. . . more than 10 years in the making - and it was well worth the wait! -- Northwindvisions.com, May 2001
A brilliant, imaginative reconception of the traditional deck. Alexandra Genetti's interpretations are deeply thought out, ripe with both knowledge and sensitivity. Her paintings are beautiful, imaginative in conception, rich in detail, realized with great skill. I highly recommended it! -- Starhawk, Author of Spiral Dance and The Fifth Sacred Thing

Alexandra Genetti is a wonderful artist and her dedication to the spiritual tool of Tarot is clear. This deck and book and the insight with them are true gifts of the spirit. Enjoy this deck as a gallery of delights, a divination tool and a system of personal development and learning. It works on many levels. -- Pagan Review of Books, No. 2, February, 2001
Alexandra Genetti's fine Wheel of Change Tarot deck is often achingly beautiful to behold. her Symbols are well-chosen and her execution always good, sometimes great. Her book is warm and intelligent, itself a remarkable accomplishment of scholarship of the lore of Pagan folk worldwide and across time. For longtime classical readers, the Wheel of Change Tarot is stimulating and challenging. -- Diane Conn, Darling Pangaia

Book Description
The vivid, detailed watercolors of this 79-card deck and book set celebrate the scope of human experience in images from cultures around the world. Ten years in the making, The Wheel of Change Tarot turns the art of Tarot into a means of bringing greater richness and meaning to everyday life. In brilliant, detailed watercolors, Alexandra Genetti captures the scope of human existence, as her images from cultures around the world combine to make a deck full of archetypes for a new millennium. By remaining true to the traditional structure of the Tarot but infusing it with layers of pattern and meaning drawn equally from the natural world, Goddess-centered beliefs, traditional religions, and contemporary culture, The Wheel of Change Tarot transcends any single belief system. It triggers a realization of the deep interconnected nature of all things and of the eternal cycle of transformation, of change, that is the only constant in the world. The Wheel of Change Tarot includes many new spreads for doing sophisticated readings, a solitaire game designed to help beginners familiarize themselves with the Tarot, and guides to astrology and symbolism that will help readers develop their own philosophical system.

Fabulous new deck for students of Tarot.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wheel Of Change Tarot Boxed Set (Paperback)
Genetti has created a wonderful new deck for students of Tarot. This is not another "theme" version of the Waite deck, rather, Genetti has taken a fresh look at the philosophy of Tarot to produce her deck. Vibrant colors draw the user in, and the cards are full of details which will generate new interpretations for many readings to come. The images are very diverse, drawing on many cultural, geographical, and spiritual correspondences. To allow the user more possibilities of interpretation, the pip (Ace-10's) cards have no humans in them. Court cards are identified as Prince, Princess, Knight, and Queen. For once, we have a book written by the designer of a deck which is concise rather than written in "mystic-speak". She describes her thoughts on the images, but leaves much to be intuited by the user. Genetti's deck reflects a reverence for the whole of Creation and challenges us to rediscover our connections to the natural world. . .before it's too late.

This review is from: Wheel Of Change Tarot Boxed Set (Paperback)
I love this Tarot set and have been using my daughter's for years. I thought it was time to get my own. The cards are each a work of art and the write-up is so spot on it gives you goose bumps.

Call me "disappointed".,
By Dionysius S. Badarian (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wheel Of Change Tarot Boxed Set (Paperback)
I was really looking forward to this deck. I'd heard positive things about it. Then I got mine. Personally, the art didn't really appeal on closer examination. It seemed childish and overly crowded and fussy, like grade 4 students' posters. But that is just a personal thing. I'm sure many might find it...nice. Just not me.What really bugged me was that the deck that arrived had several duplicate cards and was missing some cards entirely, even though still sealed. This, and the somewhat flimsy card stock told me that whatever job the deck's creator had done, no care had been taken by the publisher. Especially since the publisher never bothered to reply to my polite enquiries regarding getting individual replacement cards. Thankfully, the seller agreed to take a useless deck back, much to my relief. Sadly, I can't recommend this deck at all.
