Perfect perfect perfect, Sagira. Crystal Visions, I believe that is exactly what I was looking for. It sticks to the same symbolism as RW but with a Pagan aspect. Thank you so much, I'm definitely drawn to this deck, I don't even feel a need to look further, even though I probably should. It feels like the one though.
The Rider-Waite deck is not a "Christian" deck. There is profound symbolism in those pictures that you could learn to read. Most other decks in the market today are watered down Rider-Waites with prettier colors. I too dislike the Rider-Waite— because it is hideous! But it is heavy with symbolism and very specific design.
Christians have their place in the Occult, though they don't call it Magick a lot of the time. It is called mysticism or priesthood and the work they do is through their God. Beyond that, there is much debate, and while the Rider-Waite has Christian leanings, it is not entirely a Christian based symbology. You also have to remember that many Christian beliefs and practices were borrowed and shaped from various parts of Paganism.
My first card deck is Druid craft Tarot And I never used booklet even my reading don't match always with booklet and maximimum readings were correct However peoples said me it's not beginner card but I think it don't matter ones you connected to your deck and intuition ...
Blessed Be
I believe it is a Christian deck. It has Christian symbolism, I don't like it. Christianity has NO place in the occult whatsoever, the bible HATES the occult, so they should stay out of it.
I don't believe Satan is a part of Wicca. I think the Rider Waite deck shows women in a negative light. I don't like it. Don't try to "educate" me, as I already have a formed opinion on the deck, and I would feel uncomfortable using it. I didn't ask, "Should I just use the RW deck, or find something else". I know what I want to do. Thank you, but none of your opinions were called upon.
To everyone else who gave me a valid response, thank you. I think I have found the deck I would like, that is closely related to Rider Waite, and I would feel much more comfortable using it.
