Looks gorgeous - but how does it read?

[Pretzel]

This is a question I end up asking myself as I watch YouTube videos. There are so many great videos on 'first impressions" and flip-throughs but I end up wondering - but does how does it read? Do the cards allow you to look into the image and bring out more than what you'd get on face value? Of course the spread, surrounding cards  and intuition help explore different meanings - but generally "does this deck speak". 

 

I was wondering if you'd like to share some of your decks that always have something to say.

Tabula Mundi Tarot is one that speaks for me.  All minors share some art with the majors that have the same sign and planet (in Thoth/RWS/Golden Dawn astrological correspondences). Sounds technical and dry until you see it play out in different combinations, adding to the meaning and connections between cards. It's been my go to deck since 2016, and it still shows me something new.

@Rose Lalonde thank you so much for sharing! That's super interesting about the sharing of art. Amazing you've been using it so long and you're still getting something new out of it - I love that.
