Hi All
After years of searching I thought I had overcome my fussiness and finally found a deck I liked - the Victorian Romantic. I'm new to formal tarot study but I felt inspired to do it so I started doing daily draws and journalling beautifully in a beautiful, special journal. All was peachy until to my deep distress I picked a card, had a look and found it more distressing than any card I've ever seen before, more distressing than the tower, distressing to the point of finding it obscene. Here's what I posted in the VR study place:

I'm cursed with knowing too much about what is shown in the card. Now I feel like chucking the whole deck in the bin! I mean, if that card came up, how could I read it knowing what I know? "You are in an impossible situation. You will suffer. There's no way out". Has anyone else found that one card in a deck made them totally hit a stumbling block? I'm really sad to abandon this deck as I liked the other cards... so far.
Maybe this means I should never buy without looking at all the cards, but it's not always possible...
Thanks
