...Wow, thank you for posting this...I am not much into Oracles...I just read with the Tarot...but this decks looks fun...also I reminds, very much so of the
Tarot of the Zirkus Magi & little bit of
Legrande Circus & Sideshow Tarot....both decks I have & love
Thanks for posting those links to other decks. [emoji4]
Its reminded me that I HATE circuses that have animals in them as entertainment. Circus animals are starved of food and water so they don't 'spoil in the ring', and are beaten, restrained and tortured to 'train' them to do tricks and things for entertainment and money.
In Divine Circus Oracle there are no animals depicted for circus entertainment. There is a picture of a tiger but that is symbolising the 'tiger within you' sort of thing. The artwork is beautiful and people orientated. I love it!
There is such a feeling I get from this deck, and the PEOPLE-side of circuses. A bunch of "misfits and outsiders" that each have their own story, coming together to participate in entertainment to earn a living. I can't really describe it as well as I feel it though! [emoji4]
I understand the place of the images of animals in the 2 vintage looking decks that you listed. Animals in circuses was such the norm. I don't know how many animal-free circuses even exist today? It will take a while before the majority of people are aware of the cruelty of animals in circuses, and the practice gets banned. Unfortunately its a fight against money as well.
And when artwork and media normalises the practice of animals for entertainment, overlooking and turning a 'blind eye' to the cruelty and misery that lies behind the scenes, most people have less chance of becoming aware of the situation.
I'll take my thoughts on the 78 Tarot Carnival over to the 78 Tarot Carnival thread. I'm sorry if I strayed a little off topic here! [emoji4]
