Why So Many Decks? — Each deck is like a different council member at the table: some are blunt, some poetic, some ancient, some playful. By keeping a variety, I can match the right voice to the right question — ensuring the reading resonates with both the seeker and the situation.

Rider–Waite–Smith — The Rider–Waite–Smith (RWS) is the universal language of tarot for many readers. Its imagery has shaped the majority of modern decks, which makes it perfect for teaching, quick reference, and cross-comparison.

Several of my RWS decks are theme based variants enabling our reading to better connect on a deeper level.

The mini versions are especially good for on-the-go readings, journaling, or when I just need to keep things simple and clear.

Golden Tarot — This deck weaves medieval and renaissance artwork into a lush, spiritual style. It’s deeply atmospheric — perfect when I want a reading that feels devotional, reflective, or rooted in art history. It speaks with a gentle authority, like consulting an illuminated manuscript.

Thoth Tarot — Pronounced like “oath” with a “th” at the start. The Thoth deck is esoteric, layered, and uncompromising. It integrates astrology, Qabalah, and alchemy, and it doesn’t shy away from difficult truths. I turn to Thoth when I need depth, precision, or a more mystical analysis that goes into the Aether and spiritual philosophy.

Tarot de Marseille — The Marseille is one of tarot’s oldest and most enduring forms. Its pip cards (numbered suits) require intuitive pattern-reading rather than illustrated scenes, making it excellent for numerology, elemental work, and traditional channeling. This is the deck I use when I want to get back to the roots of tradition.

Visconti–Sforza — These historic decks replicas are like holding a piece of living tarot history. The original Visconti cards — some of the oldest surviving tarot — connect me to the 15th-century courts of Milan. I use them for lineage work, ancestry, or when the question demands the gravitas of something timeless. Some of the tools in my arsenal are almost as old as I am.

Minchiate — An expanded Renaissance system with 97 cards, including zodiac signs, virtues, and elements. Minchiate goes far beyond the “standard” tarot structure, opening doors for astrological readings, philosophical exploration, and archetypal storytelling. It’s a rare tool that invites the querent into a much larger cosmic home.

Alchemical Tarot — The Alchemical Tarot blends Renaissance alchemy, Hermetic philosophy, and modern clarity. I use it when working with transformation, inner work, or symbolic readings that speak the language of alchemy, purification, and rebirth. It bridges the mystical with the practical.

Oracle Decks — Sometimes a question needs a voice outside the tarot structure. Oracle decks provide softer guidance, affirmation, or clarity where tarot’s structure might feel too rigid or heavy. I will use them if a querent prefers or if the reading calls for a different approach.
