Hello TdM'ers
Haven't visited for a while. Hope everyone is well.
I haven't 'played' with my decks for a while. Sometimes I take extended tarot breaks. But today we busted out my old home trimmed Noblet, and as always, it nailed the message with three fantastic and precise cards. Blessed deck!
Anyways, this inspired me to bring out my card collection and I started laying down cards in the bed, just looking at the faces and lines and enjoying some of the latest additions, like Yves' Burdel and Heri decks. I love doing this, but this time I came to the conclusion that those pokey sharp corners render a deck unusable for me. Yes I can look at it and enjoy the colors and art but there is no real connection or feeling yet from it until I soften the corners a little.
In my opinion, a tarot deck needs to be a friend who likes to be fondled, caressed, laid down without it getting snagged on fabric or skin.
Plus it's not that hard. There are some awesome super small radius corner cutters that barely change the ancient look and make the deck look finished and friendly.
My two cents, nobody asked, nobody invited my opinion but there it is. So if someone out ther is planning on releasing another historic tarot deck, please consider giving it a little edge love
Ciao,
Bryan.
