I love this deck quite a bit and would love to elaborate upon it multicultural-ness. I read fora wide range of people and I find it challenging at times to read for all of them wi ha deck filled with white folks. Now some decks will go multicultural and have a Celtic scene for one card and then perhaps an Egyptian scene for another but the W.S. takes the next great leap forward by putting the different people together on the same cards. It also has deities that haven't hung out before in art (Quan Yin and Pan fro example) and places them on the same card.
This could have gone rather badly, placing different element stogether like this could have wrecked the deck's ability to have a cohesive message. It could also have led to a feeling that the different deities werent truly being honored, just made a show of for the sake of variety, but that feeling never comes across to me. The deck really carries a feeling of the whole world coming together. I thikn this is hat the Voyager was going for, but in my pinion, never ctualy accomplished.
As has been stated before people of different body types and ages make apearances and thi isnt just done in extremes. The woman on the 2 of pentacles for example has a little bit more meat on her tahn other women in the deck, whereas the World Dancer is beautifuly Reubeneque (spelling?)
