I agree with you about modern nirvana oracle..for me, keywords are part of my practice and maybe this is something of a me thing that needs tweaking (or not) but once I look through a deck and if there’s keywords, they stick with me. I’ve modded a good bit of decks mainly sizing them down, rounding corners and edging, etc. But… if I purchase an oracle with specific keywords tied to the card image, I just feel like why would I purchase them, cut them up, which makes the meanings inconsistent, to be left with really pretty cards, sure, but I need more than that. I hope I’m making sense lol. At that point I’d just rather spend my time printing my own cards and keywords which would probably be about the same as modding the dang deck (got to measure each card, guillotine them keywords, probably f+ck up a lot lol.) That deck is really gorgeous, but boat? Really? 🤔 are they pre k 3 flash cards or an oracle tool used for divination? I’ll stop, lol I don’t want to come off too harsh because again the images are so nice but to spend money on a deck just to chop it up makes me feel like it’s losing the essence of what the creator intended on them being-which is why I collect, I love having different decks with different energy & intent. K I’m done rambling, I just had a cup of coffee so yeah.
I had the Angeliarium deck and couldn't get on with it. I found the dark figures in it too overpoweringly powerful and alienesque to me...just plain creepy. They are very well rendered, ...but still...creepy. I also have the Metamorphoses du Jour. I love J.J, Grandville's imagery. I don't care for the back designs or the size of the cards and somehow I never bring myself to draw it off the shelves and use it. It feels more of a collectable children's story book than a reader. I bought this one over the other deck because it has my favorite Grandville image in it and the other one doesn't. I think it's the Moon card(?) depicting a mourning dove in nightdress holding a candlestick. That square deck looks interesting. I tend not to use oracle decks. I love that you too like unusual decks and Majors Only decks! Yay! I think Majors are underrated.
Majors a very underrated and can be used in so many different ways. I followed someone name Bonnie_Mitchell on Tik Tok (I don’t have TT anymore) and she did this really awesome spread that used all the majors. I wish I had saved it somewhere.
Hello 👋🏼 I was wondering, if you are selling your decks that you were showing here!? I’m interested in couple of decks that you are getting rid of! 💓💓💓 Thank you in advance 🥰
