Product Description
Product Description
The purpose of reading tarot is to understand our own inner secrets and to achieve personal harmony along the way. Titania's new approach to the tarot highlights their astrological significance, so that anyone vaguely familiar with astrology can bring additional knowledge and intuition to the card reading itself. This is a set of 78 tarot cards based on an Egyptian set of astrological cards. The accompanying book explains how to read the tarot with full explanations of every card as well as simple and more advanced sample layouts.

Titania is a serious student of esoteria. She has first-class honours degrees in psychology and English, and was awarded the Chatterton bursary for postgraduate study at Bristol University. Titania lives in Somerset with her husband and two daughters.

Great concept; very poor execution.,
By Dionysius S. Badarian (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Titania's Star Tarot (Paperback)
This could have been a nice, compact, minimalistic tarot deck, perfect for travel, etc. To my mind, there is nothing wrong with the idea. Not everyone needs or wants tarot decks sagging with bloated elves and overly cute fairies, or crowded with pseudo-medieval tarts and knaves. I don't think this deck would ever have been one for beginners, but it might have had its place in the tarot scheme of things. But the cardstock is flimsy beyond belief, the folder-holder is crap, and the book is questionable. On top of that, the card numbering in the Major Arcana is in error (not "different"; WRONG), and no one caught it before the set went to print. Apparently no one cared enough to do a decent job of either editing or production. This is a useless tarot deck. I'm sorry I bought it.

Cheap flimsy little cards, not a good choice for beginners,
By picky tarot girl (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Titania's Star Tarot (Paperback)
This deck won't stand up to a year of regular readings. It's the same size as a playing card deck (much smaller than the average Tarot deck), and the card stock is so thin and flimsy that 78 cards actually form a thinner deck than the average 52-card poker deck. For those who are allergic to metallic inks, beware: every card has a silver border front and back. (The backs are reversible, if rather boring.) The images are interesting, though cold (they're computer-generated, and quite minimalistic). Yes, it's great to leave stuff to your imagination, but this deck doesn't really trigger my imagination in the first place. Deck collectors may want this one for interest's sake.

I completely disagree with the last two reviews, I just bought this wonderful deck of Tarot and I found them great and very inspiringI am enchanted with the little astrological constellation that appear in most of the cards and I think it's a great idea to join astrology with Tarot cards I am an Italian witch and I am so sad that in my country this deck is unpublished I am very happy with this purchase, another lovely work by Titania ! |
