It's easy to tell you to lean into your intuition, but each deck does something different. They are all unique in their approach and intention. Sometimes you just need to interact with the deck. This is why we offer complimentary comparison readings. Contact us with the two decks you would like to compare, and the owner will be in touch to set up your reading.
