Summary: A Lovely Deck Really.
Review: This deck is really focused on the concerns of young women. Although you can read for young men with it as well. The Images are very color full. The Ladies Lovely and the Gents quite handsome. There is a lot of unapologetic "wish craft" going on in this deck. The conventions of the Waite deck have been basically tossed out, and the artist has taken the maximum creative license with the images and themes. She is however quite talented, and it is no great challenge to read a spread intuitively from her well drawn images. Which is just as well as the LWB is all but worthless. The deck is a wonderful exercise in comparative Tarot. Older/ more experienced readers will discover challenging new visions of various cards. Also beautiful interps of familiar themes. The 6 of Broomsticks (Swords) is my personal favorite presentation of that theme. The courts have been changed radically. The Pages are the Celebrations, the Knights the Moons, the Queens the Goddesses, and The Kings have been replaced with the Trials. I think the Kings are the Artists greatest coup. Laura has really captured the Shadow side of the benevolent Patriarch depicted in other decks. After working with this deck you will never see the Kings Rx quite the same again. This deck looks like a light weight at first glance, but its not. Its actually a beautifully realized, if very personal vision of the Tarot.
