Hi Have a hard time connecting to some of the visuals of the New Vision deck, especially in cases when I don't perceive much more than the given picture but from the back. I also might not get some of the references. Can you please help with providing some sources I can use to connect to the symbols and historical references?
You have to be familiar with the Rider Waite Smith to understand the basics of this deck. It’s just a different spin than what it’s based on.
Apart from the guidebook that came with the deck, your best option is to look at books for the Rider Waite Smith that have explanations for the symbols used.
Do you have any gudiance how to reframe my approach regarding New Vision? I'm generally familiar with RWS but some of the New Vision cards don't seem to say anything new. Currently I don't have the guidebook
Well, I’d start with looking at each card, and comparing it with the RWS counterpart. What’s different. What other point of view is it giving that’s not in the original.
Example that I’m thinking of, if it’s the right deck, is the Chariot. We see it from the back with two slaves chained to chariot. This is more than just going ahead and taking charge, but plundering and taking what the charioteer wants.
