As far as I know, my current collection stands at something like this:-
Rider-Waite (in several sizes and colours), Blue Moon, Bologna, Cary-Yale Visconti, Marseilles, Aquarian, Arthurian, Bacchus, Bosch, Brueghel, Visconti (LS), Cosmic, Dali, da Vinci Enigma, Deviant Moon, Druids, Elemental, Faery Wicca, Gemstones & Crystals, the GD (the Regardie version), Golden Botticelli, Klimpt, Granny Jones, Haindl, Herbal, Hudes, Legend-Arthurian, Lo Scarabeo Visconti (mini), Lo Scarabeo gold-stamped Visconti, Lukumi, Manara Erotic (mini), Major Tom's Marseilles, Mediaeval Scapini, Morgan-Greer, Motherpeace, Mythic, Neuzeit, Nova, Oracle Tarot, Quantum, Sacred Circle, Sacred Rose, SOL, Shakespearian, Sheridan-Douglas, Spiral, Stained glass (Vetrate), Whimsical, Witches' Tarot, Tarot of the Witches, Diamond Tarot, Tapo Durer Tarot, Golden Rider, Tarot of the Dead, Rumi Tarot, Shining Tribe. I suspect there are more coming.
The astute among you will have noticed that in that collection are the makings of at least three sub-collections: a collection of decks by or styled on well-known artists, a collection of Visconti-variants and a number of decks with creative input from Luigi Scapini. Regarding the latter, in my defence all I can say is that nobody's perfect, not even me.
Oracles I own: the The Gypsy Fortunetelling Cards, a set of handmade glass runestones made especially for me, a remarkably opinionated dowsing pendulum of rutilated quartz, The Australian Animal cards, The Wisdom of the Australian Animals cards. There might be others - you'd have to ask them. Oracles tend to hide around here - they are badly outnumbered by Tarot decks and tend to get bullied.
In my defence again, it must be said that some of these oracles actually work and work well. I use them as supplements to proper Tarot.
Decks I would dearly love to get a hold of (or dearly love to afford to get a hold of) are :-
Servants of the Light (my old copy was taken from me), Australian Contemporary Dreamtime Tarot, Australian Animals Tarot, William Blake, Fantastic Menagerie, Paul Gauguin, Tarot of Prague, Tarot Erotica, Decameron, Ancien Tarot de Marseille (France Cartes Standard Edition), Ancient Tarot of Lombardy, Tarocchi di Giulietta e Romeo ("small" edition), Tarot de Marseille Convos, i Tarocchi dei Visconti (Dal Negro Edition),
i Tarocchi del Visconti (il Meneghello standard edition).
Tarot I've nearly finished designing: The Antipodean Tarot. I'm happy with the book which is fairly elaborate and could be suited to any deck, and I have an artist beavering away on some of the cards as we speak.
Tarot I've just started designing: The Foodies Tarot
Oracle I've started designing: The Book of Froth - a Coffee Oracle. Are we allowed to post links to rival websites? There's a hilarious thread about this one at Aeclectic.
