Glass Owl
I just received this deck in the mail and my first impression of it was surprise. I totally agree, it does speak another language. It is feels like it perhaps touches upon something that I understood or pondered as a child but have forgotten.It's a gorgeous deck,and it *talks*! I am sure you shall all get on with it - it speaks the language of the soul, you see...
It's definitely a deck that I want to just enjoy and savor, and spend lots of time studying and playing with.
I have been browsing a bit through the book and I really am enjoying how Barbara Moore is explaining those things. To be honest, I would be totally lost without the book, which is a gem.I finally got this deck, and I absolutely love it! The description for the deck is correct in saying that it doesn't rely on esoteric symbols, rather, it reads more from the standpoint of the elements, the expressions of the fey, the background, the colors... the overall mood and energy. I find that to be very refreshing.
Oh, yes, I totally agree, it has an "earthy" quality, it makes you feel as though you are stepping right into their world.Some of the images may appear simple, but I find them to be very expressive in conveying strong feelings, making for deck that I personally find to be very intuitive. It feels very free to me as well... For example, one thing I like in the book is how Barbara Moore describes how the whole concept of elemental dignities doesn't always need to be so rigid.
The artwork is gorgeous. It's very earthy.
I think that this is definitely a "park" or "outside" deck. (Provided that there is no rain, of course!)
