Strange Fascinations

[jackofallgeeks]

A part of me feels like it needs to build a Dummy Account so that it can keep track of odd little fascinations like this without elicting side-ways looks from friends and family...

On a related note, does anyone out there know where I might find an aesthetically-pleasing tarot deck?

Same vein, but more amusing than honestly interesting. Much like the first, it would be mostly useful as source-material for the modern-fantasy stories I'd like to write.

Do friends and family really check up on your reading habits that closely?

Aesthetically, I've always liked my Arthurian Tarot (done by Anna-Marie Ferguson, who did, *ahem* a bunch of art for Magic: the Gathering, back in the day). Given your like of Lovecraft, though, I should mention that H.R. Giger did a partial tarot deck...

Actually, no, not really. And, generally, I wouldn't really care all that much -- I figure people who know me would mostly understand my peculiar fascinations. But, as I somewhat plan to use my Amazon Wishlist as a birthday list, I'm a little concerned that my Grandfather might look askance at "Post-Modern Magick", and he's the sort, for example, to ask questions I'd rather not deal with.

A deck by Giger would be cool, but only partial... I guess so long as he had a Three of Swords I might be happy with it, but odds are that 'partial' just means Major Arcana, ne? Where do you (personally) find tarot decks; my usual means of scouring the Internet have been less-than-fruitful.
