I am in this week with Warren Tusk's "New Tarot".

(How many "New Tarot" Decks are there, anyway?)

Deviant Moon-2 of Swords

In gladiator attire, two powerful men--one dark, one light, joined at the hip to a single pair of legs--glare while taking a break from swordfighting with each other.

The image speaks to me of constant struggle, and an enemy you can't defeat, and can't get away from. And if you could defeat him, his blood loss would be your blood loss. Short of getting surgically un-attached and going through life one-legged, with the same old enemy out there, the only way out of the situation portrayed, would be to cooperate instead of fight. This would mean making concessions. Humility or constant vigilance and battle-weariness, that is the question.

LWB: "Two mighty swordsmen of equal skill have reached a stalemate. They rest a moment before resuming their battle. ... Stalemate. Balanced powers. An immovable obstacle. Rest before action. ... Falsehoods. Lies. Treachery."


***ACK! This showed up in the wrong thread, after taking forever to load. Very sorry, but I don't know how to move it?***

I've had enough rest before action, waiting for spring mud to dry, in order to be passable. I hope there is no falsehood, lies, or treachery, because today I just finished helping someone with their taxes, and that would be a bad mix.

no problem Swimming, just copy it to where you wanted and use this space to share what deck you'll be using next week.

I'm going to do something with runes next week VGimlet, thanks!

 

[BodhiSeed]

I'll be pairing up Navigators of the Mystic Sea with the Celtic Lenormand. Thank you VGimlet!

 

[Madrigal]

I'm in with Witches again but I'm trimming it today so it will be the same deck but better

 

[VGimlet]

Yep, no problem swimming. You can just do what AJ said when you're ready.

Runes, very cool AJ. I have some runes I got from a friend, never tried them out.

I keep trying to restart my Tarot practice and then life gets in the way again. But I want to jump on board this week and play with the Haindl, which has sat unused in my collection for a few years now.

Looking forward to participating with you all again. It's been a long hiatus and I miss my Tarot!

 

[VGimlet]

Welcome back swedishfish! Hope you like the Haindl.

I am not thrilled with the New Tarot so far. Maybe once I get used to it - it definitely travels off the beaten path, which I usually like, but it might be too far for me at the moment.

I had to go check out the images. I see what you mean about being far off the beaten path. I think this might be usable as an oracle for me, but not a tarot. The artwork reminds me a little of Marchetti's.
