![]() e_internalĭoes anyone have a good tutorial on the best way to get cards printed in MPC from the files provided by Chesca? Please, educate yourselves about this before ordering. The posts at this facebook group are well worth the time it takes to read them. It's worth the trouble to download the free version if you'd like a copy, and have it printed up at a site like this one If I did, I'd never feel right using it or even seeing it on the shelf. I could not purchase the reprint in good conscience, or even accept a copy as a gift. I know many people have printed their own copy of the Greenwood for their use with these images. She doesn't want the deck reprinted and sold. I understand that Chesca is fine with this as long as they are for personal use and not used to make money. Again, I claim no special knowledge, but am only sharing the arguments I have heard so that people can perhaps find out more information for themselves.Īlso, the artist had made her images available for people to print decks for their personal use- you can download them here. I've heard people say they feel there is some male entitlement going on with the rights of the woman creator being trampled on, as I believe has happened to several women tarot artists throughout history (and obviously happens to women in general). I don't know how the legality of the how thing works, but I understand that many feel that regardless of legality the artist's wishes in regards to her own work should be respected. The co-creator has now decided to reprint the deck, even though Chesca has apparently expressly stated she did not want the deck reprinted. Chesca went out of contact with the community some years ago- again I don't know the circumstances of this. I don't claim any special knowledge about it, but many people in the tarot community are upset that this reprint is being done without the permission of Chesca Potter, the artist, who apparently holds the copyright to the art. Have a look at it if you want to know whether this deck speaks to you. If you have any love for pre-historical art and power animals and Stonehenge and streams and deep forests - both these decks are for you.Īnother link: the Greenwood artist, Chesca Potter, put the Greenwood book and images on her website. I think it would work also with the Greenwood. There is a wonderful deck by the great Alison Cross - A Year in the Wildwood. Thinking about the difference between the two decks: the Greenwood looks more Bronze Age shamanic, the Wildwood more Celtic shamanic. If you want to see Arwen Lynch compare the two decks, here you go: I'd LOVE to see the Greenwood re-printed. Something similar happened with the Mythic Tarot - it was re-published with much slicker art work, and people simply loved the original art. But there's something very special, a bit rough and authentic, about the Greenwood. Although the Wildwood is beautiful and meaningful. ![]() It disappeared like a unicorn, and the Wildwood, which was supposed to replace it, somehow couldn't. OH - that Green Egg was fun - and it really helped to have the printed and picture instructions on how to use it.It's a beautiful deck, and I think the whole story of the deck turned it into a myth. We didn't use the kayaks but it would have been easy to do so. Having a washer/dryer in two spots in the house was a really nice touch - especially for those who'll be at the beach or doing water sports. It was a warm week so we didn't use the sauna but it's lovely. It would have been nice to have a bathroom down there and a mirror - but those are minor issues. The basement bedroom is well labeled as being "cold" and it was - but that was perfect for the one "hot" member of our group. The bedrooms were good - although there are a lot of stairs in this house so that might be an issue for other-abled folks. There was every type of pot/pan/utensil for any variety of cooking. The kitchen was super - we hired a private chef for one meal and she had everything she needed to make us a fabulous meal. We didn't feel crowded in this home - in fact, it felt like one of our homes instead of just being a 'house'. That said, it was cozy and comfortable and my 3 long-time college pals and I felt right at home. The home has been very nicely and thoughtfully renovated - quite high end finishes and furnishings. There aren't enough superlatives to describe how perfect our stay was in this beautiful home. ![]()
