Have you ever had a deck that just sat around for a while, then suddenly called out to you?? Well-- I've had the Etruscan for about as long as it's been out. When I first got it, I went through it a few times. Then put it away-- it didn't quite click with me at the time. In fact, I offered it up for trade a few times. About a week ago, for no reason at all (ha!!!) I took it out and started shuffling it. It fit real well in my hands and glided along beautifully. I found the process of shuffling this deck took me right into a meditation state... The next day I decided to try reading with it. I started shuffling, framing my question... As I shuffled, two cards popped out-- absolutely the answer to my questioning. This has continued. I shuffle, frame a question and cards pop out of the deck. Not all at once-- usually singles and pairs, and as many as seven. Then I'll get a little jolt that tells me the reading is ready and I stop the shuffling. It's been dead on every time. Shuffling without questions still drops me into a state of meditation. It's a deeper and more peaceful state than I've attained by any other method. Anyone else have any similar experiences?? fly well Raven

I've been working on warming up to this particular deck. I have been getting into the mythology and culture of the ancient world quite a but lately (college classes, cheesey 70's movies, literature, even food). It's taking me time to get used to the style of the deck, but I think it will come in time. n the beginning I was miffed about not having any divinatory insights in the LWB, just a description of te scene. I'm sure I will get over this minor point when I build familiartity.

This is one I've had my eye on for a while. I don't own it but it has been calling to me. I look at the scans and say "eh". It doesn't look like anything I'd particularly like but I have a tough time shaking it. I've got 13 decks and I don't need anymore. I keep telling myself that. Woof

You can never have enough decks.
