Interestingly I find myself also drawn to darker decks during the last months, while usually I love to use decks with a spiritual vibe.
That's what I was thinking too.
My favorite weirdos these days are the Night Sun, the Trionfi della Luna and the Deviant Moon. About the latter two, I especially love how darker meanings are addressed in a very light hearted manner.
The thing about Berlin in the 20's is it was a fairly catastrophically dark time, yet it was a powerhouse of creative energy and self-expression.
I started working on this deck (Cult of Weimar Tarot) a long time ago, not anticipating where things were headed politically speaking. Now that it is out, it just seems to fit right in to the current zeitgeist.
And like you said, dark times are often best met with an artist's heart.
