Our Touchstone Tarot arrived today; the deck is just breathtaking. I was so eager to have a looksee that I opened the package right in the car, while sitting in front of the post office. It's funny how some cards which have never been especially appealing to me, in the past, can be seen in a new light through the artist's vision. The Ace of Swords, for instance, has always been a card that I've found rather uninspiring (at least in the RWS), but THIS Ace of Swords is just stunning and fierce looking. It would lend a little welcome excitement to any reading. The expressions of the characters in the Touchstone are especially haunting. It's impossible not to study the face or faces portrayed in each card. They truly appear to know things.
Aside from the deck's beauty, it feels quite readable for those of us who are RWS oriented, so it is a perfect balance of form and function.
Unfortunately, I did not receive a signed and numbered card! Eek! I'm hoping to get this all squared away, soon. As it stands, I'm more than thrilled with the deck and all the goodies that came with it.
Thank you Kat, Leisa, Kat's mom, the anonymous benefactor, and everyone who made it possible for us to get our greedy little hands on this lovely work of art before 2009. Your hard work is sincerely appreciated (and admired).
