OK, had the packet for a hour or so. I ripped open the parcel when I got in from work, picked out the cards and the book..
The artwork - stunning, totally amazing and stunning. The energy and emotion of the cards just leaps at me. Im not a massive horse lover, horse in a physical creature and a spiritual one that I have A LOT of issues with, and yet I was nearly in tears at the sense of connection with the artwork. One even made me laugh!
And I love the card backs, the yin/yang of the horses heads! Fantastic stuff.
Book - I was STUNNED that the set was partly inspired by the reading of Frouds Faeries and picking up Epona's Wild Daughter. I see that it was mentioned on this thread years ago by Jewel, but, I must have completely forgotten about that, as I probably would have bought it much sooner (Froud lover that I am). I've only read the introduction but I can see this deck being as healing, playful and as evocative as the Frouds Faeries. Just amazing.
The writer and artist both have a very deep spiritual, emotional and physical connection with horses, who are open to how their psychology is different to ours, yet together we can learn to appreciate the lessons and values that each way has to offer us.
Totally blown away by this set, and I will continue to be this evening as I read more and play with the cards more!
