Angel G I looked at the Mona Lisa cards and found them to be most beautiful. Do you, when reading, use the color in some of the cards as part of their read? I was taught years ago that the colors are quite significant as well as the numbers.
Here is a loose interpretation of colors that may appear on the cards when reading and their meanings. Every little nuance on a card is part of the card interpretation. I think some of this may get lost if one uses a regular deck of playing cards.
Red: Think fire and blood - Red rushes to us with messages of passion, primal urges, action, pleasure, vibrance, radiance, and love.
Orange: A nice subdued blend between the aggressive red and the high-pitch of yellow - Orange is about harmony, aspiration, sociability, contentment, and intelligence
Yellow: Worshipped in the form of the sun - Yellow is all about radiating creativity, protection, intellect, positivity and clarity.
Green: The fresh start of spring brings oceans of Green and with it comes attributes of youth, sentimentality, nature, adventure, growth and health.
Blue: Look to the sky for the meanings of Blue - open spaces, freedom, imagination, expansiveness, inspiration, and sensitivity.
Indigo: Similar to the attributes of blue, but Indigo's energy runs very deep - consider the unknown depths of the sea along with emotion, strength, fluidity, persuasiveness, expressiveness, and pervasiveness.
Violet: The hue of fragile flowers and sleepy sunsets, Violet reminds us of spirituality, communion, grandeur, high-ideals, devotion, and peace
Brown: Anybody who has squished their toes through the rich moist earth has got Brown down - groundedness, earthiness, tangible, practical, stable, nurturing, and solid.
Gray: When fog rolls in and we're surrounded with the haze of Gray we understand its message of - uncertainty, neutrality, mystery, intensity, and austerity.
Black: Black is required for all other colors to have depth and variation of hue - it's a forceful feature and represents formality, dignity, force, convention, stability, and zero-tolerance.
White: Contemplate the brilliance of a new white snow and how it pulls a blanket of peace over everthing it touches - White stands for peace, cleansing, illumination, purity, innocence and the highest kind of understanding.
I have been using the Mythic tarot deck, but am feeling it is time for a change. I picked this deck, pictured below, a few years ago. and it has been calling to me to get out and use. The pictures and colors are quite vibrant and seem to hold much weight. It is Bruegel tarot cards. The deck is designed after the Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, a Flemish renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes. They are quite simple and depict peasant life in the cc 1500's.
I usually don't use cards much anymore, I usually read with just my Empathic gift, but for some reason the cards are reaching out, so I will follow the call.
I thought I would share this deck with you all. this is only one of many I own, and it is nice to have the variety of choice.
