Hi all,
I need help understanding visually these two cards. I'm a HUGE fan of this deck -- I really wanted to use reversals and finally it makes more intuitive sense to me when I do when using this deck. Thank you Zach Wong! =)
I just have an issue with two cards really. If anyone else is using this deck and can comment, I would appreciate it.
The first card, on of my usual favorites, is the 4 of Wands. I usually love this because it's all about celebration for a job well done, contentment, etc. I read in Zach's accompanying book about this card but I still can't seem to make sense of any jubilant or celebratory nature going on here visually. I know there are supposed to be metaphors for planes of life but boy, this card really doesn't work for me at all.
I would love someone to open up my intuition for this one. If there's any card that might want to be re-thought visually for the second edition, it's this one.
For the second card, the 2 of Swords, I guess it's really an issue on meaning here. In all of the other decks I own, the two of swords is usually a woman brandishing two swords with a blindfold, unclear and unable to make a decision. Here we have a guy doing a high-wire act balancing a sword. This reminds me more of the 2 of Pentacles instead of the 2 of Swords. I really think it is stunning visually but really thought the 2 of swords was about indecision and stasis, not balancing. Can someone help me here?
Thanks! For me, this is easily my favorite and most responsive deck so far. I just really hate (cry) the 4 of Wands visually. And the usually 2 of Swords meaning doesn't fit this version of the card for me.
Can someone help?
Thanks!
KUDOS ZACH! Amazing deck! I hope to see more "reversible" decks from you and others in the future!
