I do have a good size tarot collection. I have a few oracles and a growing collection of Lenormand. It's been a while that I dig into my collection and look up at various deck. I had been reminded of the Bright Idea Tarot (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/bright-idea/) by someone I know. I forgot about that deck and I dig that deck up. I have it in my collection.
I never really used it. Well, I have many decks that fall in that category. What is different with this deck: I had look at it a lot before forgotting about it. What I like about this deck: it is not a conventional deck. It is non treathening. It get used for brainstorming. Some may say it is a bit bland, not very challenging (just think of the reaction for the Death or Devil cards!0 Well, I am sure there are people who will shiver at cards like the XX Examination card in the Bright Ideas deck. On the card, there is a dentist looking at a mouth. Our view is from the mouth of the patient. It exist some people who have various fears and the fear of dentists is on among many other.
there is a flip side too. Many cards can bring a little smile because the connction that can be made. In the yellow section of the deck, for example: 4 contemplation. The person on the card have a ressemblance of a famous recent wizard (cough Harry Potter for those who are clueless) Another one is the V Guidance card where there is an Indiana Jones lookalike. I like the two parallel because it gives a sense of adventure to the card.
On the VII Advancement card, there is an whimsical and wild part to the deck that is shown: a person, on a segway break a fense. I am sure a story can be made out of it. Personally, I wonder why that person break the fence. I like the 6 Cooperation in the green section of the deck. There is a team that build a sand castle. All those cards show that breaking the mold can bring something into a new light.
I think I am ready to take a step further. I am ready to not just browse the deck and look at the cards. I want to see if I can read those cards. One motivation: Would be nice to do a fast one with that deck on someone that doesn't like tarot. I would just like to see the reaction of the person.
