I’m sorry I was really hoping for a little bit more of an explanation as to each card and what not I mean we can see the obvious I barely even know the literally just started learning all of those things were so obvious I was really hoping for a little more of an explanation to each card sorry I just had to say
I have nothing against people who like or use Besançon decks, but I do not personally like the substitutions (which were arguably made by and for Protestants). So to see Swiss decks that are NOT Besançon is a pleasure, and interestingly this has been on my mind recently. Thanks again for the wonderful content you provide.
OH thank you!!! I’m the person who requested this! 😊 my favorite deck is Claude Burdel, because of the ornate pip designs (and I prefer reading with the Popess & the Pope, just because I’m more familiar with them). You’re making me want to revisit my Gassmann, but I’ve never seen the Heri or the Rochias before! The brown cloak on Heri’s Hermit is really interesting. Thank you for taking my request!
I noticed upon closer look the Heri deck has eyes pointing to one side or another where in most TdM the eyes of the people in those cards tend to be forward. So it seems that the Heri deck presents interesting potential for readings, like with Justice looking left and Judgement looking right. Makes the cards that might fall next to them open to new contextual meaning!
