Here in this thread I hope to journal my own initial personal observations, feelings and thoughts on The Victorian Fairy Tarot.
Just received The Victorian Fairy Tarot deck and companion book the other day and I am really hoping this will be my new tarot reading deck! I use Frouds Faeries Oracle mainly but wanted a fairy tarot I could feel an equal connection and passion for.
These cards are beautifully painted. The are borderless and so have whole images with lots of detail in the scenes and in the characters themselves they are packed with life, movement and feeling. They focus on Spring Summer Autumn and Winter as their suits. I love this aspect as I love the change of seasons in Scotland. I feel already this deck is talking to me for this strong seasonal and nature based images.
I read the book, such a charming story to engage in, I love how Lunaea Weatherstone draws you in to the world of the fae and you get such a strong feel for the era of the Victorians and of their need for their whole hearted belief in the fairy.
Another theme running through the images of the cards is of flowers. Most of the cards have a flower, plant or tree which adds extra significance to the meaning of the image on the card. At the back of the book is a very helpful little index of all the flowers, plants and trees used in the tarot and their meaning for you to reference while exploring scenes on the cards.
Im really into exploring this deck further and in depth. So I reckon il run this thread for that reason. I hope to include exploring individual cards, maybe a daily card. And I hope to post readings with my own interpretations on the meanings of the cards and how they relate and interact respectively with one another for study purposes only. I will not comment on any readings posted regarding any specific situation for the purpose of interpreting readings. However i will comment on the imagery, connections between images and how the cards interact with one another. I might also include 'getting to know your deck' tasks. Whatever I feel like doing that will aid study of this particular deck.
Feel free to chirp in
