- Hello Dawn et al
-
- An idea if its to your taste, maybe different tarrot decks might solve this
- problem. I find the MotherPeace torrot to be very gentle no matter how severe
- the reading and it tends to stay away from harsh realities, such as death. I
- find the deck very friendly in the pictures ( female scenes ). There are
- bummer cards in the deck ( 5 of swords, the sting ) but they don't come out
- with the harshness that the tradition tarrot does and the truth can be dulled
- down depending on the strength of personality of the person the reading is for.
-
- Anyway, I guess I am suggesting using a more earthy deck for reading
- to people who you feel might get upset from a reading which they take as
- bad news or fortune. Although the death card ( a picture of a burial sight
- beneath a tree ) may come up the tone of the deck may give a not so harsh
- flavor as say the traditional death card ( death in black armor riding a horse )
- and hence the mode is affected differently.
-
- Hope this helps.
