Decks we Hate!!

[@elineeugenie5224]

I used to *hate anything RWS... But I've really grown into them. Looking back, i can see at least in part, where my feeling came from: i had no stability in my life, no real support and i didn't know how to connect to any of those needs. As my awareness has grown, fondness for this style becomes possible. I saw the value, from a distance, and it's easier now😊. Ty Ana !

I have also found this be true. I really enjoyed your video. I’ve similarly,outgrown decks that I once connected with, imagery will no longer mean what they once did for me. This tells me (usually) that I need to re-home them when I notice this. A wonderful cycle.

Well said! That’s pretty much my approach too❤

I started with Oracle decks and wasn't sure I wanted to venture into Tarot, as I did not like that 'gaudy' bright yellow of the original RWS and was at first, very overwhelmed and confused with Tarot, but the more I studied the history of the RWS and the symbols in each card, I have learned to appreciate the original RWS (including that gaudy yellow - as a yellow sky has a profound message) and Pamela Coleman Smith's artistic illustrations. She was an extraordinary and creative woman, way beyond her times. Sometimes I do wonder if she is 'spiritually' inspiring today's Tarot artists.

I love the RWS system, I still use Pamela’s deck ☺️

Merci Ana, c'est très intéressant ! J'ai tendance à acheter puis ne garder que les jeux qui me plaisent et ne me mettent pas mal à l'aise. Par exemple, j'ai revendu le hush tarot alors que j'aime l'art mais je trouve son ambiance trop glauque. Vous me donnez l'envie d'essayer déjà de ressentir ce qui me gène avec des cartes qui me plaisent moins sur certains de mes jeux. Là je veux revendre le pagan tarot car j'y vois de l'emprise autour de la jeune femme. Je vais étudier ça ! Merci beaucoup et beau dimanche à vous ! 😊 Ps: je me suis permise de faire et je vais faire des vidéos sur vos jeux car j'aime beaucoup votre art et ce que vous transmettez! 🙏💗

[@anatourian8084]

Definitely! I agree with rehomeing them after. And thank you! Looking forward to your take

“The most difficult people that come into our lives are often the ones that have the most to teach us. They reflect back to us what we need to work on and ultimately where we need to grow to experience a more healthy life…” I think of this when I pick up a deck that triggers me or cards I hate. That said, I wonder why I dislike cards with eyes and hidden faces - on branches, the sky, water, …

[@anatourian8084]

Hmm that is interesting. I always liked the hidden faces that pop up randomly in nature. But some can indeed be kinda weird😅

[@the_hermits_cave]

Very thought provoking, Ana. It’s given me a lot to ponder on. Does this mean I need to dig out that old Thoth deck? 😉

[@anatourian8084]

😄 I mean I’m not a Thoth girl. The entire system throws me off. I’m thinking more in the lines of, the decks that are in your preferred system. So for me, it would be RWS. ☺️

[@QueenOfShovels]

Agree! I've definitely developed a better understanding of both deck preferences and relationship preferences since experiencing some.......less appealing connections!😂

[@anatourian8084]

😂Right?! Even though we don’t see it at the time and it’s quite annoying

[@QueenOfShovels]

Yes!!! We can be "red flag blind"! 😎🤣
