I find the Thoth intimidating, too. I ended up buying a second, large size, deck and trimming it. That one seems a bit less "haughty". Dark Goddess has been on my wish list for a while now. I don't know why I haven't bought it yet, except perhaps that it just gets bumped by deals-you-can't-refuse or more immediate needs. My most blunt decks tend to be straight RWSs, I suppose because after all these years I know how they talk to me. There's little room for second guessing, iykwim. Besides those, I find the Primoridal Tarot (Tarot of the Origins reissue) quite direct, but then it doesn't have a lot of "fluff" so it "speaks plain". Tarot Balbi is another plain speaker.
❤️👍 For some reason I have resisted getting the Nicolette C deck but I’m rethinking. My Thoth sits languishing! I must pull it out. Plus! You have convinced me. I must get the Literary Witches. The Faeries Oracle and Barbara Walker Tarot are the bluntest I have.
Oh cool! You’re going to love the literary witches oracle deck. Oooooo the faeries oracle looks beautiful, adding it to my wishlist asap. Thanks for writing such a lovely comment, it’s so nice hearing from you. ☺️💖
