Pythagoras 1/10
Everybody speaks of the of the 'veils' Waite put into the deck; I don't see it that way though. To me it is extremely well balanced. You can see Waite's personal reading in the cards artwork and imagery. However, by making them less 'in your face'; in my opinion he managed to stay within the traditional framework while keeping the traditional interpretations. This means that if one choose to read the card in an alternative or traditional manner, you do not have to perform mental acrobatics to make the card work! While also getting the esoteric is you know what you are looking for. Of course, if you did not have an interest in such thing it would not matter much anyway!
Although I personally do not like this deck I do have to admire the approach the creators took when making it. What is your view? Do you see it similarly, or would you rather have it in plain sight?
