Gentle charm and well-done Walter Crane Illustrations, Dec 4 2005
By Cerulean - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harmonious Tarot (Cards)
from works such as "Flowers from Shakespeare's Garden" that one can buy for a few dollars in a modern reprint. The LWB presents a cosy atmosphere and explains the meanings and ideas of this old-fashioned style of tarot. The majors are done in the Continental style, with Justice as Eight and Strength as 11. The minors have the more modern convention of very pretty illustrations and full number of pips integrated into the scene for each card. I find majors, minors and courts are done in a delicate blend of Italianate neoclassical engraving with Walter Crane's blend of Art Nouveau and Victorian charm.
So if cherubs, posys, long-haired and romantic heroes and heroines sound delicious to you, this is a fresh and friendly deck. I found delicate humorous twists of posies morphing into animals and airy, warm daylight in the landscapes.
This tarot encouraged me to read more of Walter Crane and research the art groups he was involved in...he even was a founder of a New York society of arts and crafts that Pamela Colman Smith was a member of when she was in New York. Both artists were fine line illustrators and respected decorative book arts and Japanese ukiyoe prints, as well as their classical European counterparts.
I find it a very charming and worthwhile tarot to use and enjoy. This is one of the tarots that I would say works well for many styles of readings...including just studying the pictures for storytelling or design inspiration.
I hope you find this a beautiful tarot as well.

A review of the Harmonious Tarot, Mar 10 2006
By Sandra L. Letterman "Sidhelady" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harmonious Tarot (Cards)
This is one of the prettiest decks I have seen in a good while. I have long been a fan of Walter Crane's Art work of the Faery folk and other mystical inhabitants of the unseen world, The energy of this deck is very soft and feminine, which makes it useful in reading for female querants. Some decks have a tendency to frighten folks new to the energies of the Tarot decks. This one is very non threatening visually, making it easier to share the insights suggested without making one fearful of the images. I find I personally resonate well to the imagery and energy of this particular deck. I would not use it for everyone, but would reserve it more for younger female new querants, as well as Women in general.The colors are soft and misty and the cards themselves are easy ro handle . I would reccomend this deck for new readers and those especially attuned to the Faery world. Sidhelady@joplin.com

Beautiful Deck, Mar 27 2007
By Shellie R - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Harmonious Tarot (Cards)
This is one of my favorite decks of tarot cards. The artwork is stunningly beautiful, particularly if you can appreciate the style of art reminiscent of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The art on the reverse side of the cards is also rich and unique.
My readings using these cards have been insightful, soul stirring, and accurate. In fact, I like this deck so much that I purchased two, so I'll have one available when the one I use wears out. Speaking of wear and tear, I found this deck to be far more durable than other decks published by Lo Scarabeo.
I've been studying tarot for over 25 years and recommend this deck to anyone who's studied tarot, and likes this artistic style.
Listmania!
