So this is practically for tarot readers, but even if you're not but have any kind of an opinion, please feel free to post. Basically I'm just curious about people's favourite decks and how they look. Do you have one favourite or several ones? Why it is/ they are you favourite(s)? Or does it depend on the mood? Do you usually use one deck or do you use all of them or more than one? How do you decide which one you're gonna use?
I have just two decks and I find the other one kind confusing and even disturbing (Tarot Favole, it's also quite badly made -> cards don't seem to fit the meaning), so basically I have just one deck I can consider to reading. Luckily I'm totally in love with it. It's so multidimensional, beautiful, mysterious and can be used in so many ways that I haven't bought other decks beside the Favole one which I bought because of the pictures.
So my favourite deck is Tarot of the Secret Forest, drawn by Lucia Mattioli and published by Lo Scarabeo. Every card is illstrated, not just major arcana, and every card has two sides: the coloured one and the black and white sketch. (And no texts in several languages like in some Lo Scarabeo decks I've seen).
You can find pictures for example here: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/secret-forest/
I'm considering getting another deck too though, because I want to see if I'd have other kind of relationship to other kind of deck and if that would allow me to read tarot in a different way in certain type of situations. (And I don't want people to shuffle this deck, so I can't practise reading to others because I think shuffling is the thing which the target of the reading should do.)
