I think they made this one pretty simple, I loved mine, paid a pretty penny. But well worth it. I love how they changed some of the cards for this deck because the rider waite system was typically based on what I've always thought to be Christianity based by pixie's background. I mean it's what I see and feel within the deck she made by her artwork. But on the other hand, love this deck by Ellen Dugan.
Nicely presented - Thanks. The deck has colourful and appealing imagery especially for earthy based wicca types. There is a close relationship with the Rider-Waite symbology, with some exception that mostly relates to gender types for some specific cards - the Nine of Wands for instance. But I really like some of the cards - the Five of Wands seems to really capture the powerful and challenging interactions of fire based energy. Also the swiftness of the Eight of Wands really comes alive for me as well. The back of the deck is not the same when upright or upside down. This can be troublesome when picking cards from a sprawled out deck when you do not want to know whether the card will be in a reversed or upright position. But I like the deck overall. Just picked it up in the shop yesterday and quite happy to include it with my decks. I think it can be used well for readings and generally a much better Rider-Waite adaption than many or most out there.
Thank you so much for your comment! I love different decks like this. I love the colors, details, story, etc. I personally need detailed cards to really understand them and I find that this deck is very helpful. The book is also very detailed which I appreciate. I hope you connect to this deck and enjoy it!
I just got this deck today... I have a feeling it does not like me just yet😂 It’s very stubborn; I’m not sure why, but it kept on resisting me. Is that normal?
It can be! You need to get used to the deck. Some decks you have a connection with immediately and some you need to build with. Yes, you may have absolutely no connection with some decks but don't give up. You Should sleep with the deck at night under your pillow and work with it as much as you can. Good luck 😁
