Deck of The Week: Sign-up Thread: Week 237 : January 22 - January 29

@vulprix, the Lua is lovely. My new mantra is "Just because I like it doesn't mean I need it." 😂 This group is enabling without even trying.

 

@Rachelcat, does the Playing Card Tarot have its own meaning for the cards, or are they pretty standard tarot meanings?

I really felt that this deck was enabling all on its own. It is truly beautiful.

 

I need to downsize on decks a bit, but I can safely say that I have a love for almost all of those that I have. 🙂 I admire your mantra, lol!

Hi!  The trumps look like pretty standard meanings. It points out the minimalist symbols on the cards.  Example:

6: Lovers - harmony, trust, emotional bond, duality

Symbolism:  serpent, apple, flower

 

The pips look like they could be combining some cartomancy meanings in there.  Example:

Fives:  control, adaptation, curiosity

Diamonds - a change for the better, improvement

 

Face cards look pretty standard, but I'm not sure where this one came from!

Queens:  nurturers, feminine personalities

Diamonds - sophisticated, flirtatious, gossipy, outgoing 

 

Let me know if there is a specific card meaning you want to see!

Thanks Rachelcat! You explained it well - sort of a mix between tarot and cartomancy meanings.😊

@Amberjune I love the Oracle of Mystical Moments on occasion. I'm immensely curious to know what you think of yours.

PS watch the dark print! It's treacherous to read.

My deck pet peeve is when there is a lack of body (and age) diversity, which this deck falls into. I love it when there are "lived in" bodies, and/or body types other than the Maiden depicted in decks.

This one is very heavy on the Maiden, with all of them very skinny and young. This overemphasis of the Maiden archetype always feels misogynistic to me, or like an attempt of erasure of the actual lived bodily experience of women and femmes. I get that this deck is playing with a specific ethereal vibe and am looking forward to playing and spending some time with it. I bought this back when it first came out and don't think I would buy it today. Did not get the Tarot version of it.  I like that it has little phrases on the cards instead of key words..

I've decided to keep my Sola Busca Revisited for personal use in my regular rotation. I've been busy this week, as I purchased a cabinet for my decks pre-owned at a great price. ( These are personal and working decks. My packs for clients are stored elsewhere).

@Wyrdkiss That really is a nice cabinet.  Being able to see inside is wonderful.  All my storage areas are chests and things you can't see into.  I think I like your idea better 🙂

Thanks I've wanted something like this for a long time. The opportunity finally came.

 

Yes I'm kind of a velvet bag / leather tarot case junkie @Mi-Shell
