Aeclectic Tarot
My personal favorite! Aeclectic lists over 1000 (yes, count them) decks, most
with sample cards to view, reviews, and links to buy! Message boards,
interviews, tarot card meanings, and info on tarot books all add up to make this
an indispensable tarot site! Browse decks by almost any conceivable theme,
publisher or characteristic.

Association
The ATA is a professional networking organization for anyone interested in

Facade
Facade allows you to do tarot readings, runes, I Ching and use other interesting
divinatory tools--no charges here, everything's free. And, for the People-fans
out there, read readings about your favorite celebrities!! For your own reading,
you can pick from one of about 20 decks, including the Minchiate deck which is
based on a 16th century deck with 97 cards, adding in cards for the Zodiac,
Virtues and elements above and beyond the standard Trumps. The readings are
computer generated, but I've found them to be just as unique as doing my own
readings (such as that mysterious process of getting the same card over and
over). It provides a basic interpretation for you, but of course, doing a bit of
your own work with the reading will reap great rewards.

Tarot
Hermeneutics
This
is my friend and colleague Paul Nagy's site. He focuses on a very academic style
of Tarot exegesis called Tarot hermeneutics, in which correlations are drawn
between two disparate texts, in this case, between the Tarot cards and spiritual
or literary texts. I personally have found the hermeneutical style to be highly
effective for triggering the receiving of inner knowledge, or gnosis. I can
highly recommend this practice for those wishing to expand knowledge well beyond
the limits of the norm.
Tarot-pedia
This is the Wiki of the Tarot! Articles on decks, card interpretations, history,

Shopping
For Heaven's Sake
4383 Tennyson Street, #1F, Denver, CO 80212.
Herbs & Arts
Great selection of books, lots of herbs and of course, lots of tarot decks. Great
and knowledgeable staff. I was told they would open decks for perusal, because,
as the owner told me, "it's not like an adept packaged it." Bonus
points for funny--and on the mark! 2015 E.
Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80206.
Isis Books
I had this site listed on my tarot syllabus as fantastic store that sells decks
online. Imagine my surprise when the Denver Tarot Meetup's first field trip meeting was
there, AND at the time it was only two miles away from my house. You sometimes forget that the
virtual world is grounded in the real world, and I had no idea these were one
and the same store. The online site shows an uncountable number of decks. You
can see 6 sample cards per deck, full size with plenty of details. And if you go
there in person, you can choose from a huge selection of decks in stock.
2775 South Broadway, Englewood, CO, 80113.
Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore
This
is my "home" metaphysical store--I probably visit here the most and
it's close to where I live. They have a great selection of new decks, including
some interesting historical ones, but my favorite thing about this store is the
wonderful selection of used books and decks in the back. 2178 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80222.
SpiritWays
Not a huge selection of decks, but a playful atmosphere, and their open sample (full)
decks and comfy chairs to relax in make this a first-choice for deck perusal and
purchase. Not to mention the great people! They'll special order
anything they don't have in stock. 3301 E. Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO 80206.
Tattered Cover
A very small selection of decks, but the "cool" factor for this
independent community bookstore is sky-high. Of course, they can order anything
that's not on the shelves. Colfax: 2526 East Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO 80206;
LoDo: 1628 16th Street, Denver, CO 80202; Highlands Ranch: 9315 Dorchester
Street, 80129.
