Some Tarot decks work better for me than others, always some give and take, some getting to know one another. But the last deck I purchased was really a disappointment. The Universal Wirth.
The images are great. Check 'em out for yourself: http://www.albideuter.de/html/universal-wirth.html. But I should have looked more closely before ordering.
Switching Air with Water (swords hilt deep in the sea) was something I might be willing to work with because a lot of other things do work, except... I totally don't get the Astrological asignations. And the symbols seem randomly placed: a lot of Virgo and Gemini popping up, especially on the Coins.
I did discover that the boat anchor is an old Christian relegious symbol, roughly representing hope in Christ. That one threw me for a while.
I'd like to find a way to work with this. Does anyone know how the artists of the pips in the Universal Wirth deck arrived at those dignities? More than likely, I'm just missing something and need instruction.
