Plague Diary: In Which I Wish I Had a Tarot Deck
I own...not many. Five? Six? I find that I wish I had packed one, and now I'm thinking that maybe I should use this as an opportunity to buy a new one. I'm looking for suggestions.
My favorite deck has been the Morgan Greer deck, which is pretty much the Rider-Waite deck, but with the people somewhat more foregrounded. I dislike Crowley's deck, the name of which I cannot recall; it has too much non-consensual power in it. I don't want a deck that's many different art styles. I do care about the artwork, though. I want full color, not black and white. I do not resonate to plants. I am not interested in very modern or very twee. I don't want something heavily inflected by an ethnicity I do not have, so things like Celtic or Egyptian or African or whatever are just not going to speak to me. Oh, round cards are right out. I am reasonably traditional, but not very serious. Extra points if it comes with a booklet or cheat sheet. Oh, round cards are right out. And I am not willing to spend huge amounts of money.
Should I just get another Morgan Greer or Rider-Waite? Or is there something cool out there I should look at?
Thanks.
