Has anyone ever given a reading and had the reading go really well but the client hated the deck used? If so what was it that the client hated? nudity, violence, the colors, or something else?

Back when all I had was R/W/S everyone flipped over naked people. Oooo! Naked people! And no one who knows me likes my dragon tarot deck because all it ever gives is bad news, even if its a good reading. Come to think of it I haven't read with it in a while.

I have a good friend who frequently (about once a month) asks me for a session of readings, which have lasted up to 2&1/2 hours. the first time I read for her I used the Thoth deck and thoguh fascinated by the reading was creeps out by the deck. So I started often using the Robin Wood when reading for her. After a few sessions with the Robin Wood I used the Buckland Roamni. Once the Lovers card came up and she was little freaked (they're naked and embracing but you don't see any "anatomy" other then part of the guy's butt crack). I thought this was ironic, as I am quite certain the Lovers card came up once or twice when I read for her with the Robin Wood. Guess she just wasn't paying much attention that time.

Every time I read for one of my friends, you can tell he's sitting there just wishing my Robin Wood would disappear and be replaced by a decent Thoth deck! :D But he knows I'm most familiar with the Robin Wood, and that in my head I have the images of the Thoth deck floating around when I'm reading, along with other card images from other decks, so whilst he doesn't like the Robin Wood, he does like my readings. :D Kiama
