Blackford Cottage Tarot Bags

I come across some interesting sites in my interweb travels and recently I've come across a great site for tarot bags called Blackford Cottage tarot bags. I love my tarot decks and these bags are absolutely, hands down, the best bags I've come across! Leslie Kallunki lives in NW Oregon overlooking the very gorgeous Columbia River with her husband, two dogs and a cat. She's been making these fantastic bags for seven years now on Ebay and another two on Etsy. 
The bags themselves come in two sizes, regular that fits most tarot decks and a larger size to fit bigger sized decks as well as rosary bags that you can perfectly fit a pendulum in which is what I use mine for. I also ordered three of her tarot bags because unlike most bags you find on the internet, these are padded and provide a little bit of extra protection for extra special decks.
The patterns are simply lovely and you can even special order certain fabrics for your bags based on which deck it will be guarding. The pricing is absolutely fantastic with the most expensive bags no more than $10.75 which is great for any budget and you will even find discounted bags for as little as $5.00 each! I can't say enough how great these bags are and how fantastically they protect my favorite decks, I hope that you will all stop by Blackford Cottage and peruse her selection of wonderful Tarot bags and maybe even custom order one for your prized deck.
You can also find Blackford Cottage on FaceBook too, please go check them out, I guarantee you will like what you see...just tell her Lizzie sent you!

My Tarot And Oracle Collection


I have a growing collection of tarot and oracle decks and up until now, nowhere to put them other than stack them up on a table in my bedroom. I have been wanting to show them off because I am so proud of my collection. Some of the bags are made by myself and others, like Baroque Bohemian Cat's Tarot come all the way from Prague (Thank you Baba Prague!) I have a special bag for my Tarot of the Magical Forest that was made for me by Sulis in England.

The other day, I was speaking to my good friens about the stack of decks that were starting to take over my table and he spoke right up saying that he has this shelf that just doesn't fit in his house anywhere, it doesn't quite match anything and it would be his pleasure to donate it to me knowing it would be put to good use... my mind instantly screamed SCORE! Now I can put my lovelies out in my livingroom where they look marvelous.


It's so difficult to name a favorite since each one works well with different types of readings like romantic questions ( Robin Wood), questions related to work or career ( Universal Waite) and plain old odd questions (for those I like to use my whimsical Magical Forest Tarot). I'm curious to hear about your collections...What tarot or oracle decks do you have.... Which are your favorites...Do you have special made tarot bags or do you make your own....What decks do you prefer for specific types of readings?
