Mine arrived today, number 166 as requested,and it really is lovely. After an initial shuffle through I spread out the majors and had a good look at each one and was surprised at how "interperatable" they were. Considering the lack of people that are usually so integral to their meanings, I found the majors very intuative to their base meanings, but covered in little details pointing back to both RWS and Thoth decks, so going over them in fine detail is going to be a lot of fun.
I then laid out the pips and courts, but must confess that I payed much more attention to the courts. I actually chuckled when I realized the patten of the courts and their elemental correspondences. Pages are earthy gardens, knights are fireplaces and mantles, queens are fountains and kings are airy windows. It starts off subtly then pokes you in the eye when you lay them out together.
I'll have a better look at the rest of the pips in the daylight, but of the ones I glanced at, some the meanings are quite obviouse, and others are going to need my notebook and some reference books to make sense of, but then that's allways part of the fun.
The cards themselves are quite "slick" and I imagine will shuffel nicely ( I haven't mixed mine up yet). Each suite has a themed border that pulls them together and looks awesome fanned with the gilt edges, and the majors have different coloured borders, I'm sure there's a hidden meaning in the colours of the majors borders and am looking forward to working that puzzle out.
So far I am ridiculously happy with Neil's deck and giggled like an idiot when I found it in the letterbox tonight.
Agreed! And here's what I'm finding each time I use it: it's a rocking little deck to read with. The images tell you precisely what you need to know - the details take turns to be noticed, depending on what it is that needs to be seen. I was worried it would be all style and aesthetic value, but it isn't. It's a readable, workable deck as well.
