My Morgan Greer Tarot has arrived!

A week ago I've ordered this deck from Book Depository and I didn't expect it until next week, so I was pleasantly surprised to have found it in my mailbox  yesterday; like a Imbolc gift for myself.

Morgan Greer Tarot
 Now I have this deck I cannot imagine why I've never felt the urge before to buy it. The cardstock is smooth and of good quality  and it shuffles like a charm. But most important are of course the magnificent vibrant colors of the borderless cards. The color palette transports you immediately back to the seventies Perhaps it is funny to say but they make me feel young. Listening to music from those days can also provoke feelings like that.
The imagery is mostly Rider Waite based but it is like the camera has zoomed in, so you are very up close to the characters, which gives this deck an intimate feel. I expect it will read particularly good with larger spreads because you can easily get an overview of the situation thanks to the clarity of the images of this deck.
I am looking forward to read with it. Tonight I will “officially” use it for the first time for my Imbolc reading (Of course I've played with it and tried it out already. But then who wouldn't? J)

  1. I felt the same way about the MG; I didn't really think much of it until I held it in my hands. I too love the 'seventies vibe' and the borderless cards. There's nothing more exciting than getting a new deck and discovering you like it even more than you thought you would!

  2. I'm so happy that you're enjoying this deck!! It's very beautiful - it first captured my eye due to its color and lack of borders when reading one of Joanna Ash's blog posts last summer, and I purchased it. It is really rich. I never thought about the 70s connection until later I read a review and someone commented on the fact that all the men look like copies of Tom Selleck!!!… but yes, it's quite easy to shuffle, and lovely to look at :)
