Shopping for your deck!

 

 

The Fool

from Etruscan Tarot

by Riccardo Minetti with art by Silvana Alasia


It's certainly way too late to ship out a Christmas present, but you can still pick out one for yourself! But where can you find just the right Tarot deck, Tarot guide book, or Tarot bag to please you? 

Pinterest is great for viewing a wide range of Tarot designs and beginning to get a sense of what styles of imagery might work well for your practice.

Check out Etsy, too, for more ideas and vendors.

You'll find a great archive of deck reviews (with card images) on the great Aeclectic Tarot site-- including several by yours truly from as much as 15 years ago!

Here's one of mine on the very unusual 2013 Oracle deck--for one thing, I said it was "not for people who prefer their decks gentle and sweet"--and another on Dorothy Krause's Millennium Tarot (aka Dorothy Krause's Tarot).

Two good New York City bookstores devoted to spiritual/metaphysical books and supplies, like Tarot, are:

Quest Bookshop

240 East 53rd Street, New York, NY 10022 (212-758-5521)

Aum Shanti Bookshop

230 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003 (212-260-2866)

Oddly enough, I've never visited the little Brooklyn witch shop Catland, but I'm guessing it's cool!

Catland

987 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206 (718- 418-9393)
info@catlandbooks.com
