So, many of us have owned our copies for a while, now, and for mostf of us it's not a first deck, so we have some Tarot knowledge to build on.
How are we finding our deck is settling into our lives, our readings, even our collections?
Does it like or dislike being near certain other decks, or being used on the same days? Those of us who have face to face clients, what do people think of it, and has it attracted people you really wouldn't have thought would like it? does it work better or worse for different kinds of readings?
Mine, I love dearly: I made a lot of noise when I first bought it to people will be aware I thought very highly of it. It is often the case a deck will start off really well with me, then subside a little even though I still like it; but this one, whilst it isn't my "top one", is certainly in my top three, possibly two, of all time. I find I don't use it every day or every week, but every time I pull it out, it's out for longer than other decks will be, and I come back to it with relief and joy. I find it's happy to be a "workhorse" deck and to throw readings about everyday stuff - then it'll switch and go into Mystical Overdrive in an instant.
The oddest two people it attracted were a gay artist, a local here, who can't sell his work and is fascinated with fairies (the Beatrice Potter kind, with the wings and glitter and nose jobs). He offered to buy me a fairy deck to use with him at one stage - then he saw the Quantum, and hasn't even mentioned sparkles or translucent dresses or lipgloss since. The other was an elderly Peruvian woman (I don't know how old she is, but her younger daughter is 71), very superstitious, very old-fashioned. Expected her to go for the RW, if not the actual Visconti - both were on offer that day. Instead, she went straight to the Quantum, and it did what she needed in the reading perfectly well. Just goes to show - I shouldn't be so judgemental.
And a last question, this one aimed at Kay and Chris next time they show up: now that time has passed, how do you personally feel about your creation? In the light of hindsight would you have done anything differently? It must be a dilemma to have created more than one deck: is the Quantum among your reading-decks, or your only reading deck, or just past history for you?
