Choose your card for the week from Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot. When making your selection, don’t worry about what the cards mean. Base your choice on the pictures—the stories they tell and how they make you feel. Let us know which card you chose. Post a comment!
If you want to buy the Thoth deck, I recommend finding an out-of-print “White Box” edition by Lewellyn, or an in-print Swiss “Blue Box” edition by AGMuller. Tarot Garden is a good source. My understanding is that the U.S. Games editions have a green cast to them that wasn’t originally intended. Note that the early “White Box” edition does not have a decorative border.
For a good book on the Thoth deck, check out Lon Milo DuQuette’s, Understanding Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot.
The Tarot-to-Go podcast, now hosted at the Tarot Pathways blog has a great interview with DuQuette about how the Thoth artist, Lady Frieda Harris ended up collaborating with Crowley.

I have a great interest in the 1920s and was quite excited when I first saw this deck online. I was fortunate to be able to get it on eBay. I wish I had more information about it. It doesn’t have a copyright date, and I haven’t found many references to it. If anyone knows anything about this deck, please let write in. In any case, it’s certainly reflects the conventional culture of its time.
Text around the edges of the cards:
Bachelor: Trust, but not blindly. A new acquaintance is trustworthy. An engagement will be broken because of you.
End: There is sunshine behind the clouds. Live your own life. Your troubles will soon disappear.
Worry: Worrying will not help. Do your best. A turn for the better. Inconsequential worries through relatives or friends.
Gossip: You have people near you who are not true to you. Do not talk too much—listen. Unpleasant event but temporary.
Argument: Beware the sorrow you will cause someone by what you are planning to do. Someone is tempting the one you have. A family counsel with you or about you.
Publicity: Resist coming temptations. Notoriety through jealousy. Slander or scandal—be careful.
Baseball season is here! The San Francisco Giants Opening Day is April 7, and in honor of their biggest fans—my mom and my brother—I thought I would invite you to choose your card of the week from the Tarot of Baseball by Robert Kasher and Beverly Ransom.

Featured below are cards from the major arcana. The fully illustrated suit cards correspond with more traditional decks as follows: Bats = Wands, Gloves = Cups, Balls = Swords, and Caps = Pentacles. The court cards also follow the baseball theme: The Umpire, The Pitcher, The Coach, and The Manager.
Sadly, this deck is no longer in print, though there is currently one up for bid on eBay. A few used decks are also available on Amazon.

This deck is very much influenced by Rider-Waite but also offers some unique, subtly different interpretations.

Prince of Cups, 9 of Cups, 8 of Swords
10 of Wands, 9 of Wands, Knight of Cups
Anastasia Haysler of Tarot-To-Go introduced me to this deck, and I just love it. When my husband looked through it, he said, “The artist who made this must be a very interesting person.” I have to agree. What an imagination!
This is an all-encompassing deck that includes diverse cultures and reflects the depth and breadth of the earth. It reminds those of us who are living an urban/suburban life that the world extends beyond our immediate community. There are also glimpses into the cosmos.
What I love most about the deck is the way it reflects the expanse of time. Many of the cards illustrate the layers of earth and sea and buried treasures. For example, the contents of the Prince of Cup’s vessel below look like they might slip into the sea and settle on the ocean floor, as shown in the Nine of Cups. How long will they rest there before snagged by a fishing line? The Nine of Wands could be an excavation site where the past is unearthed. These images become more powerful when juxtaposed with images from modern life: a baseball breaking a window, and a homeless man playing saxaphone.
This deck offers great insight and many surprises with each draw. It also comes with a 383 page book.

Choose your card for the week from Tarot of the Crone by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince. When making your selection, don’t worry about what the cards mean. Base your choice on the pictures—the stories they tell and how they make you feel. (Clicking on the cards will take you to larger images on the Tarot of the Crone site.)
I love this deck—it speaks to my soul, and the artwork is gorgeous. It was very hard to select only six cards to share with you, but hopefully you will get a taste of how original Ellen’s interpretations are. (I definitely prefer the Tradition card below to the Hierophant!)
This deck replaces the court cards with the Faces of the Crone: Beast (Page), Witch (Knight) Grandmother (Queen), and Shadow.
The second edition of Tarot of the Crone was recently released and can be purchased at The Tarot Connection Shop. It comes with a beautiful pouch in the color of your choice. The Tarot Connection also has a PDF you can download for free. It includes text that Ellen has written for the deck—even better, you might want to purchase the companion book.
