[Opinion] Your favorite tarot deck

[querent k]

Recently got The Secret Tarot by Marco Nizzoli which has an aesthetic close to Moebius which I really appreciate

If I was allowed to keep only one tarot deck it would be Pagan Otherworlds by Uusi. I love the artwork.

The Hermetic Tarot contains everything like the Thoth, but without the Thelemic influences and colour. It's a good deck to accompany it.

I was scrolling through and hoping to see this deck. One of my absolute favorites. Thoth wasn't doing it for me and then I found this one. Everything just clicked with me a bit better.

When I finally got my hands on this deck, Mercury was eclipsing the sun. I made sure to hold it up and expose it to the sunlight.

Outside of that, the one I've used the most is the Visconti-Sforza tarot. At least that's the one I've brought into public the most. Pretty basic nondescript. Outside of the major arcana, it's just the number and the suit. Just a step above using a regular deck of cards. Really helps me when I'm trying to freeflow knowledge to a random person I know nothing about. It's been a go to for a while.

I just bought a tarot based on the manga Berserk. I thought it was too dark/ negative to use for divination so I'm still using the Thoth Tarot for those purposes.

I think it's actually interesting topic, when I noticed it in suggestions so why not? What is your favorite tarot deck? (or the most used one)

I have quite a collection of decks, so I have multiple favorites, how I use them I keep to myself, but these are in my specials:


World of Warcraft Deck
This one has kinda shallow symbolism in cards, but is still nice done and is interesting to work with. After spending years playing WoW I can't deny finding this one pretty... familiar. Author is not deep into knowledge of cards, but was doing his job mindfully.

Tarot of Vampyres (Phantasmagoria)
Vamps, of course. Also has quite cool guidebook that has planetary and kabbalah decryptions for each card. Can be quite useful.

The Serpent Icons
It's Mayor arcana only deck, that comes with awesome book. Handy drawn (big respect!) and made for occult purposes by occultist, which really shows in this one. I admire provocative art as well as nice done book.

Arcana of Ice and Fire
This deck was made by occultist, although it has two deep downsides: one by being done with Ai and the other is quite high price. I find it interesting that Hanged man is renamed to Sacrifice. The deck is beautiful (ugly hardly exists in Ai graphic) and cannot deny that the artist creator was making it for occult practice.

Tarot of dragons (Shawn MacKenzie)
Not that special, but the art is stunning.

Old school Witch here!! I love the Robin Wood tarot deck and have had the same deck since 1994!! I love the simple yet powerful pictures. Very light medieval/renn style deck. I still continue to notice different things every time I look at a card....

I am the basic b*tch of mages. I used to use the Crowley's Thoth tarot and now I am using the Rider Waite tarot deck.

 

[Knight_Fury]

I love Fyodor Pavlov's tarot deck, especially The Lover's card!

I also love the Weaver Tarot by Threads of Fate as someone who is genderqueer and doesn't feel connected to any sort of gender things, and that deck removes a lot of the gendered language

Supringly as of late, neopets tarot has been my go to deck as well as red hand by pixeloccult (of the two, ive used red hand the most). I guess its a very telling tell that my life has grown more in a digitial whimsy if im using such a vibrant deck that feels like it was eddited in flash with how saturated the art is. But it is a really compelling and surprisingly emotionally charged deck. Favorite card is probably 7 of pentacles. I dont much of neopets mind you (only its scientology roots) but idk that lil guy is cute.

As for red hand, this one is a lot more gothic with its art style, with red and black styling to pull it all in. This one has been my daily driver for years (so much so the box art is extremely chipped) and its perfect for quick casting and getting a read in the room. Definitely not a gentle deck by any means and a start contrast to its colorful counterpart but, is perfect to check in with the shadows. Favorite card from this is the anima/animatrix cards as they not fully tied to their stereotypical femme counterparts nor their animus/animutrix companions. Perfectly free as the drift they be.
