Deck of the week group - week 41 - 11-18 May 2012

[Chiska]

Themed decks can sometimes be just a bit too far removed from tarot, and I think this might be the issue with the Silicon Valley. It is a fun, quirky deck, but it is difficult to associate with tarot.

I will be sending some warm thoughts your way! (((NikkiB and family and pets)))

Hmm- I just received one. I was curious if you tried it with and without the extras- and how that changed the "feel" of the deck, if at all? Of course, I still have more dark decks to get through before I hit that category. Shocker right???!!!

(((Nikki)))) and hope things calm down for you.

I am enjoying my week off. Today I did some readings with the Etteilla and Vanessa decks...what a pairing, huh? But I also feel a little strange, anchorless. I have really gotten used to this group.

This is the Silicon Valley Tarot. However, in regards to the Tarot of the Silicon Dawn, I did try it both ways. I used 99 cards and really felt that the extra cards gave some depth to the readings I did. Also used only 78 cards and really loved it. It is a great deck. The sheer size of 99 decks, though.

Honestly, I don't think I'll use it with only 78 cards for future readings. I even used the extra fools - partly because they are so different from one another.

I am loving your stroll through your dark decks!

(((Nikkib))) Sounds like a terrible week, hope things calm down soon for you.


Still liking the Surrealistic tarot. I actually have a few clients in mind that might appreciate it.


Those Soul cards...hmph. I love nature and the natural world, but the more I use it, the less I like it.

(((NikkiB))), Love, strength and comfort to you and your family.

I'm enjoying the Rohrig Tarot, which always surprises me when I use it because it's such a masculine deck - one at first glance that should be used at a fraternity party or something of that sort. But it and the Masters (tarot which I'm using as an oracle) have given me some meat to chew on this week.

So sorry Nikki, i really didn't mean to add any stress to your already hectic and sad week. Hope you forgive me.

Not your fault you couldn't know, I was just explaining my absence x

Thank you everyone for your support

Best wishes to you and your family, Nikki. Many people around the world are thinking fondly of you right now.

I have been absorbed with my Intensive Deck Study deck (Maat) so far this week, as always happens when I do a Big reading and need some time each day to deconstruct it.

I am going to be receiving a new deck in the mail tomorrow, so if I can do less than half a week with it, I will. Otherwise, I'll start a new week with it on Saturday.
