cards with RWS illustrations on the right and several affirmations as bullet points on the left. I forget who the author of the affirmations was. I had that one back in the day but it fell out of my collection in my RWS (and long affirmations) purge. Let’s see what I can do with this one! What is your most important characteristic? Page Wands, I achieve my dreams. (The border symbol for wands is a leaf. The others are their suit symbols, pentacle, short sword, cup.) It can help me learn all about affirmations and act on them. Perhaps to achieve my dreams? What is your strength? King Pentacles, I can create the life I want. The deck can encourage me to take charge of my life. Your weakness? IX Pentacles, I am surrounded by abundance. It’s not always action-oriented. What can you teach me? Ace Swords, There is clarity to be found. Doesn’t follow the “I” statement rule for an affirmation. Could be “I find clarity.” But maybe the passive is for aces? I can learn that the deck’s straightforward ideas are helpful? How can I learn it? II Wands, Now is the time to make a change. Also not an I statement. Maybe “I am making a change”? I can go from 2 to 1: Make a change to find clarity. What will be the outcome of our work together? Page Pentacles, I manifest success. Starting and ending with a page. Success isn’t the same as dreams. Or is it? Manifest is definitely more pentacles. I might not achieve all my dreams, but the deck will help me manifest whatever success I’m looking for. No majors. (The border symbol for majors is a 10-pointed asterisk.) So the deck won’t be earth-shattering for me. But I’ll like it anyway? We’ll see!

The sacred Indian Tarot
The sacred Indian tarot is pretty much a RWS clone, but it has it's own approach towards a few cards. Rohit Arya is the person who conceptualized the theme of this deck which deals with Indian mythology and culture. The four suits are Disks for Pentacles, Lotuses for Cups, Staves for Wands and Arrows for swords. Each suit deals with a epic and or life story of a hero of that story. For example, the disks suit deals with the life story of Gowthama Buddha... his journey from being Siddhartha to becoming Buddha... The suit of Wands deals with the epic Ramayana and it's major topics. The back of the card is Shri Yantra, one of the mystic symbols of Hindu religion.... it is highly revered and worshiped for its potency.The illustration of this deck was done by Jane Adams... It seems this deck took whole 10 years to come together and to be put on the market.
The art work on the deck is amazing. This deck comes in a sturdy box which is covered with all the art work on the cards. A 350 page book which explains the card and it's meaning in detail. The book also has a few elaborate spreads. I did not like the tone of the author in the starting few pages, in a few instances... after i got past it, I found some really good information on how to use this deck.
This deck comes with four extra cards, the images of which I have uploaded. The world and the death have 2 cards A and B, and there are two blessing cards, one is "Blessings of Ganesha" the other is "blessings of Babaji". I have added the picture of how these cards look as well.
If you are interested, you can order this deck from: https://www.amazon.in/Sacred-India-Tarot-Jane-Adams/dp/8188479780/ref=sr_1_2?crid=ZL3YDY78PB1J&keywords=the+sacred+indian+tarot&qid=1569877067&sprefix=the+sacred+%2Caps%2C285&sr=8-2
this deck is only available through Amazon India. I ordered it from there.
