That is an interesting deck! I like the Majors. The Minors are a bit much for me. The King of Wands is a real eye-opener! :D

Yes interesting indeed! A bit too 'visual' for me. The two of swords and the piercings finished me off! I quite like the Majors though.

Not a deck for me, but I have no doubt there will be plenty of people who will like it.

This one could be hugely popular, especially among the people that like dark decks; fanfic followers would probably like it, too. I hope that she's trying to publish it.

Interesting, but a bit too freaky for my liking. The Lovers...*freaks out* I do like most of the court cards, though more for their photographic value than readability :P

Oooo...
I like the Majors: The Empress is stunning, and I like the Lovers card (is that two heads?!).
I think that some of the artwork on the minors is quite disturbing (for instance the Four of Cups), but I suppose that stands in its favour as far as I am concerned. The Two of Cups reminds me of a photograph I saw in the National Portrait Gallery in London... I wonder if that is where the creator got the idea for that particular card.
And at last, some cards with lovely semi-naked men in them. LOL. Only kidding ofcourse...

Some of the majors are pretty stunning.
The minors though, I'm not so sure about. I feel that symbolism and deep meanings have been neglected for simple photography in some cards. And there's a bit too much nudity for my tastes in a deck.

An interesting deck but not to my taste, much too graphic.

I like this deck a whole lot! Thanks earthdance, for the link!
I really like the Majors! It's interesting how a deck can be both haunting and humorous at the same time!
And the minors are very interesting...there are some great striking images! I love the entire suit of wands...and some of the cups are hilarious!
I think this is one of those that will go on my wish list ,as I appreciate beautiful freaky things!
ah...but whydo I feel that when it is published that it will be way out of my price range?

Very interesting!
I also love the Majors....some of the other cards are a bit too "graphic" for me...but then again, it is an original work to say the least! I also hope she publishes it...even if it doesn't completely work for me, I have to admit that this is a unique and refreshing interpretation...
I think there are many who would like it!

Some of it's downright creapy. Not for me either, I can't see working with the deck in public unless you're at one of those sex toy conventions or something. (Was that train going IN or coming OUT of that King of Wands?).

I really liked this. It kind of reminds me of my bosch deck.
The images hit you hard and appear to have definite messages they are trying to get across in a direct, no nonsense manner. It would be a great deck to study and find out more about imho.
The only thing that I personally didn't like was that the card backs are not reversible.

This deck struck me as being more derivative, garish and sometimes juvenile. The King of Wands; there is a difference between making a joke and being a joke!
This is why I don't own a whole lot of decks. Not that many are well done but I suppose that creating a deck is a kind of therapy for one.
