firemaiden
Looking through the table of contents I can see that I am not fond at all of the suit of swords (feathers) except for the ace (which is a beautiful bright peacock feather), the snowy four, and the dreamy two.
I did most of the cups right away, indeed I adore these sky and seascapes, in particular the surging equine waves of the six, the pearl of the nine, the calming waves of the ten, and the lotus ace, (though I can hardly abide the stripey jaggedy ethnicky cups courts).
I adore also most of the wands (flames) especially the princess! and the ten, with its doves. I like the big cats and the colour of fire in this suit.
I am not that thrilled with the muddy suit of coins and all those foot-prints, (not big on mud colours) except for the eight with the beautiful gold-leaf leaf. (hahah) (But I like them better than the swords).
As for the Majors, I think the Empress card with its gaping vagina dentata is the most hideous thing I have ever seen. But I simply love the Star, Death, the Chariot, the Hanged Man, Temperance, and the Fool.
Looking over the whole deck, I find I by far perfer the painted images to the collaged ones, and that I don't actually love the artwork so much as I love studying the artwork, and deciphering the text and its relation to the artwork. I find her text very difficult to understand, as though she writes in riddles.
What do you like about the deck so far, and dislike? Are you getting anything out of these threads? How do you like her text?
