I'm sure many of us have decks we really like, well, except for a few cards. C
Cards that we wish if they couldn't be different, we could at least have been offered an alternative (which deck designers sometimes do if they have done a card a little ...different...than we are used to seeing in a Lenormand deck).
For ME, a big part of the beauty of Lenormand is the ease in which one sees AN image, one of the 36 BASIC IMAGES. In can be done in different artistic ways, but I just want it really visible.
**This thread is not to knock a deck, just saying WHICH cards, in a deck we otherwise like, we wish we could have had the image clearer OR had an alternate to choose from.**
One of mine is the UNDER THE ROSES. Overall, I quite like the deck. There are many cards easily seen and nicely done.
HOWEVER, cards I would have at least liked a more conventional and/or more easily SEEN image, OR an alternative are:
The SNAKE....I see the WOMAN first. If the SNAKE would have caught my eye more, that would have helped.
The WHIP (or the WHIP/BROOM)....I often get the WHIP or WHIP/BROOM as negative behavior repeating, not what looks like a dominatrix in recreational role play...I'm not offended at all by the card, it's just that it doesn't really convey the traditional image for me
The RING ...I see the ROSE so front and center and the RING is there, but a small part of the image. It's like the ROSE is supposed to be the center focus.
The SICKLE....I don't dislike this card, I just wish the SICKLE were more visible, it so blends into the coloring of the background. With Lenormand, I want it clear.
The JOURNAL...again, I don't dislike this card, but with the coloring, the size in the frame, it's not as focal as I would wish. I also don't see why it was changed from the BOOK.
The KEY....SAME think, I don't mind the image at all, it's just with the coloring, the KEY SO BLENDS into the background.
Renaming the HEART, the LOCKET, just didn't enhance the card or it's meaning to me either.
This was one of those decks I like the style, the coloring, I just think some of the cards could have been clearer and that would have made it more pleasing for me. I don't like cards being renamed. JUST MY personal preferences....SO I don't dislike this deck, on the contrary, I just would have liked it a lot more without the aforementioned images.
