Finally, we come to the end of our list of divination decks. If I’ve missed any decks you’d like to see covered, please feel free to leave me a comment. If I get enough, I’ll do a “reader’s choice” list.

After a long wait, here’s the P – T of our list of divination decks:
Pomo Tarot: A post-modern tarot deck by Brian Williams, the creator of the Renaissance Tarot. A fully pictorial deck, the images are simple watercolors based on famous works of art. The four suits have been “updated”: bottles (cups), money (coins/pentacles), guns [...]

Today, we cover decks K-O. I apologize for this getting posted much later than I’d originally intended; I’ve been fighting the creep crud. But we’re (cross fingers) back on schedule. As always, please share your favorite decks in the comment section below and remember to enter our contest for a hand-knitted tarot bag. More on [...]

Today’s Dakini Oracle card is #32 Shiva/The Pillar of Fire (no picture, sorry).
#32 Shiva/The Pillar of Fire alerts us to the presence of spiritual fulfillment. Illumination. Spiritual revelation. It is the first fire card in the deck, so with the fire = wands correspondence, it is also the Ace of Wands.
In Hindu thought, Shiva is [...]

Here’s part two the A-to-Z list of divination decks, letters F-J. Please feel free to add your own ideas to this list, via comments.
Faeries Oracle: If you’ve ever seen Brian Froud’s artwork, you know how stunning it is. The pictures at Aeclectic Tarot don’t quite capture the beauty of this deck. This is a 66 [...]

Today’s card is #3 Scarlet Woman (scroll down about halfway through the page to find card images)
The Scarlet Woman corresponds to The Empress in the tarot. Like the Empress, she represents female power and energy. She is passion incarnate and often signifies a romance or the decision to follow the Tantric path.

This is the first installment of an A-to-Z list of tarot decks. I’m going to list at least one card for each letter of the alphabet and where possible, I’m choosing decks that are in my own collection. This is by no means an exhaustive list. For a longer and more detailed list, visit Aeclectic [...]

Today’s card is #22 Mother’s Milk (no picture)
This is the first Air card in the deck. Continuing with the Air = Swords correspondence, we have the Ace of Swords.
Mother’s Milk symbolizes a desire to return to the source, to the beginning of all things where there is unity. It’s a desire for nonduality. Likewise, the [...]

Today’s card is #47 Horse Play
Horse Play (sorry, no picture ) it the sixth water card in the Dakini Oracle deck, making it the 6 of Cups. This card reminds us that “horsing around” is sometimes exactly what we need to do. We need play — it helps to keep us healthy and [...]

Today’s card is #38 A-Musement, the 7th fire card in the deck. Since I use the fire = wands correspondence, that makes the 7 of Wands it’s corresponding tarot card. The card itself shows fireworks or a volcano eruption (fire) and the images of 7 dakinis (minor goddesses or attendants of the Great Goddess).
A-Musement is [...]
