I am now enamored of my "Alchemical Tarot Renewed" deck it is a quality deck in my opinion though very RW.

Regarding Sam Morgan's comment on Christian Revelation within Tarot...
I think the best choice for seeking overt, or covert, Christian symbolism is the Rider Waite deck. Waite, while being a member of the Golden Dawn, retained his very personal Christian identity as can be seen most clearly in his Tarot design. Check out Trump XX specifically. Also, you may want to invest in an investiagtion of the RW deck with a magnifying glass. There are many tiny details hidden within the cards, Trump and Lesser cards alike. Don't know if that is in anyway helpful, but I figured I would offer what I can in the way of help.

I have tried a few readings now, all with empty meanings. I like the feel of the deck and the images. Many of the images do not have meaning for me like: Angles images, Hebrew letters, the favor of the male over the female, different use of the ankh, high magick symbols and ideas. So for now, I use my main deck for readings and play with this deck. I feel that this deck could have great uses for some reading but it is not talking to me.

Marivah, thanks for letting us know about your deck. I will have to go to town and look at it.

I went through several decks before I found one that spoke to me. I'm currently using one called "the Mystic Dreamer" tarot. I like it because it uses live models instead of just drawings. Somehow that helps me connect my readings to real life a bit more. The other decks I've tried just felt less grounded in the real world if that makes any sense. Anyway, take a look at them. I think it's amazing to see a real person on my tarot cards.

I found the Marseilles Tarot in clip art form black and white so I figure I'll color those and make a decoupage back for them.

Which cards are you having trouble with in specific or is it the overall "feel" of the deck.

Rebecca, I am having a hard time intergrating the Christian theme of the Revelation. I don't have any sky beliefs to have a reference. Do you have any ideas?

Rebecca, did you start you deck yet?
