Well, I would like to present you, my partner to-be in my tarot readings..though she's still a little extra busy with her work all the time~but anyhow, here I present all of you, Cheryl~! We've been discussing quite some time about working together on the readings just so querents won't need to wait too long to be attented but anyway, Cheryl won't be free until she really is ready to help out with the readings..So, I'll just carry on waiting until she's all set to go along with me..*sighs~* she had always loved tarot just like I do and we had been friends since we were children..what's funny is that at times, we share the same weird pastimes that some others don't..so I guess that's probably the bond that had held us strong for so many years..take a look at her~so happy upon receiving her decks when we were hanging out in one of the cafes some time ago..at the same time, I'm delighted too when I see how her eyes shone when she unpacked those decks..*grins* we just can't get enough from tarot itself..there'r just so many mysteries awaiting to be explored~!!!
Okay~enough of my partner now, let's get back to some of the decks I'd previously left
out...today, I'll be introducing two sets of decks that were published in Hong Kong. However, these two decks come with Mandarin based books..So only those who understand Mandarin well will find those books useful but fear not, as the decks themselves are in English..so the decks can still be of use even when you don't understand a word about the books..provided you do know how to read the cards, of course..the deck on the right here's the first version of Iris's..this deck is more to anime types so teens will probably find this deck pretty for collection or reading purposes. However, the pages of this deck are named as princesses instead of pages. Overall, the images are pretty, only a little whee bit extra glaring due to the high gloss effects it has on the cards. Though it's a high gloss deck, much more glossier than those of U.S Games' but rest assured that you won't have difficulty shuffling it..it's still smooth to the touch..*winks*
Next, the deck you're viewing now is the second version from Iris as well..but this decks has much more improvement with the images and what makes it even prettier is that the deck's black..well, I don't know..maybe I'm more intrigued with black based decks..else I wouldn't have loved Nefertari so much..*grins* Though the deck's quality's slightly the same with the previous version, I think maybe this deck will win the favor from more of other readers..as this deck adds more maturity to its images that allows more chances of unpacking the metaphors of the deck by each and every reader. So for those who already own this set, have fun exploring and studying it to gain more insights. Before I end this blog for the day, I would also like to inform that a stranger that happened to dropped me a mail once about a month ago or so, is now successfully a beginner who's taking on his very first journey through the path of tarot and also my new friend..Benjamin, it's nice to have known you and I sincerely wish that you will be able to gain more insights with every reading you practice from now onwards..gambateh~!
