i recently bought the wolfpack tarot - http://www.wolfpacktarot.com/ , and i simply love this deck. it's really not a tarot deck at all, instead, just 78 cards, 76 of them in "landscape" - that is sideways, as opposed to the normal "portrait" orientation, like every other single tarot deck i've ever seen. perhaps that's just part of its charm. there's two cards in portrait - what i'd consider to be "significators" - one male, and one female. for animal lovers, especially those who have an affinity with wolves, this is a "must own" deck. for anyone else, especially beginners who may have a fear of the "regular" tarot, this deck is also a "must own". at least it is for me.
when i heard about the deck, i went to their web site, which also has a sample three card spread, which of course, i took advantage of. the cards predicted that i'd encounter an opportunity to meet my soulmate, along with the realization of personal goals and dreams. quite a positive reading. i went back a couple of weeks later (against the recomendation of the site - they say don't get a reading more than once a month), and the main card was "love" - "you may now find your soulmate and marry within 12 - 18 months or better your present relationship..." i chuckled at the confidence of the combined readings.
a week later to the day, i met my current boyfriend - he emailed me out of the blue, and we connected almost instantly. we met the following weekend, and have been dating ever since - almost three months now. he calls almost every day, and i see him every weekend. i am hopelessly in love. i remember thinking after we first met, about the readings.
each card is numbered (though i can't see any pattern in the numbering with regard to the meanings), named, and has a few sentances of interpretation written right at the top of each card. usually, i am not the type to like this - i like to interpret my own cards thank-you. but they are so well done, and the meanings are so clear, that in this deck, it really works.
the art is perfect. i like a certain style of artwork in my decks - realism, but not photographic. "comic book", but not 1940's batman. surrealistic, but not salvidore dali or roger dean. simplistic, but not overly so. real - both figuratively and literally, as if a person drew from their soul, and this deck is a perfect example. i like every single card. i'm not what i'd consider a lover of wolves - i don't dislike them either, but i just haven't had any major attraction to them. yet still, this deck speaks - no, make that sings - to me.
there's no little white book. you really don't need one as the meanings are written right on the cards themselves. there's two extra cards that have spread information and recommendations on how to best use the cards. and that's it.
while i might hesitate to use these cards for readings for other people because of the meanings being written right on the face of the cards themselves, as a meditation deck, a self-discovery deck, or a self reading deck, i love it. this is really the first totally non-tarot divination deck i've ever used. the only similarity to the tarot is that it has 78 cards. other than that, there are no suits, no majors, no minors, just 78 cards with 78 meanings.
yeah, i know, i'm raving about it. i guess it really works for me. now if they made a butterfly deck, i think i'd be in heaven...
luv and light,
