OKies did the review as promised, wrote up the post (a very detailed one!) then lost it ~grrrrrrrrr~ so here it is in short. Lee was absolutly correct about their being a few a disturbing images, although the images on the cards themselves seemed no worse to me than the 9 or 10 of swords in the RW deck. The 5 cards I found disturbing in the Symbolon deck were:
1) Abortion - shows a matronly looking woman covered from head to toe tossing a baby into a fire.
2) Castigation - a woman wrapped in a sheet whipping herself on her bear back with a whip that had several leather strands with pieces of glass on the ends. Her back is bleeding.
3) Black Mass - a group of individuals robed in black cloacks around an altar with an upside down cross above them.
4) Fear - woman running out of a graveyard with her arms up, she looks frightened and possibly a nun? There is a robed figure standing in the graveyard. Lots of crosses.
5) The Furies - Medusa is projecting snakes like bolts of lightening at a young man that looks paranoid.
Now with the descriptions out of the way, I want to say that the LWB presents a summary of each card (which I included in the post I lost), presents the problem represented by the card, presents a way through the problem, and finally a conclusion.
If you want additional detail on specific cards please let me know. I still find this deck beautiful and really enjoyed going through it last night.
Love & Light,
