I totally agree, Tarot is one of the best tools I have for getting a clear picture of what's going on in life, and gleaning some insight into it. The Mystic Fairie Tarot was actually the first deck I studied seriously with--it was a great deck to learn on. The other decks are all quite pretty as well; I especially like the art in the Fey Tarot.
One of the reasons I like Mystic Dreamer so much is that it so closely follows the Rider-Waite style. For some reason, the really traditional imagery just works for me for actual "Tarot" decks, although I have nine or ten "oracle" decks that are completely original and have none of the Tarot symbolism. I can read Tarot cards for other people and myself. but oracle cards I generally use just for myself.
I'm not really a big manga fan myself, but that's awesome that an author incorporated Tarot into one! Tarot really has a great mythology to it, there's so much that can be done with it!
