Hi, I was wondering if anyone else finds the rider waite deck a tad negative?
I 've been using it for several years now, and alot of the images seem to suggest general negativity. Maybe it's just the books I'm getting the interpretations from?
It's not that I want a deck that's all sunshine and roses, but alot of the images are quite sinister when you really look at them. I really like the symbollism, but I think in a few cases it could have been executed in a different way, so you don't just look at a card and automatically think "oh jeeze"
I'm seriously thinking about retiring my rider deck and getting something more upbeat.
any opinions, thoughts?
thanks,
Lilliana
