Hey guys, I've been using a lot of decks, but especially "The Baphomet Tarot" by Travis McHenry.
I really got bored of this one and I am looking to buy more new decks, so what decks are you all using?

I currently have three on rotation:
For my clients I use the Rider-Waite-Smith, simple, effective, traditional and have it connected strongly with prosperous, earthly and grounding energies so its effective for the money making aspect of dealing with clients
For myself I use the Ethereal Visions, consecrated to my deities for shadow work and inner workings
And for shits and giggles, showing off and playing, use the Thoth Tarot.

Have a few others, but are more like, really specific kinds of workings.

Thoth deck on a daily basis when reading for myself or experimenting with the spreads I create. RWS decks for public readings (Centenniel Edition, Albano-Waite and Golden Art Nouveau, mostly). Brian Wiiliams' Post-Modern Tarot for sociopolitical readings because it's delightfully sarcastic. Tarot de Marseille when I'm up for a challenge.

Mostly Thoth Deck and Waite-Smith for the last couple years. I started with a wide variety but always went back to the classics. I've been branching out into divination with a standard playing card deck and have enjoyed the simplicity gained by cutting the major arcana and pip illustrations.

I work with playing cards now and then. I lost contact with my online cartomancy support group when I ditched Facebook.

I have a regular Rider Waite Smith deck and one more, but one of my friends has a Tarot of the Saints deck and he’s tempting me to buy it from him.
They’re so different from the usual deck that I honestly don’t know what to do...

These came with ugly white borders so I trimmed them off using the big paper cutter with the heavy bladed handle they have over in the art department. I tried to get the slices pretty exact but they're not perfect. These are embossed with gold foil, they're not actually yellow, that's just the way the light is hitting them straight on. You can kinda see the shimmer on the bottom of the middle card at the lowest point of the picture where it has a bit of a gradient.

I believe this has been OOP for a long time. Robert Place has other decks that take similar liberties with the tradition and many of them are still in print. You might want to check those out to see how much you like his style before spending what I assume would be a lot of money for this one.

Oh my god these are so stunning and appeal so much to my catholic upbringing!

You're right. They were first published in 2001, but a few years later they were no longer in print.
It looks like a lot of details on them may be found

Since this is a close buddy of mine, I believe he won't rob me of my money. :)

I just use RWS personally. I have used other decks in the past but not really seen anything I'd particularly want to switch to.

Even as a non-catholic, have to say the artwork is incredible.

I have 4 Tarot packs but always defer to the Thoth pack. They seem to speak to me the most clearly and I find interpretation with them easier than other decks I own.
