I just received mine today- LOL, my son called me at work today to let me know it arrived, and I wanted to leave early... Boss said no, but he's interested in having a look at the deck that came all the way from Israel, so I have an excuse to bring it along tomorrow
YAY!
The court cards are fabulous! Love them.
After the initial new deck reading - which was quite positive, I pulled some cards for a situation that has been weighing heavily on my heart. The Sakki-Sakki was right on it - in a very gentle, eloquent way that made me smile.
I'll tell you all about it: My 14 yr old son has made the decision to move to his father's house next year. (Another state) He and I have been been thru alot together these last 10 years. His decision has been rough on all of us, but he feels he needs to go, and I feel it's time I let him. My heart is broke, and so's my daughter's. Anyway, I pulled the 8 of Rods, 5 of Cups and the King of Swords. (My X is military) Also the Angel/Judgement and 2 of Swords.
It's kind of like this: Lalala..going about a busy life, cruisin' along. Then the news. Loss, grief...ouch. (This card actually told me to go back inside the house and stop dwelling negatively on what I cannot change, what has to be - I can't just stand here pointing to the spilled cups/wound forever - Cripes, there's work to do! Move!) And then the King of Swords. Carefully contemplating this card helped me realize that he's not such a bad man. Not at all, really. He will teach my son discipline, structure - and most importantly, how to be a man. K of S will do the right thing, it's his "thing". Angel/Judgement - it is time for my boy to move on to his next phase- the angel face gives me hope that he will be watched over, even when my own eyes can't see him. And of course, the 2 of Swords - the year delay before his move.
Anyway - I know that was quite personal. What I'm trying to say is this - Sakki-Sakki may appear to be just a light-hearted and fun deck (and it is
), but there is depth and sensitivity to it as well.
Thanks for reading,
