Is there anyone out there who truly finds minimalist tarot decks useful? Or are they just a pretty novelty?
I find tarot useful and illuminating to me because it’s heavily based on visuals, symbolism, and imagery, and those tend to be the things which I find easiest to divine from. Remove those and, well, I guess I don’t understand why you wouldn’t use geomancy or some other, less image-driven, form of divination.
(Also can I just say right now that “novelty” tarot decks get a bad rep. I don’t know whether this is a hill I’m willing to die on. But if something works I don’t care much if it isn’t Arkanely Aesthetic. It’s just that I don’t find cutesy minimalist decks to work for me.)
