I need some support here...
Today is officially the longest time I've ever exclusively used one deck for reading and studying. However I'm really feeling the need to buy another one (the Hermetic Tarot). It's REALLY appealing to me, both as a deck I could read and also study. However I feel that I would be betraying my original goals by switching.
I've made good progress journalling and posting my daily draws, but I feel I'll never really understand the intentions behind the RWS (i.e what Waite and Smith actually intended) as there's so little GENUINE info on this deck. 99% of the books on this deck are purely hypothetical opinions on what the authors think the symbols suggest.
I want to know for certain what each symbol means. I really want a deck that I can learn inside out - that has relevant and researchable info. The Hermetic seems to be a good contender for this.
I don't want to switch, but I don't want to have that nagging feeling that I'm not really understanding the deck as well as I should be.
Can someone remind me (or give me kick up the backside) why I should continue with my deck and not switch?
