Am I bad or what! Ceccoli Tarot
Wow I almost missed this deck, by minutes, (months actually) but today it was minutes. I was browsing online for all the new decks that come out in the last 13 months, seems I was MIA for that long. Low and behold This deck showed up in the list on chapters website. googled images, I totally dropped dead in love, stopped in my tracks, lost my footing, fell flat on my face. Completely "Swooned" for this deck.
Gorgeous, Gorgeous
I then read a few reviews about this deck. learned it wasn't good for beginners, that it was a light and dark deck, that the images were originally not for a tarot deck, but made to fit, best for just looking at, not a readable deck, unless your an experienced reader, bla bla bla.
I called my local chapters store to see if they had any in store. "Yes", 2 deck were in store. "Sweet, please put one on hold for me, I'm on my way up, to get it, be there in 1 hr ". Got there, purchased it, then checked out the tarot/new age section, noticed the other deck gone. It sold in that 1 hr. Glad I put the deck on hold for me, or it would've been gone as well, maybe.
Got home, settled the dogs, made a cup of coffee, took a deep breathe, closed my eyes, as I held the deck in my hands. Said to myself "Well lets see if what I read is to be true".
I opend the deck, removed the celiphane, the first card "Title Card", the last card " Tarosophy Invite card", Immediately, the word "Victorian" came to my head, the color "Ivory" the ornate designs for the borders, just with that alone, it transported me back in time 14th - 18th century, The feeling of elegance graciousness, and delicate, flowed through me.
I slowly went through the deck one card at a time, I had no problem with any of the cards, as to what the interpretations were, I picked up on each one without a hitch, I also didn't get any of those negative vibes with it either, I found the deck to be neutral, neither bad or good vibes. I didn't find any of the cards to be creepy.
What I noticed and laughed my heart out, with delight, is that Card VIII and Card XI, I'm not mentioning names here, can so totally be named either or. hahahaha lol XI can so be Justice, and VIII can so be strength if you so desire. This is wickedly perfect for my brain and way of seeing things in these to cards. the give away is the house of cards = strength, the jouster spearing the heart, the spade and pierced heart. XI the jouster spearing the creature = Justice, oh these 2 cards so very much the same.
the hermit, love it, what is cool about it, you know those places where there is energy that actually changes your perception, that fools you to be bigger, or smaller. sorry I don't remember what those places are called.
The death card, snow white and the seven dwarves, awesome.
The world card, North pole
2 of pentacles, Multi-tasking, so much so that your head is either going to pop off, here it does. lol love it.
4 of pentacles, oh I so love this card, princess looking down (upright), the greedy green grinch dice looking down (reversed)
7 of Wands, I busted out laughing, omgosh, I used to spank my kids when they were naughty, oh the kicking a screaming, "no mommy I will listen, I promise", this is so perfect for the 7 of wand, the defending child, and the disciplinarian of the parent ( dominant )
sorry I can go on and on with every card, there is not 1 card I don't like, I love them all, gorgeous, gorgeous.
here is to another deck, where you have your wish of loving every card in the deck.
and By the way I feel this deck is better suited for a beginner, the RWS is by far more complex, with all the symbolism in each card. This deck is more simplistic, which IMO is good for a beginner.
