As it turns out, a thing that brings me joy recently is that I'm starting to see the grownups participate in the story times with the same amount of energy and exuberance (and causal disregard for dignity) that I'm modeling for them up front. That, and the stories I keep hearing that the children are doing the rhymes everywhere but story time, and that they're always ready for bubble time (which is wisely at the end).
I have a couple of Tarot decks, a Dragon Tarot that's pretty and I appreciate the artwork for, but don't actually use all that much. I sometimes feel like I'm not ready for it yet, slightly afraid of being able to do anything with it (it's RWS-based), or that it wants me to take it more seriously.
On the other hand, a deck I know and love well, and is my go-to deck, is the Baseball Tarot. It's a very skilled deck in the hands of someone who understands the game from all the perspectives that it offers and the intricacies that entails. I wrote an entire series about the things contained in the deck over several Decembers.
I also backed the Kickstarter of Tabula Idem, which came with a Major Arcana of cards based on the stories in the anthology. They're lovely, and a good minor arcana paired with them would make a happy deck for a lot of people.
My approach mostly seems to be trying for intuitive, which is way easier to do when I'm working with very familiar imagery to me, but I don't know all that many baseball fans who are also Tarot people who would appreciate a reading in that vein. So I'm perennially out of practice with them.
There are some other things around, but that's the big decks I have. (Shadowscapes looks very lovely, though. Might have to get one to stare at the pretty pictures.)
