This deck is created by a woman for women in order for us to tune into our inner wisdom, our Athena, our personal goddess, our Gaia, our god and bring forth guidance that is unique to us.
The deck has a matte finish and a nice feel that is easy to shuffle even for the small-handed woman. I have a few decks that are so huge that I have never been able to normally shuffle them and thus feel like I am not getting a good mix of cards when I start the reading. You don’t have that problem with these. The individual cards are quite bendy, so try to not over do the professional type shuffles. You may bend your cards out of shape too quickly.
I don’t find I get a lot of jumping cards with matte decks and I like to use jumping cards to reflect the current stirring energy around the situation. That is my own pet peeve with matte decks. No jumping cards. Kinda makes me sad sometimes, as if the spirit really isn’t moving in the reading.
The back of the card has a nice sky blue background featuring a single daisy. Cute and it doesn’t give away reversals underneath like some cards do with directional prints on the back. I like being surprised by reversals. I find myself trying to right the card if I realize it is upside down before I turn it over.
The names of the suits are different in this deck and although a lot of people like the unique names, I am a traditionalist, I guess. I like the card name to be the card name. I feel like I need a cheat sheet with decks like this in order to remember what each suit is called. I don’t mind seasons or elements. Those are easy to figure. But the names on this deck aren’t bad. I can figure it out. The majors may be the most difficult for me. Here is how they break down:
Create (Wands)
Feel (Cups)
Think (Swords)
Earth (Pentacles)
The court cards may throw you a bit since a Queen isn’t a queen here. A Queen is instead a King, a Queen is a Boss, the Knight a Teen and the Page a Child. I have to admit that the court cards in any deck are a challenge for me. I don’t tend to read them as specific people but instead situations relevant to the person being read for. I guess I am weird that way.
The deck comes in a sturdy box that is lavender and very 70’s. The deck is very groovy in that Brady Bunch way and leaves you with a good feeling. Some decks feel funny to me energetically but not this one. I like it. It is a feel good deck made by a lady who just wants us to have fun while we are imparting our intuitive wisdom.
Overall great deck. I wish they had traditional naming conventions but that won’t stop me from using them.
Hope your tarot readings are groovy, man!
