LET'S TALK DETAILS!
I love the bits of whimsy.
That great Fool, that looks so old school....stepping on a BANANA PEEL!
It isn't something that screams at you, but some of the details I find so fun, others enchanting.
The Tower almost has an Escher feel.
Love the DEATH card and what is behind the green curtain?
The Devil has elements of Dali to me, and that helps make what would normally not be a Devil card I would like, one I like more, but this whole deck just goes together for me.
The MOON card, eerily dreamy and love the detail of the reflection in the pond.
The Two of PENTS standing on a top while juggling.
Yes, some have surreal elements, but really aside from some quirky bits here and there, I find it very RWS-readable. It's like an old deck I would see in a dream and the odd thing shows up here and there.
The EIGHT of WANDS I really like with the butterflies and caterpillars.
I'm an Air sign and just happen to love the Swords suit (which I see as an air element, I know some see as fire). I love how the Water Bearer, my astro sign, shows up.
And butterflies make an appearance quite a bit in the Swords. Even the odd flying objects I find cool as they are in...the air.
NOT a card that is a dealbreaker for me (altho I DID watch youtube reviews before ordering so knew what I was getting). Of course we all like some cards in a deck MORE than others, but THIS IS SO A KEEPER FOR ME!
