Can you guys help me out?

[number_the_dead]

Hi I wanted to ask if any one here has any suggestions for a good tarot deck to buy. Someone recently told me that in exchange for me helping them out they would buy me a new deck seeing as I have been getting increasingly dissatisfied with my other deck ever since the cops came after me about them. I am looking for a deck that has little to no nudity in it. Its not that I'm a major prude or anything, but it really tends to spoil things when the girl your reading for starts busting up because there are guys thingys hanging out all over the place on your deck, or when the guy your reading for stopes listening because he is stareing at all the topless women loungeing around in the pictures. Know what I mean?? If you could just give me suggestions of good decks so I can look them up somewhere to look at them I'd be extreamly grateful caus it might save me a little time (I've been looking for weeks and not come up with any.)

Thanx guys!!

This site: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/: has pictures of some of the cards in hundreds of different decks. I use the Hanson-Roberts deck which has no nudity, and I really like it.

The Whimsical deck has no nudity, as it's a deck for children and the young at heart. It takes it's images from fairy tails and nursery rhymes. I hear it's still good for readings, but it's not exactly a Rider Waite Smith clone, but it is similar.
I hope this helps!

Above are just a few of the many, many other threads on this subject. If you'd like to find some more conversations and suggestions, do a search on "Deck beginner" and see what pops up for you. Good luck finding your first deck!

Also, I think this thread probably has several suggestions on which decks do not contain nudity. http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?t=62833

Well........... I'm sure I've talked about it some where else but I cant remember where so I'll tell it again. This tale of depression, misery and wrongfull accusations begins in the spring of 2003 in a little town in southern utah called Panguitch Utah. About that time I was begining my quest for spiritual enlightenment, and the first step onthat journy was to renounce the religionof my mother and just about every other person in this small backwards community. My best friend, Jessica, was my only companion in this I'll fated journey, and together we aquired our first tarot decks and magickal books. Unfortunatly jelousy and suspition run rampant in such small isolated towns and we (being young and trusting) did nothing to hide the fact that we were no longer mormons. Like the young fools we were we dressed in goth clothing (still do accually but in this town it is a verry strange thing to do), hung out in the cemetary frequently, we drew tons of bats and vampires and witches in art class, we quoted tons of Edgar Allen Poe, we brought our grimiores to school and read them during free reading time, we even set up during lunch to give free tarot readinds. But like I said suspition runs rampant and soon all the "hollyer than thou mormons" were convinced that we were communing with the devil himself. One ill fated my friend left her locker open and the principal saw several of her locker postups (far side commics makeing fun of the devil) and called the cops. Together they rifeled through our lockers and conficated or books and pictures and tarot cards. Then they called us in seperatly and interrogated us for hours about devil worship and plannes to kill the whole school (wich we had none, I don't know where they cameup with that one.) Then they serched our cars and made someof us pee in cups (drug tests) then they suspended some of us. And after all that they came topmy house and asked my mother tosearch my room for proof of devil worship.

So that's the cop story (I hope it wasen't too boring)

the witches tarot has no nudity

Umm....if you are referring to Ellen Cannon Reeds Witches Tarot, it has a good deal of nudity, and yes! It is hard to use...

[halfwaynowhere]

most of my decks don't have nudity... Phantasmagoric Theater Tarot is a good deck, the pictures are really cute, but the cards are really large, so if you have small hands, they don't work so well.. anyways, they have this whole theme to them, the whole world is a stage, we are all actors getting ready for the final performance. its really cool, and although its weird, it doesn't look so much like traditional tarot cards, so you might be less likely to be caught... i think most of my other decks have some sort of nudity in them, i can't really think of them all right now....

Oh man, that sounds like an awesome deck. I already have one I love...but... :bigredgri I'm a theatre freak! Hehe.

Morgan Greer has no nudit, it's based on Rider-Waite.. Thoth doesn't either but it's harder to read.
My favorite deck is The Sacred Rose Tarot. (no nudity)

There is another deck called Tarot of the Witches, which is not the same as The Witches' Tarot. Ellen C Reed's deck is much better, but the TotW doesn't have nudity.....
