Pros and Cons Thread #2 - Enabling and De-Enabling

Scarlet Woodland

Mary-El

Huge thanks to Glitternova, Sweetscarlet and Tippyjane. I had a feeling this deck was something special.

Thanks for the heads-up on the heirophant too; now I can spend some time with the image over the next week before ordering. Weirdly, as a definite non breeder, I'm fine with the image as a whole; I just need to reconcile myself with the creepy spider fingers!

The Japaridze is beautiful but will definitely save that for a later date now, when I've got to know my latest batch of decks... and of course, the Mary El :)

Do I need the Happy Tarot? What's one good reason not to get it? How much time do I have to wait before it goes out of print?

Looks dumb. I'd wait until it's in the bargain bin if you're still tempted. Just my 2p. Happy 4th! :)

I'm with golden on this. It'll be in the bargain bin in no time.

Thank you, it's so easy to get caught up in the excitement!

Thoughts on the Ludy Lescot tarot? I'm looking for a readable deck with slightly macabre imagery, and RWS symbolism.

I ordered it recently because it was a great price and I heard really GOOD things about it. Plus, I like the artist. He's the same one that did Initiatory Tarot of the Golden Dawn, which I plan to get at some point. I'll let you know by weekend what I think about Ludy Lescot.

Nothing better than a bargain. I look forward to your review. :)

From the scans I've seen, I'm not Sure about the slightly part of macrable in this deck. It's pretty hairy, in my opinion.

Ludy Lescott?

It isn't RWS, is it? Macabre, yes (but nowhere near enough - is cleavage macabre? ) but not really RWS from what I remember before I got rid. I think his Initiatory Dawn deck is far better. Again, more really macabre cleavage...
