Rachelcat Posted Monday at 07:13 PM Posted Monday at 07:13 PM Hi! Here I am! This week will be the new (to me) Duck Soup deck I mentioned, Mystic Tarot. It’s a collage based on turn-of-the-20th-century stage magician posters (it looks like along with other similar ephemera). Which had a disturbing amount of devil imagery. I have an art book of such posters, thinking they would make a good deck. Once again, someone has beaten me to it in a better way than I could. It’s a little off-putting that “Mystic Tarot” is on each card, but I can live with that. Otherwise, I like the moon and stars stage curtain frames and backs. There is some renaming of the majors, but the suits and courts are RWS standard. Let’s interview. What is your most important characteristic? 4 of Cups The deck has it all, but some people won’t see that. What is your strength? Universe Everything! It’s much more mainstream tarot that we think. Your weakness? Ace of Pentacles It would be cool if the suit were crystal balls! Maybe it’s not that much different than his other decks. The deck is nothing new. What can you teach me? King of Pentacles It can teach me to like what I like and be proud of that. Wait, what’s that goblin doing at the bottom??? The kings has subdued it, I guess. How can I learn it? 2 of Cups I should have a nice balanced relationship with my likes and dislikes. We’re veering back into circus territory again. But I do think it’s a cute image of “balanced relationship.” What will be the outcome of our work together? Hermit Interesting that it’s a lone tree, not a person. Kind of looks like a failed pentacles card with all the suns and coins? I may feel alone as the only person who likes the deck! Well, we’ll see how it works this week.

Bodhiseed Posted yesterday at 11:42 AM Posted yesterday at 11:42 AM (edited) I'm in this week with the Nigel Jackson Tarot paired with the Viking Lenormand. Thank you Fire cat! Posted Sunday at 08:52 AM Nigel Jackson Tarot, Ace of Coins; Viking Lenormand, Garden Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow. ― Aesop The Ace of Coins suggests substance (concrete things) and sensation (the information from our senses). Aesop warns us to not spend too much time in our minds - fantasizing, ruminating, or contemplating abstract ideas - because we might unintentionally lose what is in the here and now. Garden usually makes us think of the outdoors. Yet there's a big difference in being outside at a birthday party with 15 rowdy kids or doing yard work versus simply sitting in the quiet and paying attention. Nature captures all of our senses, whether a bird's song or a breeze, helping us to slow down and see with a full heart. Edited yesterday at 11:42 AM by Bodhiseed
