The Fenestra Tarot is gorgeous. I highly recommend it.

Hi Thea, do you find the stock ok, are they lasting or wearing out?

I haven't had any problems with them. I use them quite a lot and they are still in pretty good condition.

Thats interesting to know, mine wore out the shiny coat seemed to rub off so I haven't replaced them yet. How do you shuffle yours though?

I shuffle them in an overhand method :)

love the avatar, and the shuffling may have a lot to do with it, the size is bigger than I usually like.

Recently bought Fairy Oracle Lenormand Deck by David Corsi and Marcus Katz, can't wait to try them out soon! LOL It came through the post today ;)

Love the Shadowscapes deck, I heartily recommend getting the large hard back book as that shows the cards in all their glory and the details are phenominal. I ran a workshop on this deck  and it was very enlightening, the personal development that the cards seem to enhance and stimulate was amazing.

My Late Wifes final Gift to me was the Victorian Romantic Tarot. It had been quite out of Print for the longest time , however late last year a Third edition was made available for pre order. I received it a Month after her Death and it was well worth the wait. The Cards can be regarded as a little costly but this really is a sumptuous Deck.

I went from Rider Wait, and seriously not liking it as I couldn't relate to the artwork (e.g. all queens look like they're angry even the Q of Cups, plus everything is yellow), to Robin Wood. Lovely artwork, nice colours, and sweet looking people and a loveable Queen of Cups :p
Then came the Green Witch as it deviates from the RWS method here and there and is more Pagany which appealed a lot.
After a few years of intensive use I went to the Wildwood Tarot which is even deeper, deviates even further from RWS which allows me to break free from the default interpretations I have in my head and tap into my own intuition much better.
About half a year ago I purchased the Moonchild Tarot. I love that as well and is what I have used since getting it.
Today I dug up my Wildwood Tarot though for a reading I have yet to record.
I also have Tarot of Sexual Magic and Wheel of Fortune Tarot but don't use these very often.

I also use lots of oracle card decks. Which ones depends on the reading and what I feel is needed. My newest one is the Archetype Cards deck.
But I should get 2 more in soon. Provided the shop can get hold of them that is.

I do think one of my most favourite -and most used oracle decks- is Work Your Light by Rebecca Campbell. I also got the other one, Starseeds, but that someone doesn't hit the spot the same way. 

I have been using Rider Wait for a couple of centuries (would mean for 25 years) and have been sticking to it. My preference is to lay the spread of the Celtic Cross and usually I tend not to pay too much heed to the known interpretations of the cards given, but rather on my gut feeling, concentration and focus.
There are times I am more into it when I also lay it for other people and times when I am rather out of it - but it soon comes back.

I am using a variant of Tarot de Marseille.
It is based on the  Marseille card-maker Nicholas Conver and altered
by Yoav Ben-Dov.
The name which Yoav gave to the deck is CBD Tarot de Marseille.
An example is my avatar of the 2 of coins.
I am still very much a noobie with this.
Are there others who use this deck?
