Oh Calli, I hope you find someone good, and soon.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I find myself a wee bit disturbed by the immense glee I'm taking in unpacking my books and arranging them just so. There's even a bit of hand clapping and squeeing going on.
Do you pat some of them and say "my precious"? Do you hug some? I've been known to.

I have one tarot deck, the Aquarian tarot. I do like the art work on it.
The imagery, colors, cleanliness of the art...it just grabbed me by the guts...something no other deck ever did. Now, if I'm doing anything serious, I can't use any other cards.

Calli, do you have any way to contact her? Maybe she would do it freelance (so to speak).

“Not dead yet!”
Frankly, I'm sometimes amazed by how...just like trade magazines, there is a deck for EVERYthing.
I have the The Lover's Path Tarot.

There has been hugging and petting going on, I will admit.

Wow. That's beautiful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My deck is the Ukiyoe Tarot. I love it dearly.

Oh my. That's gorgeous too.
How is it that I've run across so many poorly realized decks?
Or, is it that Buffistas just have universally great taste?

My main deck is the Halloween tarot. Go on, look surprised.
I also have the Vertigo deck (the original printing), the Froud Faerie Oracle, and the Victoria Regina tarot.

I do too, thanks to you. &hearts. I love it. I don't read with it often, but I take it out and pet it, leave it out so I can see it and smile. It was done by the same artist as The Goddess tarot, and just as beautiful, if not more.
I have the Aquarian, too, but I prefer another one done by the same artist, the New Palladini. It's a bit more fluid than the Aquarian, but frankly the main thing that puts me off that one is the cobalt-orange-brown color scheme.
Jilli, have you seen the Victorian Romantic tarot? It's probably not as dark as you'd like, but I love the sense of humor. One I think you would like is by the same artists, the Bohemian Gothic. The old horror movie poses and sets are fun.
I have the second, smaller set of the Vertigo book and deck, found nearly new, MIB. And I lucked across a slightly battered set of the larger, original cards, no box, no book. But the cards alone were cheap and give me larger versions to study.
