[fleetsparrow]

Gosh, if I had time and energy !!!

I could do all the things!

In fact, if I had endless time and energy together, I could even:

• Take all my online Masterclasses
• Write my novel
• Consistently do my daily tarot readings
• Actually do a Real NaNo
• Learn to cook!
• Read all the books
• Finally finish a Pokemon game!
• Learn to draw
• Clean/reorganize my room!
• Watch TV again!!!

Ah, yes, what a good time that would be.

The struggle is real! So many books and so little time! And most of those Masterclass advertisements look amazing, right? I want to take at least half of them.

Which tarot deck do you use? Is the symbolism workable for someone who is used to rider-waite? I am in the market for a new deck, but no longer satisfied with the RWS deck.

Oh no. My worm can. It's open....

OH BOY!

So, I have a LOT of tarot decks now, after a year of collecting new and exciting ones, and every one is good. A lot of them use the RWS tarot as a basis, but then add to it, which I think is neat!

My go to is a Santa Muerte deck that's all in Spanish (Tarot de la Santa Muerte); I also have another that's in English (and other languages) by Fabio Listrani.

I have one for The Hobbit, one for Lord of the Rings (both from the 80s/90s, I think, definitely before the movies came out). I have a fan-made Tarot of the Unknown for Over the Garden Wall (that I don't know if it's for sale anymore; it's also the only one without a guide, so ymmv if you're interested in that one).

Fyodor Pavlov's tarot deck is beautiful and queer and so lovely, it's almost my new go-to. I also have one with art by Felix d'Eon that I believe is on his Etsy shop (at least, it was in November when I found it).

I have the Star Spinner Tarot, which you can find on a lot of places. It didn't do much for me, but it's a pretty good updated/close to the RWS tarot (plus it's got a total of 4 Lovers cards depending on your preference of card/orientation).

Disney put out a Villains tarot that's pretty fun, as well as an Alice In Wonderland one that's coming out soon. I have a Sugar Skull Tarot Deck, which is really good. And the current one I'm using is the Mystical Medleys one, which is very similar to RWS but where all the art is in the Rubber Hose animation style.

Ahahahaha, this is probably way more info than you wanted or needed, but I just... I love these so much!

I'd say my personal recommendations would be Fyodor Pavlov's and the Mystical Medleys for "close to the symbolism of RWS" but since they all (with above exception) come with their own books, they're pretty easy to re/learn any new/added symbolism.

Oh, no! A fan got enthusiastic at me, which is an unexpected surprise! Whatever shall I do?! Lol! Honestly, this is exactly the kind of commentary that I'm looking for. I have been looking at decks, and Star Spinner is one of the ones I liked the look of. Now that you've pointed it out, Pavlov's Tarot is also gorgeous, though. And I think I might have to buy a few decks just to find one that I really love working with, which gives me the perfect excuse to buy Shadowscapes.

Thank you!

I'd also like to recommend the Modern Witch Tarot and the Light Seer's tarot decks as ones that have more updated and diverse representations of the RWS cards.

This is such a relatable feeling. Especially the 'energy' part, because that is such a factor. The online masterclasses always sounds so interesting but I definitely don't have the time or commitment.

That would be the BEST!!

I'm all about cooking and tarot! For learning to cook, I love Youtube as a good resource for cooking. It gives you a lot more information than a written recipe alone.
