Thoth Tarot Deck...not the book, April 25 2002
This review is from: Crowley Thoth Tarot Dk (Misc. Supplies)
I was looking for this deck, but the cards are so large that they are impossible to use and the colors are faded and washed out...the original deck that I had was smaller in size and the colors were vibrant...I'd send these back but re-shipping is not worth the time and effort.

LARGE AND BEAUTIFUL, July 8 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Crowley Thoth Tarot Dk (Misc. Supplies)
This edition of the Crowley deck is truly a handful and I found shuffling a tad awkward. However, what a truly amazing sight they are to behold when they are spread out before you in their giant splendor. The colors are similar to the watercolors that you see in impressionist paintings and mostly greens and blues are used to create a dreamy effect. I think Lady Harris, the artist, succeeds with her color schema. Her colors produces a watery and ethereal feeling, which is laced with a strong tenor of surrealism. The overall effect is a nebulous and fantastical feel. Lady Harris is particualrly gifted in capturing dichotomous human instincts beautifully. This deck is a favorite of mine and I highly recommend it. Lady Harris conveys the fantasy, ecstasy, pain and brilliance of the human experience with true empathy.

Excellent deck, but too big and the colours are *dead*., April 27 2000
This review is from: Crowley Thoth Tarot Dk (Misc. Supplies)
I like the Thoth deck a lot, but this edition has two major problems. First, the cards are rather large which make the deck hard to shuffle. Second, the cards have a greenish hue and the colours are somewhat dead, especially compared to the other edition. Personally, I recommnd people to buy the smaller livlier coloured edition.
