Wild Unknown Tarot

[Jessica]

Hello. I’m new to Reddit , by a couple of weeks, and newer still to this group.
I’m thinking of getting this Tarot deck, but I thought I’d check here for feedback first. I’m drawn to it and the pictures of animals and nature are attractive. Anyone here that has any experience with these and wants to share it with me? I’d appreciate it.

This is a super popular deck– have you searched the name in the sidebar?

Oh I love mine. It was my first deck and it’s the one I tend to get pulled to more often than not. It’s kind of my every-day deck.

The card stock is also wonderful. I love the colors, the artwork style, all of it. It just fits into my vibe no matter what mood I’m in. I will cop that I have four decks; this is the one I use the most.

It is a very beautiful deck to be sure but a few things about this deck:

1. It is not a beginner deck no matter how many people have said it is.
2. Even though it follows the Rider-Waite-Smith system, it has Pip cards for the Minor Arcana closer to the Marseille Tarot, so trying to gain meaning from the imagines will not come as easily as it would with a standard R-W-S.
3. The author of the Guidebook, which is the artist as well, though she has the keywords very close to the textbook meaning of the cards she sometimes goes with her own meaning of the cards, so if you are just learning it may be confusing to start with this deck especially if you ever try to use other decks. Reading with intuition is always better than with always going with textbook meanings, but it is better to have the textbook R-W-S meanings down as a foundation to work off of.
4. She also switches Justice and Strength which can be confusing when trying to read with other decks if you start with this deck.

It is a beautiful deck, but even though I have always gotten very accurate readings with it, I have never connected with the deck. I have heard the same from others as well, but hey, maybe it will be different for you.

Yeah, his correspondences are not even particularly cohesive
