Doreen Virtue is making a tarot deck...

omg :D

I just got home from work, and this thread did exactly what I needed, it really made me laugh!
I'm sick of this woman, and her work, so I most definitely won't be buying these.

There's something I like about some of the artist's work.

But most of the angel pictures . . . I'm not an angels person.

On the other hand, "dark decks" in which creepiness is exaggerated to great effect are much in vogue, right?

So what's the diff?

I have yet to meet a dark deck which guaranteed everything would look awful DOOM DOOM WE ARE DOOMED and so on. That everything would be negative - as this one guarantees positivity. That they are ungentle, dangerous and untrustworthy.

THAT's the difference, for me.

That and the artwork.... :(

Wow, that art is lovely!
I'm almost tempted to buy this deck for the lulz, but I'm concerned that my Tarot of Vampyres might find it abhorrent and stop working for me.

My guess is she'll probably rename the cards. Death will be "Change", Devil will be "Attachment" or something, the Tower will be "The Sparkly Crystal Spire of Atlantis".

I'm more curious about the handling of the Minors. Like the naming of the Pents/Coins suit. How will that work in an Angel of Light theme? And will they be fully illustrated scenes?

Oh, I just remembered . . . Hay House does a lot of their decks in iPod/Pad/Phone apps. I shall wait for that first.

Maybe they'll be "Orbs of Light (and Love)" instead? :p
I was just thinking the picture entitled "Our Lady of Redemption", in this gallery: http://www.fantasy-graphic.com/Gallery-D.htm might make a good sanitized Tower card, it looks sort of...fiery....

I'd personally like to see how she handles the Swords suit, especially the ten.

Oh boy. Virtue and Valentine.

I'm conceptualizing a deck to affirm and validate the deep and abiding importance of love, caring, nurturing and regeneration. What do you think--should I find partner named White and change my name to Yolk?
