Most of what I bought this year that came out this year was a big disappointment.
Sun & Moon...hopelessly lightweight
Rosetta.....better than the Thoth, but still waaay to heavy.
Today's Journey.....this is a bad joke, right? It looks like it came out of some mittle-european 30 years ago parallel-world fantasy. I absolutely couldn't relate to the people, the art, the concept, any of it.
The Witches Tarot....I'm not sure. It may go up for sale yet. I'm trying it out to see how it reads before giving up on it.
As Above. O Come On. It's not even Tarot, it's a teaching module for Wicca 101! Where is it connected to Tarot?? The Majors? Kind of...the minors??? Bite me! At NO point do they intersect with Tarot. The book has a section on As Below, and it seems like a sketchy cartooney modern happy happy deck in weird colors that's mostly RWS based. Kind of the Grown-up version of the teen-witchy crap LoS puts out regularly.
But the Big Winner Take All was the "Law of Attraction". This is way past a bad joke, this is absolute shit! What where they thinking? What where they smoking? And to add insult to injury, the art on the cards is nothing like the beautiful art on the box. Not Even The Same Artist!! It's Ugly! Why did they do this? ABOMINATION!!!!
OK. That covers it for now. Thanks for the opportunity to Tell All, Tarotbear!

Don't hold anything back, mags!
I think I said this in a previous thread, but I was very disappointed with the Lost Tarot of Nostradamus.

I don't believe in itDon't hold anything back, mags!
so I hardly ever do. Which impacts my popularity and I'll never get the Miss Congeniality ribbon. But really, these are awful decks!Mi-Shell
Yes, Ghosts and Spirits for me too - due to the very same reasons.

I have been trying to give a deck a second chance if it doesn't quite fit my expectations right away. Despite what others might think about a deck, I have decided not to get some that don't appeal to me. Before I often caved in to other peoples' opinions and thought there must be something wrong with me when I didn't like cards everyone else seemed to love. One thing is certain, I don't care for "cutesy" decks. I like fairies and elves if the art is good, but when it gets a little too whimsical, I'm lost.

Honestly, I really don't like making any artist feel bad about their decks just because I don't like them myself that much. I'm sure there are others who think they're just awesome.
Ghosts and Spirits put me off because I didn't like the grimy-looking border on the cards and they just weren't talking to me so I decided to let them go. The only one of her decks I've kept---and I've had them all----is the Fairytale. I don't use it, but I love the card stock, the finish, and the art on them and I just can't ever part with it. I'm sure if I tried to use it I could, which is more than I can say for some of her decks. I don't like the backs of them, though. They're just blah. Maybe I should take a pen to them and make them some colors or something.
The Wildwood was a really pretty, really nice deck, but it just wasn't for me. I liked the way the cards shuffled but I wouldn't have ever gotten much use from it so I let it go.

Darkana for me too. I took it out after
my resentment after the kickstarter fiasco was gone, and found it to be less "badass masculine" and more "trying too hard."
Some of the individual cards are great though!

This this this. WHY will Schiffer not use decent, usable stock ? I WANT Beth Seilonen's Ravens, that they are putting out shortly - but I DREAD the card stock.
I am reserving judgement on Book of Shadows till I see the other half. Because I have a HUGE amount of time for Barbara Moore, and talked to her about it a while ago... not that I actually deplore the one we have already.
