All Sizes & Shapes

Tarot decks come in many shapes and sizes. There are square decks, mini-decks, round decks, decks made out of very thick cardstock- and these details really do make a difference.
For example, I use the larger sized Crowley deck for meditation. For readings, it is much too large for my hands and I prefer to use the smaller deck. However, with the larger deck, more detail can be absorbed, so I also like just looking and thinking about particular cards with the large deck.
The Motherpeace Tarot's round shape compelled me to put it on my Xmas list one year. I LOVE the shape. Not easy to shuffle. I do not have the mini-deck, perhaps that would be easier to shuffle. A round deck bespeaks of Earth and Womanhood and life cycles and journeys.
Another odd-shaped deck is the Shakespeare Oracle. The thick cardstock and colors make the cards appear as if they have been made out of wood (to a certain degree). Thickness and shape bespeak of durability and simplicity. More square than most decks. Better for personal readings or those who know Shakespeare well.
