Anyone do a Grand Tableau with this deck yet?

greatdane

I only like to do three card readings, so I prefer poker, bridge or tarot size, but I think it's great for those who do a Grand Tableau.

Do you prefer minis for a GT?

I saw this video, it may be posted elsewhere here in AT, but I thought it was cool for those who do readings around this time of year and who like smaller cards to do GT's.

Love me some minis!

Hi greatdane

Well personally i prefer to have a couple of mini decks around for a GT. Not jumping on the Halloween theme this year, but definitely have a preference for clear uncluttered illustrations for the smaller cards.

My 2 favorites are:
the Wanderwust mini
and the AliZen's Moonshadow mini

First one is taken fm an old Lenormand (Wust) and highlighted w/ bright modern colors on just the part that points to the symbol itself, and the second on is a very modern take w/ simple and lovely clear images. And those 2 are all I need! (for now lol)

Thank you for that, IHeartRescues!

Not doing GT's myself, it still seemed reasonable it might be a bit easier with a mini, if for no other reason than space.

And KUDOS to you! I have a rescue dog and I heart rescues too!

Eeesh. Too small for me, but I hope you enjoy your mini deck!

greatdane

I don't use minis, Padma

I was looking up videos on the Samhain Lenormand just to see if one was out there. I have three Samhains, the reg poker size, and all I found was the one on the mini and wondered if anyone used it esp for GT's.

To be honest, I would not only have a prob seeing a mini, but shuffling one. But I can see how they could be useful in GT's and space.

Just shmoosh them around on the table lol

Well greatdane, I actually keep a magnifying glass close by!

And PS: Rescues (think mutts) really do make the best (and healthiest) pets. I think it's because they have the benefit of not being bred to an unhealthy specification (?), and they never forget that it was YOU that took them in

So true IHeartRescues

My dog was on the kill list at the shelter, a no kill took him and his brother, brother was adopted, he wasn't. He adopted me

. He's a CoJack, Corgi/Jack Russell. And the light of my life

Oh yeah back to minis! I can certainly see a use for them in GT's, but I would have a problem seeing them. Heck I have a prob shuffling them.

o just one more thing...

Hi again gd:

I just had an idea if you ever want to use a lot of cards but the minis are just too small for you...Trim your bridge-sized decks. I was just watching Malkiel using a guillotine slicer on his Lennies and a corner-rounder, and voila! no need to BUY any minis... I know, you don't use them....

Give the pooch an smooch! <3

greatdane

Thank IHreatRescues But

I don't do, and have no desire to do, GT's or any larger than three card readings with Lenormand or tarot and I would never trim a deck. Not good with scissors ahahahahahha. Seriously, I can edge, never trim.
Thanks for that tip though as I am sure others who do larger spreads and find minis too small will find that tip very useful.
And My Pup thanks you
