I finally received my copy of The Deviant Moon Tarot. I had been in a
panic for weeks because all of my pre-orders kept falling through.
Jeannette at The Tarot Garden came through in spades!
I love this deck. It speaks to the melancholy, lunar images of our
dreams and bring to life some of our most closely held fears. Despite
the disturbing (to some) artwork, this deck is easily used for
readings. If you look at the image on the 3 of Swords you will see that the
figure is touching one of the blades (there is a small drop of blood
there) - she needs to know if the pain she feels is real or imagined
(this is, after all, the suit of the intellect and the mind - quite
often we think things are worse than they really are or we invent pain
for various manipulative reasons). It seems to be real.
The Ace of Cups is perhaps the most beautiful rendering of this card
that I have ever seen. From the LWB:
"An Angel lovingly cradles the golden chalice against her body. Her
warm spirit invigorates the liquid she holds, inviting the moon to sip
of its contents.
Upright - Abundant pleasure, fullness of spirit, beautiful situations
in life.
Reversed - Unfortunate and abrupt changes, loss of love, stagnation."
