4.0 out of 5 stars Advanced Tarot Readers or Collectors Only Mar 18 2004
By dilificus
The Olympus Tarot is a beautiful deck with lovely and unique art and a Greek mythology base. It is excellent for those, like myself, who collect tarot cards and have an interest in Greek mythology. However, if you are looking for a first deck, this is certainly not it. The definitions in the little booklet that came with it are woefully unspecific. With some practice, they have potential for the reader to add details to meanings such as this, for the Five of Wands/Creatures:

Echidna. A woman's bust and a serpent's body. Mystery.

I suggest if you want to use these cards seriously, you do your own research on the mythological entities used for the cards and in traditional tarot card meanings. I personally only have them for show.

4.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Perhaps, but still a great deck. Feb 15 2004
By Mithrea
Yes, there are tons of little mythology quirks about this deck, but Greek Mythology isn't always consistent anyway. My one big obstacle to using this deck is the use of Hecate as The Devil. While I understand that her Cthonic aspects suit her for the role, I'm still very uncomfortable with using a very misunderstood goddess on such a very misunderstood card. It doesn't exactly lend itself to use by people who aren't thoroughly knowledgeable about the Tarot and about this specific goddess. That being said, it's still a fantastic deck for people interested in the Greek Pantheon. I don't use it to read, but my collection wouldn't be complete without it and I still often use the cards in Tarot spells.

4.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT GREEK & ROMAN MYTHOLOGY TAROT CARD DECK Oct 10 2002
By P. Smith
A GREAT GREEK & ROMAN MYTHOLOGY TAROT CARD DECK however some of the cards they have messed up the mythological stories of.

For example. the five of pentacles, according to the min-booklet i got, says the three women are nymphs. and they really aren't nymphs. they are gorgons (medusa's sisters) that perseus stole the eye-ball of in exchange for information for finding the north nymphs which had those three treasures that you will see on the card, and the north nymphs gave to perseus.

And another card that i definately know the creators of this deck messed up on is the seven of pentacles. according to the mini-booklet it is athena's shield. and that apollo was the one who "stoned" the army with medusa's head when it was by fact perseus.

But Only these two cards, to my knowledge, they have messed up on.

But on the upside. THIS TAROT DECK HAS BEAUTIFUL IMAGERY UPON THE CARDS AND EACH CARD IS EITHER A GOD/GODDESS OR A PLACE OR HEROIC/ROMANTIC STORY....FOR EXAMPLE ORPHEUS!

IF YOU ARE A LOVER OF GREEK/ROMAN MYTHOLOGY THIS IS BY FAR, AND DEFINATELY THE TAROT DECK FOR YOU.

I ALSO RECCOMMEND THAT YOU PICK UP A BOOK OF GREEK/ROMAN MYTHOLOGY SO YOU CAN READ THE STORIES THAT ARE WITH EACH CARD MORE IN DEPTH.
