This guy's deck (http://davepalumbo.deviantart.com/art/10-of-Swords-185472170) is the one I want. I plan to get it when it comes out, anyway. I don't see what's so "occultic" about tarot, it's not any more occult than seeing a counselor or a therapist or something. It's just using symbols that people recognize to counsel other people. Nobody I know who is into tarot thinks it predicts the future or anything like that.

OP here... That artwork is beautiful -- when does the artist plan to release his deck?

[silver-rose86.livejournal.com]

Tarot technically has *nothing* to do with the occult. It was a game from Italy called the Tarocchi. It developed into a divination tool, but it's roots are entirely neutral.
Also what's so wrong with 'occult' it's a nature based faith with spells(ritualistic prayer) and belief in multiple deities over a single deity. The negative 'occult' faiths(Satanism as an example... which was actually a satirical idea to begin with), are bullshit for the most part and have nothing to do with what the occult *actually* meant.

[clymnestra.livejournal.com]

Hear hear! This is totally what I tell people when they give me funny looks for knowing tarot. Its not that it predict the future, it puts things in perspective and gives you advice.

My gateway to Tarot was reading Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber, Anon. Don't feel bad.

[tenshihitomi.livejournal.com]

1) Carnivale secret, whoo hoo!
2) I would sell a kidney to own the Vision of Escaflowne tarot deck (and I don't even know how to read them).

[childings.livejournal.com]

Speaking of fandom-specific tarot decks, I wonder if they make a Persona tarot deck...

The one that Hitomi uses is kinda weird, there are no minor arcana and some of the major arcana are things I've never heard of. Definitely not like the Rider-Waite deck

[(Anonymous)]

I still have my Escaflowne tarot deck! It's not a full set of cards, though (it was the one you got when you got all the R1 DVDs and sent in the proofs of purchase. Man, I wish more R1 companies did shit like that still).

[dizilla.livejournal.com]

The original series version or the movie version?

I paid an arm an a leg to get the series one via the japanese psx game bundle many years ago. XD But they are lovely.

[(Anonymous)]

Not the OP, but I would also love to have that deck...anyone know which one it is? I don't recognize the art.

[glamourcorpse.livejournal.com]

I don't read anymore, but I LOVE tarot decks, and they have so many other uses besides just divination. Also, HAIL CARNIVALE.

[(Anonymous)]

That's freaking creepy. I don't know how you do it, OP. I was raised a Catholic myself and wouldn't go near one of those things with a ten foot pole. And I'm not even all that devout. I did a few palm readings (and a tea leaf reading) when I was a teenager and it just never felt right. It felt kind of wrong. Some things just stick with you, I giuess.

[cindyanne1.livejournal.com]

That is a beautiful deck! I have several decks myself and this makes me want to go find some more. :)

[drunken-clowns.livejournal.com]

stupid newbie request time~

I have always wanted to learn to do tarot readings. You people seem pretty in the know, do any of you know of a good place for a beginner to start? I used to have a deck as a kid, but I'm shit at memorizing things.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, most of the people I know who are into Tarot are actually fairly active in some form of the Christian church.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

My grandma was into spiritualism and Tarot. She had a lovely deck, though not quite as lovely as that. I still "lay my cards" sometimes, even if I do not believe in it.

[celestinenox]

Just bought the Fairy Tale Tarot, anon, and they are gorgeous. I have never apologized to my Baptist parents. :D

[generalstolas.livejournal.com]

I will always be bitter that this show got cancelled. Its opening credits are still ranked number 1 in my all time favorites.

I don't believe in card reading. My roommate does it professionally, and she's read my cards a couple time. Her interpretations tend to be very broad with things like "you're worried about the future" or "there are some days when your sad" No shit, that can be applied to anyone at anytime. Give me something concrete, not some diaphanous bull.

[well-widget.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's an interesting way to come to divination! (Though your parents probably don't appreciate it.) I grew up on divining, but the show made me switch concentrations from palm to cards.

[eowyn.livejournal.com]

Great secret. I loved that show.

[(Anonymous)]

The Golden Tarot (http://goldentarot.com/index.html) is pretty close, if you want something medieval-looking.

[jolty.livejournal.com]

Best fucking opening for any show, IMO.

[clymnestra.livejournal.com]

I got into this, X/1999 and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell in the same year so I fell in love with tarot hard and fast ~

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

I did it for fun as a teenager. I think I still have at least one deck; I don't think I ever got rid of my Tarot of the Sephiroth. I was raised Catholic too; honestly I never believed it was magic so I didn't think it was sacrilegious or anything. Fortune telling has always been fun for me.
I was successfully scared away from Ouija boards by superstitious people in my life telling scary stories, and my currently-atheist self will still not touch one lest I be reminded of Paranormal Activity, but I never had any reason to fear Tarot.

I'm kind of amused by the whole "divination is strictly forbidden by the Catholic Church" thing though, because my devoutly Catholic great-grandmother thought fortune-tellers were totally real and frequently went to them. She was told by one she would die at fifty-something and got all of her affairs in order, thinking it was absolutely going to happen. She proceeded to live to almost 100 (I believe she was 97 when she died).
