A Grimaud was my very first Tarot deck a few decades ago but I just couldn't find my way in, or past, the bold primary colors, the chunky shapes, the stark landscape. I wanted oblique, I wanted subtle but how could my young self access what was still nascent in my own being. Fast forward a few decades and I stumble across...don't laugh...the Marseille Cats deck. Not exactly oblique, meow, but the felinity with its celebration of the elusive and haughty drew me in and the color scheme is less monochromatic which has been helpful to me in establishing a more resonant relationship with the tradition.
Those cats were my portal, from there I found the LoS Universal Marseille which my 21st century eyes with their need for variety like a lot. But the one that really did it for me was the Madenie. Here, finally, was the obliqueness I sought. For me, with this deck, it's the silences that speak to me, the poetry of the unsaid that lies all around the images and spills off the edges of the cards into the realm of the Beloved, the timeless, the true, the Question.
I'm not sure if that answers your questions, OP. I'm still so very green, with only one slim toe dipped into the waters of this lineage but I'm rather in love.
