Ah, the parrot.
I know the people who produced the parrot. Some years later the creator of the parrot was still mad at the artist (very loose term) of the parrot. It was certainly not what he had in mind, but how do you derail your own dear 90 year old mother who thinks she can draw, and doesn't understand esoteric tarot or the symbolism thereof? And how do you write a companion book for a deck that wasn't what you had in mind, and you're really not certain why she stuck a parrot on every card (let alone most of the other random stuff) except that your mutual last name is parrot. Maybe it's her signature? Maybe she's not firing on all 8 any more? Whattaya gonna say? Mostly you're going to be silently, steaming mad.
Last time I saw him, he still was. And he hated his name being on it. I don't think he ever took it up with her.
So, children, the thing about this deck is really not the bad art and strange additions and mentor cards, those are just extra added non-attractions....the bottom line is that it's a monument to bad communication and suffering in silence.
You wanna read with that?
don't listen to that, I'm weird)
