I love this deck. More and more.
And it's so not me in terms of theme etc but it really won me over. It's RWS but with so many added info and details and whimsy that you forget you're reading with a deck that is rehashing because it has so much that is original.
It has a very distinct dynamic which I can't put my finger on. It's almost like I forget it is RWS , but if I stop and think, I know that it is.
I think Llewellyn did a really good job on this one - the borderlessness, the shufflability, the colours, the extensive companion book, the way it feels like traditional fairy tale illustrations and yet wildly contemporary. I like how it is mixed, male & female, young & old, not too twee. The suits as seasons is inspired and works perfectly.
So much there to pull you in. So easy to read with. I'm tempted in my next few readings for others to use this deck (so far I've only used it for myself) but I'd really need time and space to draw everything out of the card as there is so much there. Yet it is that symbolism you can pick out on the spur of the moment - not Kabbalah/hermeticism/astrology/alchemy type things that require years of study. A truly lovely deck. I just bought the app to browse the enlarged cards whilst travelling to & from work...
This is my favourite Llewellyn deck in years.
