fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the Week
So, most of you know I usually post in one of my journals, but it has been so long since I posted a reading I thought I would share in our thread this time! An update: I have had several health scares the last few months. All of them have turned out to be nothing! After been poked, prodded, scanned and examined I have been officially found fit as a fiddle. Additionally, I have decided to rent out my house and move in with my mother after my stepfather passed away in June. This is not for financial reasons. My best friend and his family of 4 (5 next week!) were going to get evicted and needed a place to stay and we (my mother and I) felt it best that they rent from me. Also, my mother cannot take care of this (large) house by herself after her husband is now gone. (I know, a lot to process but now you know why I have been absent for a while!) This was the cliffnotes version ;) Onto my reading. Turning over a new leaf. what can I expect this upcoming week as I regroup, recommit and refocus. I got Page of Wands (tarot de le rea) Staying grounded (note the earth symbol he provides) as I start out fresh. Pages are the sentinels of new beginnings, after all. At times I will feel overwhelmed but I just need to keep my eyes on what my goals are. I often see the Page of Wands as the perpetual student. I need to approach my next project from this viewpoint. Get out paper and pencil, write it all down, rinse and repeat, get it in my muscle memory. If I have it memorized both physically and mentally I can't go wrong. I can't guide those I am taking on a journey unless I can first take myself there. What's the saying, "you can't transmit what you yourself haven't got?" something like that. There is something of a Hermit-like quality to this Page of Wands. S/he is almost like a baby-Hermit. This reminds me to take time for myself as well.
If you're nostalgic about the early internet, or were born too late but wish you'd surfed it before corporations got their claws in it, this deck might be for you. It's a bit odd, like those weird sites you'd come across that felt like hidden treasures, since often you would need to stumble upon them or hear about them from a stranger in chat. (To this day I miss a site where you'd type words to change a simple line layout of an apartment. Like an early word cloud. Just in my memory, unless you remember it too? Or the Death Clock, which was more well known, and gave me a date I'm happy to say I passed years ago. 😅)

Details: Art includes collage. No AI was used. Photo shows The Fool, 7 of Pixels (Wands), Ace of Glitches (Cups), card back, and on the second row the 5 of Glitches, Queen of Illusions (Swords) 6 of Components (Pents) and LWB. With the exception of courts, cards have a different title for upright or reversed (or if like me you don't read reversals, a second title to consider within the range of meanings for a card.) 10s are numbered Ø.
The art is surreal; the color pallet is meant to remind you of back in the day, and the theme is front and center throughout. It's not a RWS clone by any means, and not a deck I'd recommend for beginners.
From the creator: "The Deleted World Tarot is a tool for healing the rift between the choices of the past and the consequential loss of alternative futures. A tool and a story told out of order and out of time, it's a hope that illuminates the worlds we lose by the choices we make every day, and a call to consider what is worth saving. What is not saved will be lost."
