Does this one work?  It looks like your original link had some kind of parameter that might be specific to your session.

Yes!! <3

[Dys Astyr]

Woo, that was an adventure in trying to get the copy/paste function on my phone to work. :P

How do you like the two added cards? Do they make a notable difference overall?

And with all the time that took me I could have just waited for Oniya to save the day. ;D

[Oniya]

That's a dangerous site, I'll have you know.  Almost as bad as TVTropes.  ;)

[Dys Astyr]

I have an account on Aeclectic I should probably dust off. Made the mistake of making it when I didn't have a personal computer and it's been lost to time/messy brain. >_>

Aeclectic is closing July 14, this month.  I've come back to Elliquiy to see if there is any interest in the tarot.  Seems there are a few threads around here!  That's good news!  This is a great community and even thought I haven't been here for awhile (I've been at Scribophile), I always enjoyed it here.  It is only the forum Aeclectic will be closing, the rest of the site will be open and the threads of the forum will be read only but they will remain.

I do believe I'll stick around here for awhile again!

[Dys Astyr]

I'm glad you found E's little tarot nook. ;D

Though I am sad that Aeclectic forums are going to be closing, I didn't even get to enjoy them! What the heck!

I hope to expand your tarot nook.  I'm here to offer my readings for free.  I do writer readings, pet readings and general readings as well as answer yes/no questions.  Currently I'm working on RPG readings but I need a little more time for development but I'll be able to offer that to the members here in the near future.  ;)  I'll set up some threads very soon, if that's ok?

[SaturnCeleste]

This thread is for discussing tarot, pretty much however you feel like. Talk about different decks, different cards, problems you've had as a reader, milestones you've reached as a reader (or collector). Really, I just wanted a place to talk tarot since I've seen a few other readers on the boards. ;D

Hello, Dys!  Shall we discuss? :D  I love tarot decks and can discuss them all day long!  A very fun discussion about the individual cards themselves are cards that 'follow' or shadow you.  If you do readings for yourself (I don't read myself) you might find certain cards that show up often.  These cards are giving you a message they feel you need to hear.  I do hope other readers find your thread, Dys.

I've got two things to get us started. First, I'm currently using the Vertigo Tarot and was wondering if anyone else had used it? How did you like it?

You know, I was not familiar with the Vertigo deck.  I had to look it up!  It's very interesting!  I don't have a lot of Gothic decks but yours looks very interesting!

Second, do you use tarot in your writing? I used to use tarot as a writing tool, but fell out of the habit. I recently used it to help with a story post I was stuck on and it made me remember how much fun it was.

As I said, I don't read for myself but I do Writer Readings.  I've been honing this reading for almost a year now and I have many writers that I help.  I will start a thread here soon, Saturn Reads Tarot and I'll discuss my readings further.  Anything I do for members here are free as long as I'm contacted on this thread or the other thread I set up.  I'm always learning and honing my skill and I need sitters!  I do have some spreads specifically for those who do want to use tarot to help them in their writing that I'll be sharing here.

I did not start as a collector, it just ended up that way.  I have a nice collection of decks that I will be using on my clients.  Currently my website is still under construction but I will have a portfolio that clients will be able to peruse and choose the deck they would like me to use for their reading.  I also use Oracle cards in my readings and usually pair up an oracle card or two with a tarot reading.  I used to have presorted pairs but after I acquired the number of decks that I have, it became too unyielding.

I am by now means running some sort of tarot mafia where people need permission to make new tarot threads. XD You do whatever you like! :-) I shall just be happy to see more tarot on E. (When I first joined there was someone giving IC tarot readings, though I have no idea where that thread disappeared to.) In fact TexasWarren had already been running a tarot reading thread before I started this one. (Here, if you are interested in seeing it.)

Oh how wonderful!!  Thank you so much, Dys (your name is awesome!).  I'll post on that when I get done with my deck list.  I'll have to do it as an attachment because all the decks are linked so you can see them. ;)  I want to give love to your thread as well.  :D

I enjoy Tarot from a psychological perspective. Like according to Jung, the elements of the Tarot are so archetypal and universal to human desire for symbolism, and they're so fundamental to the collective unconscious of the human mind that you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't find some kind of meaning in the cards, no matter how you flip or shuffle them.

