Tarot Collecting

I didn’t intend to have a tarot (and oracle) deck collection. In fact, a couple of years back I parted with a few decks because they didn’t work for me, and I was trying to keep a limit on the number of decks I had hanging around. But as my search for my perfect tarot deck dragged on (it took 20 years….) I inevitably ended up with a collection of decks that are important to me for a wide variety of reasons.

I struggle with collecting – there’s a very strong part of me that just absolutely loves it. And not just collecting but organizing my collections, keeping lists and sub-lists of what’s in my collections… I’m a total geek – I blame my Virgo moon.

There’s another part of me that doesn’t want lots of ‘stuff’. Which thankfully helps keep my collecting bug in check. Really, the only two things I keep an active collection of are books and tarot/oracle decks. I do have a few accidental collections, but that’s another story which will get published over on the Inkwood Journal sometime soon.
