oh wait the fountain tarot sounds interesting! might need to add that to my wishlist lol

@WillowBreeze honestly I think I still prefer RWS for reversals overall bc the imagery is so clear? but wild unknown is making me see things differently which I appreciate

the wild unknown is SO good at capturing the emotional vibe of cards even when the imagery is totally different from rws

like technically the 4 of wands is about celebration and stability but reversed theres this tension... and the way kim krans draws it you really FEEL that instability

its funny bc some decks just flip the image upside down for reversals but the wild unknown actually captures the energy shift

yes!! the deck art totally changes how the reversal hits

I read with the light seer's tarot and the four of wands reversed there has this almost lonely vibe to it? like the celebration is happening but you're watching from outside

completely different energy than rider waite where it's more like the party got cancelled lol

honestly I think that's why I love collecting decks... each one brings out different layers of meaning

this is why I ended up with like 5 decks lol

I have the wild unknown too and yeah the four of wands reversed in that one feels almost... unstable? like the branches are about to fall

but in my rider waite it just looks like a slightly wonky celebration. same card totally different energy

the modern witch tarot does something cool with this one too - the reversed version really emphasizes the disconnect from community

wait ok this thread is making me want to get a second deck

I only have the classic rider waite rn and some of the reversals feel kinda... boring? like just upside down versions

any recs for a deck where the artwork really changes the meaning of reversals? I love the wild unknown aesthetic but open to others too
