Would you say this has the same feel as the Fountain Tarot? They remind me of each other for some reason....
No not exactly. The Starchild Tarot is feminine-centered with female Knights (not all of them though), Lovers, Hermit etc. while the Fountain Tarot is pretty traditional in its gendering.I almost started a thread to ask the same thing I can only afford one indie deck at the moment but I just can't decide between this two!
The Starchild Tarot has a new-age-feeling to it, with lots of crystals and cosmic clouds. The Fountain Tarot's backgrounds are very minimalistic. It feels very light and wise but not new -agey.
The Starchild has negative aspects tuned down with Transformation and Oppression for Death and Devil, while the Fountain Tarot does not exclude scary images - without losing this inner light though.
Finally, the Fountain to me feels more mature than the Starchild. But this is a very subjective feeling I can't specify further. The Fountain feels more mature and enlightened than most other decks. For me it's up there with the Thoth, Mary-El, RWS, Tarot of the Spirit and Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery. A deck thats artwork alone gets me into a meditative state of mind.
I hope this helps with your decisions? They are both great decks btw. If you can't decide, buy one of them, save enough money and then go for the other! (As I did - and I don't want to miss one of them) [emoji1]
