Just about the richest, nicest deck I've ever seen!
I just wanted to thank you all for encouraging me re: how cuddly and multi-faceted this deck is. Going just by the box, I felt a bit wobbly, but *not at all* wobbly when I opened this jewel! I have bad arthritis and usually only like pocket decks, but this deck is *every bit* worth using the "pool" method to shuffle instead : ) It's as if Lover's Path is the *much more sophisticated* form of The Mythic Tarot (despite, yes, it's err or so mixing Greek/Roman mythology from a woman married to and Anthropologist---and normally I wouldn't say that, but being degreed in Anthropology myself with a footing in Psych, were I she, he would have been the first person I'd have run a "culture-check" by : ) But the myths are so similar, I think I'll run with it as an advantage vs a thorn--afterall, how much more depth does it give the story then? : ) )
I've yet to have a reading (sick with pain), but I've already shown them to as many people as I can...they really are so warm and inviting! They should be an honest treat to read (as well as a tarot form of something like a nicoteen patch for the Maat : ) Oooooooo! Those 2 together....fantastic! But what's so lovely about Lover's Path, well, a couple things...it does have a bit of a RWS essence, so easy to get your bearings, plus, it's affordable enough to go out to read this oppulant deck w/o feeling "Oooh! I have to be so careful..." They're *approachable*!
Well, it's off to reading all the entries at the beginning of this thread and the study group! : )
P.S. Does anyone know if the novel "The Lover's Path" (same creator) gives hidden or additional insights into the tarot deck?
P.P.S. The way serendipity works : ) I came in too late to get the deluxe version...what does the carrying bag look like? (Did it come with one?) And are the cards gilded?
Thanks so very much : ) It's such a luxury deck!
