Witchy Tarot
Author: Psychic
This is one of a series of Lo Scarabeo decks designed expressly for the American market, or so I would guess. In the instructions for the deck, instead of the usual note from Minetti or the artists, was one from Carl Weschcke, who happens to be the head of Llewellyn Worldwide.
Since buying Llewellyn in 1960, Weschcke has worked tirelessly to promote magic. He’s specifically marketed to teens & Latinos, hence the Spanish instructions with the deck. Since Minetti would have included notes in French, Italian & German as well, it would seem that Minetti has no interest in marketing this deck in Europe. This deck is presumably part of Weschcke’s Teen Witch project that dates from 1998. (Silver RavenWolf gets author credit for Teen Witch, but it’s clearly Weschcke’s project.) In the notes to this deck, Weschcke says, The Witchy Tarot is for the young at heart, new to the road of life.

The Runes
Author: Psychic
The 18 sacred Futhork Runes as a true esoteric symbolism.
The Song of 0din, the Magical Poem, the graphical structure of the Runes, and of course individual experience of Rune masters, prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the 18 Sacred Futhork Runes are a true esoteric symbolism.
They have a common base from which the symbols are derived: the hexagon with its three inscribed diameters. They are ordered by position as a linear symbolism or as an alphabet.
They are ordered in a plane as a two dimensional symbolism. In fact there are many possible arrangements of the symbols in a two dimensional mode, each one pointing to another facet of the symbolism.

Voodoo Tarot of New Orleans
Author: Psychic
A strong and powerful deck. There is enough magic in the deck & book to get you into serious trouble and nothing to get you out of trouble once you get in. Remember that in all forms of magic, it’s easier to get into trouble & harder to get out of it than novices imagine. On the other hand, there’s nothing here that will kill you. As for the “real stuff”, there’s not a trace. If you want that (and you probably do, that’s why you’re reading this), you’ll still have to find a magician to initiate you. Here’s a useful hint: As long as you’re looking for him, he’ll avoid you. It’s not personal, it’s just the western version of “one hand clapping”.

The Thoth Tarot by Crowley
Author: Psychic
The Thoth Tarot Deck was a tarot deck developed by the English occultist Aleister Crowley and illustrated on his instructions by Lady Frieda Harris. Aleister Crowley called the Thoth tarot deck, the book of Thoth and claimed that the deck reflected the wisdom of the ancient Egyptian book of Thoth. The tarot card descriptions found on the Thoth Tarot deck are different in symbolism and imagery compared to other standard tarot card decks.
Thoth is considered one of the most important deities of the ancient Egyptian pantheon. He is known as the God with the head of an ibis. He is the heart and tongue of the all-powerful Egyptian Sun God Ra. He translated the will of Ra into speech and is the divine communicator of Egyptian mythology. He was the scribe of the Gods and was called the God of Writing. The book of Thoth is used for divination through tarot cards. The tarot card descriptions on the Thoth deck are reflections of the great knowledge of the ancient Egyptians.

Eliphas Levi and the tarot
Author: Psychic
The evidence for the initiated tradition of the Tarot.
Although the origins of the Tarot are perfectly obscure, there is a very interesting piece of quite modern history, history well within the memory of living man, which is extremely significant, and will be found, as the thesis develops, to sustain it in a very remarkable way. In the middle of the nineteenth century, there arose a very great Qabalist and scholar, who still annoys dull people by his habit of diverting himself at their expense by making fools of them posthumously. His name was Alphonse Louis Constant, and he was an Abbé of the Roman Church. For his “nom-de-guerre” he translated his name into Hebrew-Eliphas Levi Zahed, and he is very generally known as Eliphas Levi. Eliphas Levi was a philosopher and an artist, besides being a supreme literary stylist and a practical joker of the variety called “Pince sans rire”; and, being an artist and a profound symbolist, he was immensely attracted by the Tarot.

The journey around the zodiac. The wheel of karma
Author: Psychic
The journey around the zodiac is the journey of incarnation into matter and onto the wheel of karma:
So, the Sun in Aries is working on assertion and on becoming centred around one’s Self – that eternal part of your being that incarnates again and again in its quest for spiritual growth. In the process, someone with the Sun in Aries often gets accused of being egocentric, selfish and self-absorbed. Rather than being self-centred, what Aries is trying to become ‘I’. This is the process of recognising and asserting the Self – a process that has to start with developing a strong ego and the sense of ‘Me’ that Aries expresses so well. When you have the Moon in Aries, you have already learnt how to be an individual who can assert him or herself and find ways of getting emotional needs met. Karmic issues associated with pioneering Aries are to do with aggression versus assertion, and with learning how to initiate and be spontaneous without trampling on too many people in the process. This sign carries the ‘knightly’ or chivalrous energy forward from the past. It is often associated with the warrior or the pioneer.

Rider-Waite tarot deck

Rider-Waite tarot deck
The Rider-Waite tarot deck is the most popular Tarot deck in use today in the English-speaking world between the real psychic readers. The Tarot de Marseille being the most popular deck in the Latin countries. Over the years it has also been known as the Rider-Waite-Smith, Waite-Smith, Waite-Colman Smith or simply the Rider deck.
The images were drawn by artist Pamela Colman Smith, to the instructions of academic and mystic Edward Waite, and published by the Rider Company. While the images are deceptively simple, almost child-like, the details and backgrounds hold a wealth of symbolism. The subjects remain close to the earliest decks, but usually have added details. Significantly, Waite had the Christian imagery of older tarot decks cards toned down—the Pope card became the Hierophant, the Popess became the High Priestess.
