HearthCricket
Have you ever seen the movie, The Red Violin? If so, you know what I am referring to. The older woman who reads the tarot cards and her beloved deck. Old, worn, grimy, used for who knows how many years or decades, how many readings she has done with it, for how many people. Do you ever wonder what will happen to your decks?
What deck would you like to hand down from you to another, be it a family member or a stranger? To be worn and read from and passed on and still exist 100+ years from now? To be discovered in an old wooden box, wrapped up in silk, perhaps with a poem, dedication or letter to the receiver, written in your hand, long, long ago?
I have mine narrowed down to four. Still working on it:
Victorian Romantic Gold-I can just see this aging beautifully! It expresses my personality, so well, and what a discovery it would be! Belongs in a beautiful locked box...key on a golden antique chain, hidden in Great, Great, Great Aunt HearthCricket's jewelry box....
Golden Tarot-Another lovely deck, but not sure about the heavy cardboard. Still...what a nice antique look to it.
Tarot of Dreams-So breathtaking, almost prefer to hand down the satin finish one as that will be even more rare!
Medieval Enchantment-Another favourite one for me to use and love the artwork and size of the cards. I became so hooked on this, last spring, and worked with it for quite a while. It is beloved. This could be the one...
What about you? Will one of your beloved decks become a legend of you?
