Those are great! The Black Mountain deck in particular has a Van Gogh-ish look, and the gummi bears one made me laugh.

Any links to these? Is there a central site for them?

This one's called haindlrunes.

Thanks. I just posted some info about the much-misinterpreted "Death" card.

I just have a few more styles to upload...

this one's called Feral. I imagine you could get some pretty creepy readings from this one.

Front-Ranger · « **Reply #39 on:** January 20, 2008, 07:37:18 pm »

Black Mountain and Mythic have an early lead in the polls folks! It's an exciting race in the Tarot card primaries!!

Marina · « **Reply #40 on:** January 20, 2008, 10:19:53 pm »

Wow, these are all beautiful - I can see them all except for the Black Mountain one, for some reason. My favorite right now is "Medicine". The "Housewives" design made me smile. Tarot decks really are works of art.

Ellemeno · « **Reply #41 on:** January 21, 2008, 01:05:12 pm »

Lee, what are we voting for? Is it to say that we want our Brokeback Mountain deck to look like the one we vote for? Or to say which ones are the most visually appealing to us? Or that we like the wording of the books that come with it?

My favorite deck is "Motherpeace," I've used it for about 25 years. I wouldn't want our BBM deck to look like it though.

Medicine Cards are cool, but they are not a tarot deck.

Thanks for introducing so many decks here.

Front-Ranger · « **Reply #42 on:** January 21, 2008, 01:43:11 pm »

Thanks for your question! I am asking people to select up to five styles that they like in order to get an idea of what styles would work best for the Brokeback Mountain tarot cards. Should they be photographic, or painterly? Simple, or complex? Emphasize decoration or emphasize one central illustration? That kind of thing. The words don't matter in this case.

"Nature Speaks"

I choose this one based on both my personal taste and on what I think best fits BbM. It's striking, simple, and spartan, kinda rough. The Mythic style appeals to me but less so. The others seem too modern, decorative, and/or busy for me.

I never knew there was so much diversity for tarot cards. Thank you for pulling all these together.

I choose this one [Nature Speaks] based on both my personal taste and on what I think best fits BBM. It's striking, simple, and spartan, kinda rough.

I was thinking exactly along these lines - and this is one of the styles I voted for. I like the idea of each traditional card being illustrated with a related theme from BBM.

Can't be no worse than me. Honey, I have to use a compass, ruler, and protractor to draw stick figures, and Spirograph gives me the dizzies.

HEY!! SMJ!! haven't seen you in a while!

Good to see you still around. Saw your pick in the Social Forum, you handsome devil!

I am surprised that as a collector of Tarot Decks, the only one of these that I have is the Lord of the Rings Tarot.

I use the Golden Tarot for very special situations and readings for others, but have enjoyed the Quest Tarot with its multiple uses per card and two additional cards that reflect millennial perspectives. I also have The Aquarian Tarot, the Gilded Tarot (some beautiful images in that one), the Sacred Circle Tarot, the Robin Greenwood Tarot (my first deck), and the Roehrig Tarot (one of the first decks I ever used). I also have the Medicine Woman Tarot which I occasionally use for business questions.

I too, am wondering, what are we voting for?

If it's for the style for BBM's deck, then I vote for a very realistic, photomanip type deck. The main characters in BBM are lovely to behold, and the lands in which they live are so spectacular, it would be a shame to not use real shots.

Hey, Daniel, I have both the Robin Greenwood Tarot - which I eventually gave to my sister, I didn't use it - and the Golden Tarot as well. But while a beautiful deck, it was too Christian and therefore off-putting for me, so I just study it from time to time.

I have others I use, some are oracle decks and not really Tarot.
