I’ve heard many mixed reviews, which kind of surprised me because this deck is truly one of my absolute favorites! I am much like you, while I think RWS serves it’s purpose, I can’t seem to connect to it intuitively, and I’m rather new to Tarot. A good reason why I love, love, love the artwork in this deck. There really is so much you can depict from any one card intuitively, and of course there is tons of information in the guidebook there for one as well. I like that this deck has just a bit of darker aesthetic to it, so I personally like to use this deck for Shadow work as well. It’s just an all around amazing deck! I also have the Muse Tarot, which is Chris Anne’s newer deck and I love that deck too, the artwork is stunning, and again a lot to read from it!