As a writing tool it would make a lot of sense, since there's a lot of overlap between the two activities.

Hi Inkidu!  I too believe in the psychological perspective of tarot as well as the intuitive.  I have a Jung book of symbols as well as the companion book to this oracle deck, Psycards.
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/psycards/

The cards are based on Jung's archetypes and the book gives a lot of information.  In the long run, my readings do boil down to my connection with the sitter and the decks I use but Jung has a prominent place at my reading table.  :-)

It's good to see people approaching the tarot from different directions. I know the cards have a strong association with the occult and that some people can't get past that but they are an amazing tool that doesn't require any sort of beliefs or whatever to use and enjoy.

Well, Aeclectic forum is now officially closed.  I just posted my goodbye limerick and within seconds, the boards went dark.  I cried.  It's the end of a 17 year era.  :'(

On my tiny phone. Please excuse typos!

While living in NYC I saw an old, East European woman that taught me the Waite-Rider Deck. I would practice every night at home. For two months straight I pulled the Falling Tower card every spread. It freaked me out.I didn't know what was happening.

It stopped showing up after Sept 11, 2001.

I have taken steps away from the cards, but this thread has reminded me how much I love them and I think it's time to get reacquainted.

[Dys Astyr]

Wow Saturn you have ALL the decks. O_O

It's always creepy when cards are followed up in extremely literal ways. I've had that with the Death card a few times.

[The Dark Raven]

I need to get back to my decks....

I need the Osho Zen (first deck I ever read and it liked me.  Alas the deck was not mine.)

I have the Robin Wood (somewhere in my house....), the Renaissance Tarot (which i can't use because my hands are too small for the long cut), and the WildWood Tarot.  I would love the Greenwood, but it is out of print and priced beyond my reach.  It calls to me, though. :(

[Kuroneko]

I have multiple decks, including the one in the image on your first post. It's the one I learned on and tend to go back to when I read for other people. Tarot is one of many oracular devices I use, including runes, other card sets and Ogham.

It's somewhat reassuring to see I wasn't the only one who initially got into tarot through someone else's cards. XD I hope you get a hold of the deck soon!

Ogham has always interested me but I've never had the patience/time to sit down and learn it. I learned runes before tarot, they were much easier for me to wrap my head around.

Hello everyone!  I started my reading thread, Saturn Reads Tarot here:
https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=271418.0

Please stop by for a free reading!  I do different kinds of readings than Texas Warren so if you'd like to try an RP reading, Writer reading, Pet reading or Intuitive Celtic Cross, please stop by my new thread!  ;D

[Dys Astyr]

Yay! Im glad you got your thread up. ;D I'll have to check that out a little later when I'm not phone lurking.

In unrelated news I got the Empress and Emperor as my daily cards today. Seems a little intense. XD

That is interesting!  I've been followed by the Emperor lately myself.  How did you read both cards, together as a single message or each card with the messages they have to offer?

[Dys Astyr]

I was seeing the Emperor a lot around the full moon. Maybe July is a good month for him? XD

Considering the cards have a similar vein I kind of went with that, grow/build without becoming a micromanaging, smothering freak about it. I've started probably too many projects this month so probably good advice. Remembering to let things flow naturally and not spazz out over every minute detail and second of time.

Also talk about a pair to represent balance. Oomph. ;D Especially since I used two decks, the Empress is very colorful and surreal while the Emperor has very stark, simple lines.

[SaturnCeleste]

Now that is amazing! To get the pair from 2 separate decks!  If I'm doing a Facebook event I never use the same deck twice, I always use a new deck for each reading and when cards follow me from deck to deck, it is time to sit and take notice of the message they bring me.  Are you close with your parents?  Both of the cards together might be a message from your parents.

Hey, I have a great links for you to look at!
