1. Tell us the name of your deck and any other important info (publisher maybe, number of cards in it etc)
Lo Scarabeo's "Flowers of Love" deck of 36 cards.
There are six categories:
1. Flowers of Waiting
2. Flowers of Indifference
3. Flowers of Passion
4. Flowers of Jealousy
5. Flowers of Declared Love
6. Flowers of Faithful Love
2. Tell us what drew you to this deck? Did you see it in a shop? Read about it? Get it as a gift? Also tell us how long you have had it and whether you have worked with it a lot or maybe it has just lingered on the shelf
Well, it was pretty. I'm new to cards so spent a few days looking through pics of decks online because I'm a researching kind of girl. I decided to buy it for myself as an Ostara present a few weeks back because a holiday about love is kind of depressing when it falls on a weekend your ex is up visiting the kids. The cards were supposed to cheer me up and give me happy dreams about Mr Wonderful who I've been told will show up in my life at the end of next year. It didn't work, but tossing the cards in the recycling bin in a huff seems rather juvenile.
Flowers, obviously. Each corresponds to an aspect of the game of love. The guide book is pretty brief so I'm hoping this study group will help the deck and I make friends.3. Tell us the "theme" or "characters" of the deck....you don't have to go into great detail but some decks have animals, others objects, some people etc...
4. If you have a place where we can "look at" the deck please let us know that also. That may be helpful later on.
There seems not to be, other than the pic on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Flowers-Love-...id=1349393530&sr=8-1&keywords=flowers+of+love
5. Then concentrate on this group and your deck as you shuffle cards...draw a card. This will represent this group and the direction or path or involvement we all will take as we work together....tell us about the card and your feelings and first thoughts when you look at it and relate it to this group.
Card 34- Sunflower- Trusting Adoration. (Aww. I do have a sentimental side.)
There are sunflowers in the foreground, and a lady in a peplos behind them, with her back to us, stepping up to the edge of a cliff, arms out, face turned up to the sun.
It feels like a happiness card without much in the way of expectation from the outside; nothing more than the expectation of being accepted. The lady is enjoying aspects of the natural world; they are not there as a personal favour to her, so it is her own happiness created within, but they are a pleasant aid in accessing it. Nature is accepting her as part of itself, not as something apart.
Now to read the rest of the thread. (And to keep waiting for my new oracle deck to show up in the mail. *cough, cough*)
