What a beautiful deck. I have another deck, The Tarot of the Divine, that has that same linen-like finish and it makes the cards shuffle so smoothly and they're very durable. The hand gesture of the woman in the Ten of Swords is the same gesture that the Hierophant is making with her raised hand. From my understanding, it's a sign of a blessing.
Arent all decks and booklets printed in china these days?? Currently i am using the feminine wisdom oracle as the latest arrival. By rockpool publishing. The booklet also says printed and bounded in china.
@@Eve.N1782 hey Eve thanks for the comment. And no, fortunately not all decks made in China. Hence I want to do the membership thingy as it can highlight which decks aren’t made there and to hopefully help my friendly subscribers can decide form themselves as well. It’s not that I hate Chinese people and don’t want to support their business, but their government really isn’t being fair the way they conducting business In the world. I.E : they have no problem funding counterfeited business ( fake tarot) if that means this business feed 100-200 Chinese people, even though also they liv very cheaply and treated poorly. This is I don’t agreee about and it’s not just in tarot industry. Cccp their communist party never had qualms when it comes to their citizens stealing other nation’s intelectual properties in technologies, art and all aspect of life in general. Hence I want to help businesses that produces their products outside China as much as possible.
I understand your point of view. But I am not sure if their are really options to go around that anymore. There is so much in everyday life that comes from China that your not even aware off. I learned about counterfeit cards just a few weeks ago. It made me sick to my stomach. That's the flip side of buying second hand apparently and vinted is not doing anything about it either. That's why I am sticking to the decks with ISBN number instead of the QR code. But buying indie decks for example, is just not achievable for regular people. I wish I could buy the indie version of the feminine wisdom oracle. 64 pieces of pure art instead of 36.
@@Eve.N1782 yea I understand what you mean. In my case, if there’s 1 or 10 more decks made in Europe and it’s beautiful and nice to read with ( tarot / oracle ) I will defo push them more. For example lo scarabeo decks still made and print in Italy. I feel we just need to do what we can do to lessen made in china stuff in our lives. :) hope you are ok in your world and yes about indie decks now is quite expensive I am also refrain my self to buy and show case them at the moment..
