I will catch up in a minute.. I was just outside taking video of lightening. I want to take some pix of the cards and post them so I will be back in a bit!

I have seen a round deck, once.

One of these is round... I cannot remember which and I don't feel like going through them all again.

The artwork on the cards can be creative and beautiful.

I was disappointed in some of the artwork ~ happy with others!

Thoughts-

Story telling is not harmless.
Something will be instilled.
Human beings are susceptible to self deception/ misdirection, to being pulled off of a path that is beneficial.



Blunt statement- A brief curiosity, satisfied ? Wisps of fantasy and fun.
Going deep into it ?
It is a tool, but some tools have sharp edges.

You are fucking with your unconscious, subconscious
dream states.

You peer into the abyss, the abyss peers into you.
The medium is the message.
Be careful, and be clear about what you want/ do not want.
Be careful about what you invite into your mind/ your life.
Watch your step, choose to embark, or choose not to.
This is a choice.

Is this the direction you wish to travel ?
Is there a knowledge source that would be a better choice for you?
(Personal preferences ? Traditions familiar to you.)

or

Do you have a purpose, in mind ?

A way to focus, examine, discover, sort, explore your thoughts, your life, your direction, choices available to you, alternatives that are available to you...

I am really not hoping to accomplish anything other than learn about the traditions and ways that other cultures used these to assist them in every day life...

PS- Open a running conversation with the former owner.

She is clueless

PSS-
Out of print, rare, limited editions...
Money, bay-bee!

*blushes* I own three voodoo dolls... what can I say? I keep the odd things I find in trash outs... also I figure, if I have them then someone else is not using them for evil purposes.

While I agree one should be careful when exploring the mystical. Seriously... their tarot cards. Not spells. It's more a reading of the universe than actually affecting it. Chill pill!
 
I said something, because I care.

Better to have the pit spotlighted, than to fall into the pit, with no warning.

Comparison-

One is a isolated,invented story, and one is a living, breathing, organic, (ongoing) event- macro/micro

I really appreciate that. I know people can get wrapped up in things and perhaps one thing leads to another...
 
 
 
Make sure if they are opened to count the cards, sell them on eBay, like Zumi said.

Some interesting sets. I don't see anything rare but I'm sure you could get easily over a hundred or hundred fifty for them, depending on the shape. You could go to a local new age shop and get a better estimate.

How I value a deck is if all cards have a picture on them. Most of the cheaper decks (Except Rider) don't have art on the arcana minor cards. They have only a numerical value and the suit. These would be decks I wouldn't collect.
 
Someone said they would do a reading on me. She just used a deck of regular playing cards. Every single card had a meaning depending on where it was in the deck, what card was before it and what card was after it. After about an hour and a half I finally just said, "What the fuck are you talking about?" and then I left.
 
Seems like there are more types of tarot cards these days than you can shake a stick at.

I used to have a couple of sets once upon a time, the Rider-Waite deck and Crowley's Thoth tarot. The Crowley one is too esoteric to be much use to the casual observer.

I don't believe in tarot as a means of divination, but I have often thought self-readings can be a useful form of evaluating your own psychological state (if you can be objective)
 
The Castle of Crossed Destinies, by Italo Calvino, is wholly based on a tarot deck, and is one of the most beautiful novels I know. Very well worth discovering, and quite unlike anything else you will ever read.
 
Here's a pic of a few random cards from a deck I bought at a flea market a couple of years ago because I liked the art

Its "The Gothic Tarot" with art by Joseph vargo

Pardon the pic, the room I'm in has three skylights and this time of the morning I couldn't avoid any glare, but some are pretty clear

Hey Jez on another note if you stumble across comic books shoot me a pm and we'll talk about what you have, that way you don't become one of those people who found a ten grand collection and give it up to some asshole dealer for $400

You know an asshole dealer like I've been for about 25 years now....;)

I met a lady this weekend that photographs ghosts, auras, and orbs. She was pretty neat, although I was a little skeptical.

I know a couple people that do this... mainly the orbs. They show me pics... of 'em. Say that orbs show up when the energy is good, but I'd bet there are bad ju ju orbs somewhere out there, too... if... maybe they've got a redish tinge to 'em or something. Oh... nevermind. :cool:
 
A very nice collection, Jez. Love the artwork.

The folks in here are right: you should check these out, either online or take them to a professional. They may be worth something, they may be worth nothing but it's worth investigating. You never know.

I like the 'Gothic' tarot, LoveC. Impressive art, very dark and deep.

My late wife has a set. Just the standard 'Rider' version. She never did get the hang of them, though. Either there's nothing to this tarot mystic reading stuff, or she just wasn't very good at it. Oh well, she tried, bless her heart. :D

I still take them out and read them every now and then.
