Without going crazy with trying to be inclusive, there are many places where it could have been appropriate to depict older women.
- The six of stones shows an older man with a young girl. This could be his daughter, but could easily have been an woman the same age as a man, to show the suffering of exploitation.
- Eight of Bows shows a hearthfire with several men, and only one young woman: could have shown women of similar ages to the men.
- Greenwoman and 7 of stones: I always thought of the Greenwoman as being a fertile older mama type
- there are 4 cards that depict men, but not necessarily male energy that could have been women
- THE KILLER FOR ME FOR THIS DECK: There are 13 cards that show young women that could easily and in some cases more appropriately depicted an older woman (30+ yrs) or a crone. This is not to say that young women can't be powerful, but it shows a limited and limiting vision (Hi Mi'Shell
) of the whole by making less appealing women invisible. For a young woman, this would not be a very rosy future to look to.
This deck purports to me a tool of personal development, with a very global view, but for me it fails. I don't know if it's going to be a usable deck for me.
