male or female? Definitely both!
Hi, I'm fairly new to posting here at Aeclectic and I loved the thread on this beautiful, beautiful deck.
When I first discovered it on the Internet I was entranced by the dark beauty, the artistic style and the colours.
For me, growing up under the influence of the Hammer Horror films with all that black, blue-black and shimmering paleness it really hit the spot right away.
I'm heterosexual and think the guys in the deck look great. I love the women too - I want to dress like they do (although perhaps I should have done that 20 years ago! hahaha).
My partner saw this deck and he reckons it's the best one I have. He loves the colours and the style. As a scuba instructor/diver he felt it was very watery and ethereal.
His mom, who is a psychic, hated the deck on sight and said "oh no, I don't like that - it's evil!" and pushed them away. Normally she's really into Tarot so I've never seen her react like that at all.
Evil? Not to me.
Beautiful, eerie, compelling? Yes.
I also love the Madame Endora cards from Monolith.
So, my view is that it's a deck for guys and gals. I love it and it's been great seeing people's thoughts on it.
Just out of interest . . . are most of us posting on this thread female?
