Eclectic Tarot for me this week.

I don't start until Sunday but I've had my arm twisted to use the Carolyn Myss Archetype Cards. This should be interesting

I'll be back tomorrow with the LS Visconti Tarots.

HazelMoon's Hawaiian Tarot for me.

Kind of 'meh' about this deck, so we'll see...

Vanessa Decort's Sun and Moon Tarot this week.

This is GREAT AJ. I will be reading your blog to find out if you can get something out of these cards. I am wondering how they differ from Chuck Spezzano's deck of Archetypes and Shadows.

I switch on Sunday too, and this week shall be Twilight Realm: A Tarot of Faery.

It has lots of really great cards and some meh cards so I hope it's a week full of evocative ones.

I'll work with the Gilded Tarot this week!

Started this morning with the Visconti Tarots. I've had no luck at all in the past using this deck, and I believe it's because of the pips. I can read with TdM pips now, but the Visconti pips are merely decorative, there is no variation or real symbolism that I can find in them, like I do (now!) in TdM pips.

So I've decided this week to work with just the trumps, the four Aces and the Queen of Coins this week, for "bigger picture" readings. The Aces will represent the general areas that their suits represent (work, creativity and energy for the Wands, emotions and relationships for the Cups, troubles, strife and mental processes for the Swords, and financial and material matters for the Coins). The Queen of Coins, as my significator, I will take as turning the question back to me, in a manner of speaking.

Hopefully readings with this pared down deck will help me give the Visconti a fair shake. I love the history, and the shiny gold blinginess, but I just don't get on with its pips!
