The Gendron was one of the first decks that I got. I confess that I really liked it, probably because it had parrots. But reading with it just didn't work for me.
YES - it has Kasuku's! (Parrots).
Re-reading earthair's comment about "*offbeat* minors" made me LOL.
Some of the minors in here are real favourites:
- 3 of Swords - a naked lady about to impale her hands on swords with the 3rd one above her head, that she's looking at... (perfect for the agony of head over heart. And for sorrow.)
- I love both the 6 and 7 of Swords, and the fact that to me, she got them the wrong way round. The image for 6 and 7 should be swapped. And - that's actually how I read them.
(the 6 has a lady with a flame torch in a forest, walking through swords. the 7 has a lady walking away from a ship on the sea, with some luggage).
- I adore the 4 of Pentacles. Reminds me of scenes in the movie "The Craft" - and the greed of the lead "bad" character there. Her greed for power.
- The 4 of Swords, a lady is apparently meandering the beach in a kimono patterned bath robe.
- And the 5 of Swords. A lady on a stairwell looking down, kind of disdainfully (mental battles indeed).
HUH - I REALLY like the Swords.
I still
it.
I suspect - I always will.
Just been on a "Time to update my Tarot bags" trip and am waiting for a beautiful dragonfly patterned bag to arrive - a new home for my Gendron deck.
