Hi everyone!:) I wanted to know what do you think about this deck :) This is now the one I use the most in my readings, because I find it very intuitive: it's cards are very sugestive, rich in meaning, colourful and are quite objective transmiting info. It's being great to work with it, for myself as a learning process and for my friends to whom I read!:) If also have one (or you know someone who has one) tell me about your relationship with your deck :) I'm looking forward for replies! :P ***Circe***

I'm still trying to get comfortable with mine. I don't use it exclusively yet, because the cards are so different, but I love the deck. My deck is being very patient with me as I try to learn about it.

The Sacred Circle was one of the first decks I got after the RWS, and I could not believe a deck could be so beautiful (ok, I had not seen that many decks then...) I have used it a lot for meditation, there is an atmosphere in the cards that is just quite right for me. For readings, I found all that renaming and renumbering of the majors confusing at first. It was my first deck with no scenes on the minors, but I found that not so difficult to learn as there is so much to go by in the way they are shown: for example the rusty cups in the four, and the "airy" cups in the seven. Then I started to read in the book and I found there is wven much more in the cards: the plants and herbs in the foreground and even the landscape in the background is chosen to fit the meaning of the card. I love those landscapes on the minors: one day I would like to visit them all :)

I can't read that deck and Circe knows that (Hey Circe, hows everything?) The truth is I just started reading my own deck last week, and don't have any experience yet. But I can read (fairly) one or two other decks (mine included) but not that one. But I agree it is really beautiful. Also, I know Circe couldn't read it in the beggining, so maybe it becomes clearer to me later on, when I gain more experience. I know probably this is a post that doesn't add anything interesting but... well, I just wanted to say something (THIS IS MY FIRST POST, YEEEAAHH!!) and say "HELLO!" to Circe. Seeya!

I deeply agree with you, WolfSpirit :) This isn't a deck simple to read at the first glance!But when we get used to it, we discover a handful of meanings!I used to do readings with my Marseilles deck, and Migraine is telling the truth when he says that I was desperate at the first time I tried to work with S.C. I believe it's a matter of persistence and being able to face challenges positively -> not giving up when we face difficulty :) I think this first "unable-to-read" impact happens with all new decks we buy :P But Migraine (as the rest of my friends) helped me to get to the point where I'm now, cause even though I could not read it at the beginning, they insisted me to read until I could! And Migraine, welcome here at the forum!;) *** everyone :P

Sacred Circle was my first tarot deck. I loved it, I have moved onto other decks of late, but I found that deck exceptionally easy to learn, mostly because on the minor arcana had the little keyword on it. This deck will always have a place in my heart.
