Rachelcat Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Hi Fire Cat! I hope all is well with you. Enjoy your historical deck! This week for me will be The Green Codex Tarot. Back to tarot this week. This is a vibe / impulse purchase for me. It just looks cool so I thought I’d try it. It doesn’t go in any of my categories, except that it has a dragon (Strength), an alchemical operation (10 of Cups), a unicorn (wounded in the 5 of Swords), and a satyr (a rather spicy King of Wands)! According to the book, “The main function of this deck is to support human adaptation to the social and natural ecosystem through a connection with nature and implementation of ecological behavioral models.” Yeah, I probably won’t use the book much . . . Although it has a good clarification of a SWOT spread. It has a poem and text for each card. Something that bugs me a bit is there are no queens; all are princesses. And the several elemental pentagrams in the deck are wonky, but that’s just me being picky. Let’s see what it has to say for itself: What is your most important characteristic? Ace of Swords It’s a new way of understanding tarot. But the new comes from the old. What is your strength? 10 of Swords It’s a lot to learn. But I like that. St. Sebastian visual reference. Your weakness? 5 of Wands Aforementioned disagreement with pentagrams. The deck is a little bit in your face regarding its straying from the typical. What can you teach me? Page of Pentacles It can teach me that I’m still just a beginner, still growing and breaking the surface of things. How can I learn it? The Star By seeing the beauty and positive in things. What will be the outcome of our work together? 2 of Swords We’ll agree to disagree. Or agree to see two sides of every issue. Ok, interesting! We’ll see how the week goes!
