Preparing to move to Canada in 2025
‘Gainful employment’ that works with my various medical conditions is pretty much limited to occasional freelance work from home. So I’ve begun collecting my retirement ‘entitlements’ (that is, genuinely earned- not some false sense) from the US and Canadian systems. Each is based on a shorter career span; the Canadian benefits were earned working retail 1978-1994.
Our plan to move to Canada is still on track. It’s not too early to take stock of things that could be converted to a more portable form.

Decks: Part One
Trionfi della Luna, Paradoxical Blue, Deluxe by Patrick Valenza.
This is the pip version of the TdL, with the Paradoxical colour shift treatment. This image links to a larger version. It’s a ‘Deluxe’ deck, as the box includes 115 cards (116 with title card):
# The core 78 tarot deck;
# 6 alternate cards;
# 21 card Beast Pack;
# 10 card mini-oracle deck (horizontal).
Although now out of print, the list price was US$75 (plus $6.95 shipping) and so I’m asking only US$80 plus shipping as noted above.

Part Two
the Spirit Keeper’s Tarot by Benebell Wen.
This is a copy of the Revelation Edition- 1st Printing. Both this and the 2nd Printing are out of print on Benebell’s website. I have the deck (with Certificate of Authenticity) as well as printed copies of the full (700+ pages) guidebook (the Book of Maps) and the spiral-bound Study Journal. All are in great condition; I’ve flipped through the deck twice, and glanced at a few sections of the guidebook. This image links to a larger version.
The deck has been sold. The books may be available- although shipping won’t be inexpensive.
Part Three
The Ark: Animal Tarot & Oracle Deck
This deck is still in print. I purchased it a few years ago and have never done a full reading with it. Cards are 3.5″x5.5″ – larger than the US Games tarot standard and in keeping with an Oracle deck. That size, and the stock used, make riffle shuffling this deck a challenge.
As shown here I have the 100 card original deck, along with 4 expansion packs of a dozen cards each- 148 cards and a 300+ page full colour book.
# The top left is The core 78 tarot deck;
# Bottom left is 22 additional oracle cards;
# Beside them are the 4 expansion packs.

Still in print, and shipping weight is 3-1/2 pounds. I m asking US$40 plus shipping as noted above. Please contact me via whichever social media site we share.
Part Four
Tarot of the Divine deck and Beneath the Moon book
This deck is still in print. The deck was a gift and I purchased the book of divine stories that inspired the cards. But I’ve never done a full reading with the deck or done more than flip through the book.
With both items having been purchased through local indie shops, I’m asking for US$25 (plus shipping) for the pair. List price is US$37. Please contact me via whichever social media site we share.
Part Five
These 5 decks are my stock on hand of new, still-in-their-package Print On Demand decks. Prices are as noted below, plus shipping as noted above. These prices are about 25% off- just above cost. Quantity as of posting this varies from 2 to 4.
#21 Tarot of Sister Who (jumbo) List US$65 now US$54;
#22 TSW Majors+ US$26 List now US$18;
#23 R&P Lyrical Oracle Deck List US$27.50 now US$18;
#24 Choose JOY Oracle List US$19 now US$13;
#25 Sister Flirt’s Meditations (Holographic) List US$30 now US$20.
Please contact me via whichever social media site we share.
I do still have a few copies of The Barkana Tarot (now OOP Out Of Print) that I purchased from the artist to keep available after they moved across the globe.
Part Five
Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards
The 192 page 6″X9″ book and 50 card deck (3.5″x5″) was published in 1994. Although I’ve connected with other decks based on First Nations (Indigenous peoples) cultures and spiritual traditions, this one remains unused. In addition, the deck has bowed over time- see the top of the image. This image links to a larger version.
The card corners aren’t ‘dog eared’ at all, and the colours are still bright. The book shows slight wear; the original packaging did not make the move down to Ohio 25 years ago.
It is still in print, with the card condition as noted above, so this deck & book set is available for US$1.00 plus shipping. Or will include free with the first order of 3 or more other decks.
