Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday spread. This week we are interviewing the Dark Daughter deck, focused on goddesses from around the world! I'm looking forward to getting into the nitty-gritty with this deck and seeing what makes it tick.
This South Asian goddess rides a crocodile through the water. She is unafraid and looks only at this moment. You're brave and will teach me to stride ahead and to trust my instincts as we read.
What are your strengths as a deck? Emperor - Nisaba
The Sumerian goddess of organisation, writing and record keeping is perfect in this role. This deck will be upfront and very likely blunt in readings, not hiding anything.
What are your limits? Sun - Arinnitti
The Hittite goddess of justice and order will help us to see, but she will not force us to look if we refuse. We'll need to be careful how we phrase our questions with this deck.
What are you here to teach me? Justice - Ezili Dantor
The Haitian spirit of motherhood believes in absolute justice - moral justice, not personal. This deck isn't going to settle for what I think is fair; it will only settle for absolute truth.
How can I best learn and collaborate with you? Five of Air - Szelanya
The Turkish goddess of wind loves a good debate. This deck wants dialogues. It may be better at spreads than at one card draws; we'll have to learn that as we go along.
What is the potential outcome of our relationship? Witch of Water - Qebhet
Note that in this deck Witches are equivalent to Queens
The Egyptian goddess of purification and freshness is a wonderful card to end on. She's not a mentor or leader; she's a companion, and this deck will be a companion if I trust it. We'll be able to tackle difficult questions together.
Heavy in Majors, as befitting a deck full of goddesses! Rather than focusing on practical action, this spread emphasises perception and judgement. With Cups and Swords appearing in the Minors, the deck seems geared toward understanding emotions, motivations, and fairness - helping clarify what is really happening before any decisions are made. I suspect this may be a deck for insight rather than prediction, and I’m curious to see if that holds true as I keep working with it.
