Turning Over a New Deck
I'm going to be using tarot in a consultation this morning, so I got out my beloved Robin Wood deck (the source of my former default userpic), and started dividing it into Major Arcana and suits to be sure I hadn't pulled one for meditation and forgotten to put it back.
As each card fell, I realized it looked faded and stale.
The once-vibrant images that have spoken so clearly to me over the years aren't going to work now. Not like before.
So I went upstairs to my tarot stash and started looking through the decks I've collected to see if any of them are speaking to me in a new way.
The Osho deck (not actually a "tarot") wanted to come downstairs. It may be the one I use this morning with my friend. It's an "outside the box" kind of oracle.
The Gilded Tarot has stepped forward to be my new default deck. It has gorgeous images that suggest the traditional Rider-Waite, but are fresher and more vibrant to my eyes. I'll have to actually work with it to see if there's an authentic connection, but right now it feels better than the Robin Wood.
I may have to find a sample of the Druidcraft Tarot (the source of the lovely Queen of Cups in the previous entry) and look through it to see if it will work.
Or. . . It may finally be time to create my own deck.
My skins just keep shedding. . .
