Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and have been enjoying reading about your favorite and not-so-favorite decks! Anyway I recently bought the Deva tarot because I fell in love with the colors used.
The minor arcana follows the Thoth deck closely in concept but the artwork is more casual and the colors are brighter, lighter, softer, more "new age". I love the Thoth deck but the colors in the Deva deck make my heart sing. The major arcana is more traditional than the Thoth and does not present all the detailed Crowley symbolism.
This is not a "naughty" or "erotic" deck but most of the figures are topless or nearly naked. Moreover their body language expresses a very upfront sensuality. This may not be for everyone.
There is an extra suite, to represent the element of spirit. The interpretations use basic concepts about spiritual evolution, but I think each user will probably interpret these based on their own path.
Anyway, I am really enjoying these cards. Because they rely on expressive color more than on detail I find them stimulating to the intuition. They have a certain lightheartedness, and I don't take them as seriously the Thoth deck. Does anyone else here use these? Seen them and hated them? Just curious!
