Odd Historical Decks ~ January 2016

dancing_moon

Dear lovers of historical decks,

Welcome to the one-off Odd Historical Deck Exchange! This is a place for those of us who have historical decks that don't fit in the TdM format and thus haven't been out to play for a while. :)

For this round, no TdMs are allowed! Decks that qualify are:

- any Etteilla deck, including Esoteric Ancient and Dame Fortune's Wheel
- Sola Busca
- Vacchetta/Tarot of the Master
- Minchiate
- Jeu de Tarot/playing Tarot
- Mantegna
- Egipcios Kier
- Saint-Germain Egyptian Tarot
- Cary-Yale Visconti

If you have any other odd historical decks you think would be fitting here, please let me know. :)

Timeline:
- Sign-up is CLOSED
- Sign-up closes and reading partners to be assigned on: 9th January
- Reading and feedback to be completed by: 31st January
Note: Please PM me and your partner if you expect to be late with your exchange, and an extension of time will be set. Otherwise, unfortunately, you'll earn a strike!

Spreads:
The suggested spread for this exchange is one of the Bridge spreads.

......3
1..........2

1 - Where I am.
2 - Where I want to be.
3 - How I can get there ('the bridge').

You are also free to choose your own spreads, with a minimum of three cards.

The Reading Exchange posting rules apply as usual.

No-show/Problems:
If anybody has a problem completing their reading or feedback, please please please get in touch with your reading partner and myself. It's not nice to be left hanging in an exchange - and whoever is NOT completing an exchange he or she signed up for (and especially fails to communicate about it) will not be allowed to sign up again until it is completed - and in worst case even risks a three months ban from all reading exchanges.

If there should be any problems, feel free to contact me and I will try to sort it out, with the help of another moderator if necessary.

Wishing everyone a happy exchange! :party:

Would Dame Fortune's wheel tarot deck count?

Dame Fortune's Wheel isn't exactly historical, but it's close enough, so bring it in. :) Are you familiar with Etteilla's meanings?

Thank you. I am not familiar with Etteilla's meaning, neither with this Dame Fortune deck. Actually, I regretted having bought it because I don't understand it. So I thought if I work with it a little, I will maybe connect to it???

I'm sure of that. :) It's a lovely deck, very straightforward and easy to read.
