Hey Luna
Thanks for the welcome.
I really do like the art on these cards. A lot of them remind me of 1950's movies - they have a kind of Hitchcock feel - Communication reminds me of North by Northwest. Possibly, it is also because of the styles of dress and the fact that a lot of those movies were in black and white. There is just something that reminds me of the Silver Screen. And I like that.
The Troubleshooter would be a good one. I like that card visually. Even though, at the moment, I have little ideas about what it could mean.
This deck makes a nice change from the traditional tarot because it does rely heavily on your own interpretations; your own past, memories and relation to the images - like somebody else mentioned, ink blot tests. It's quite refreshing. It is a deck I would recommend to a Newbie before they start with the tarot, just so that they can get used to using their intuition, rather than memorising LWB meanings. Gets their intuition working by just looking at the images and later, transfer that way of looking and feeling onto the standard 78 tarot cards. For me, it is nice to not be hindered by what interpretations have already been given to a card. It makes the deck personal and 'mine' almost instantly. I think this would be a great deck for story telling with. The amount of stories and characters are endless.
When you read cards such as The Fool, Lovers, Justice, do you think of the traditional tarot meanings. For example, Lovers would indicate choise as part of the meaning in the tarot. When I look at it in this deck, I don't see or feel that. I think of two lovers and would look at the other cards (Mistake or Challenge or Secrets) to see what was in store for the couple. Putting cards together here alters the meaning so vastly. I think I am going to enjoy working with these cards. It seems lighthearted but as you work them together, it becomes deeper. And ... at £5.99, this is a great little deck to get your hands on and worth every penny - if not more.
From what I can see, it is quite a personal deck that can give very immediate and direct answers. Sometimes I may pull a card such as 'The World' and draw a blank; feel detatched from it and not know what it is trying to communicate. These cards look like they may just jump up and hit you over the head with the message. For simplistic imagery, they do evoke a lot - even from the first glances I have had of them.
Look forward to continuing with them.
Best wishes
