I started today with the Star of Discovery, using the Tarot of the Secret Forest. I really wanted to use the Minor Arcana for this, as I work better with the Minors in general, and the ones in this deck are so absolutely beautiful, and emotive, and evoke a whole atmosphere and world that I just want to immerse myself into. The Majors, by contrast, are a bit less imaginative, though they're still beautiful and have their own charm and quirky symbolism.
This deck has a singular quirk, as well - for those who don't have it, it has two different images on each card, one on the front and one on the back. The "back" is a monochromatic version of the "front", which makes it at the same time more complicated and more eloquent to read with. I decided from the word go that I'd use both sides of the deck, and it's really panned out for me, though, of course, I am sure I have much to learn about this particular approach. But I love it, very very much.
