Being on the fringes of the Pacific North West or maybe the North North West, I can so identify with this deck... it's like being outside, it's all familiar and knowable. In fact some of the cards look like real places around here and was THE best deck for doing local readings with, though I must admit there are times when some of the images baffle me, until later... when things happen or more is revealed and then those cards that baffled me make perfect sense. It's just at the time, being baffled sucks. But then again, I can be easily baffled by my trusty RWS... sometimes we just can't see what it is trying to say to us, no matter what.
It is tarot, but it's almost an oracle tarot and works best I think when you rely more on your intuition than rote traditional tarot, but even then, the readings I have done using it have been pretty good and made all kinds of sense to the people I was reading for.
