I love the story it tells but the art work just doesn't work for me at all. I can see how much Lisa loves it but overall it feels inconsistent all the way around. Different font sizes in the guidebook. A mix of RWS and Thoth interpretations. An art style that seems to vary from card to card. A lot of religious symbology but again inconsistently rendered. I am a big fan of reimagined and deconstructed versions of the Tarot but within that I still want to see a consistent story that you can follow. There are flashes of genius throughout but it isn't maintained across the spectrum of the deck. I would be a good deck to play with for a while but I suspect eventually it would get tiresome.
Terrific deep dive. I’ve had this deck for a couple of months and I have been waiting to see if you would be the one to lay it out. 😊The story is strong and this deck deserves the time. Very cool. Thanks, Jaime
The art style reminds me a lot of old Rupert the Bear comic strips. Rupert would work super-well as a tarot deck, he was always going on fantastical spiritual journeys.
@thewhitefeathertarot was using this deck on her channel and I fell in love with it immediately. But reviews have been sparse. Thank you for this in depth review!! My deck is arriving in a few days and I’m even more excited now 🌸🤗
It is like some of the art work was done for a different deck. Like there is more than one artist's vision at work here. It has an odd look to it as it is laid out side by side. It feels incongruent.
I'm shocked you didn't remark more on the card stock/finish. I found the fronts to be a slightly glossy linen, like you said, but the backs felt very "cushiony" or rose petal-y to me. They really do feel like two different finishes to me.
Hmm... strange... I didn't notice a rose petaly finish to the backs at all! Whatever the differences were, it must have just been less noticeable to me. :)
I'm convinced, just bought it. Note there's a Misprint version for only $30. Love decks that provide a new take on tarot meanings, thanks for sharing it.
Omg I so appreciate this video! I got this deck and it took me some time to appreciate it and now having this insight just brings it to another level 🥰
The Thot influence is everywhere on this deck, but comes in with a fresh take. Damn you, I have to buy it now. 😂 edit: the 3 of air as sorrow is spot on thot.
