Everytime I see your siggy I'm like.... uuuhhhh.
Way cool. Anyway... when it comes to tarot cards, you kind of have to let the deck choose you, so to speak. I've had several decks over the years and despite a lot of practice, I never personally found them that useful, lol, but many people do. Guess it depends on the person, like maybe I don't connect well with that type of symbolism. You mentioned a
celtic one, so for that I could kind of recommend
Sacred Circle Tarot ... very beautiful Celtic deck, although I have to agree with the reviews on Amazon that it's not for beginners. It's kind of odd. My favorite one
ever, though, is
Cosmic Tarot. The people look like movie stars at times (I know there's one that looks just like Clark Gable, lol) and the symbolism in the images works really well. I don't know what it is about this deck, but I could get rid of all my others, but never this one, even though I haven't used it for years. I got it as a gift and then left it sitting next to a pumpkin in my apt. New to a humid climate, I didn't realize that jack-o-lanterns can turn to goo with
amazing rapidity. The cards got soaked through with pumpkin slime! Ugh! I washed them, let them dry, pressed them and they survived. From then on they were infused with jack-o-lantern spirit, lol. Way cool in some weird way
Regarding the 'satanic' comment, I just want to point out that they're cards, not a oija board. I think there's a misconception about the 'creepiness' of tarot. I understand why, since I was raised in a religious environment, but it just doesn't ring true in reality. In the broader sense I don't see a real different between those and Color Cards, Angel Cards or even the Christian Prayer Deck I just ran across on Amazon. The cards are all a symbolic means that people use for inspiration or to gain insight into their lives. You know, like i-ching, mandalas, etc. Anyway, my opinion.
