Tarot of the Trance
The creator of this deck states that this deck was created during a trance state and that she encountered and entire submerged world of forms and figures. Personally, I think the figures should remain submerged. That's actually too harsh. I should just say that this deck is not for me. I find it much too busy, and most of the symbolism is in a language I just dont get. Looking at the cards reminds me of how I feel when I go to a museum annd try to decifer abstract or impressionist art. You can actually see the giant question mark over my head. This deck just might be very good ... I don't know. I get the same feeling looking at something by Dali or Picasso, and their work is supposed to be good.
The deck follows the Rider Waite style in order and naming. The cards measure about 3 by 5 inches, which is very large for me. The stock is durable, but not too thick. I suspect they will stand up to frequent use quite well.
I recommend this deck for those who love Dali and Picasso! Beginners will find it too difficult to decode, as may intermediate readers. Collectors will find it an interesting addition, though.
