I have a love:hate relationship with this deck. The good - is its uniqueness and some amazing reads I've had by concentrating more on the images... over the card meanings. Also, it is just... unique. I also like the general forest-green color tones. The bad? Well, the "meaning" words at the bottom of the minor arcana drive me nuts. I really don't need a word that I disagree with right there on top interfering with intuition - much less confusing a querrant. In fact I just took the deck yesterday and blacked-out the entire right half of the bottom border with a sharpie, and trimmed the white borders off on the other three sides... Perhaps a brash and drastic measure, but I feel it is improved. We'll see. Still struggling with some meanings where the image conflicts with the traditional meaning such as the 5 and 7 of cups. Others like the Blasted Oak or Mirror, I really dig. The cardstock is rough, but so many now have this same rough cardboard stock and blank backs I'm OK with it but not excited. I actually think the book is decent and interesting, but a lot new to learn if you are learning another method or two at the same time.
