Dark Victory '39
As we're rounding out 2015, what's your thoughts on a deck you've now had for roughly just one year?
I got the Antiquarian tarot last year at the holidays, (i'm a month off as it was christmas). It was a love at first sight deck, and one of the few that i decided to read for others right off the bat w/out even taking the time to look through all the cards, and my readings were good, and surprisingly comfortable. Have my thoughts changed? No, i still love the deck. It's one of those that i went through an intense 3 month love affair w/ and used only it, and then as the year progressed used less, but still used fairly often-- so it has passed the novelty mark. I probably have a more paired down style of working w/ it now. It's one of my few decks that works well for me w/ larger (8 plus) card spreads. I feel i can take in the overview quickly. I wonder how much of this is because of the lovely differing hues of suit borders. Anyway it's a keeper, and others i read for seem to be receptive to it. I would not describe it as an even remotely sentimental deck, as maybe some people would think of w/ sepia old time photographs it would be. I find it oddly kind of modern and fresh.
Anyway, and you? A deck you've had for a year, what are your feelings now?
