Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ
Q: How is 'Koifuda' different from tarot cards?
The biggest difference is its 'overwhelming simplicity.' With only 14 carefully selected cards, it's easy to memorize the meanings, even if you've struggled with traditional tarot. You can start using it professionally from the day it arrives.
Q: What can I divine with 'Koifuda'?
It specializes in divining your partner's feelings during romance and your own feelings toward them. It can provide detailed insights from surface awareness to deep inner truths.
Q: Are there things I cannot divine with 'Koifuda'?
You cannot divine matters not directly related to romantic emotions, such as other relationships (family, friends), work, health, money, or global events.
Q: Can I combine these with Tarot or other Oracle cards?
Yes, you can. Using Koifuda to pinpoint 'the partner's inner truth' while reading the overall flow with Tarot is highly praised by professional diviners for adding depth to their consultations.
Q: With only 14 cards, can it really capture the nuances of complex relationships?
Koifuda consists of 14 cards that condense the 'core' emotions of romance. Because of the limited number, the combinations become clear, allowing you to sharply derive the 'partner's true feelings' that often remain vague.
Q: Can I divine 'timing' with this deck?
Yes, but it is considered an 'irregular use.' Since human emotions rarely change drastically over short periods, the creator (Ririo) seldom uses it for timing. However, if you wish to see the 'flow of emotions,' you can draw cards at your own set intervals, such as once a week.
Q: What should I do if the reading result is negative?
The cards reflect the current flow, but it is not a fixed future. By referring to the advice cards and slightly changing your current actions, it is possible to turn the future for the better.
Q: Can I use these for complex relationships (reconciliation, secret love)?
Yes. Obsidian Room decks (especially Koifuda) are specialized in reading deep inner feelings and complex emotional nuances, providing close support for concerns that are difficult to discuss with others.
