Personal preference is important

I received this deck from my sister who bought the cards because she liked how they looked but then had very little luck with them. I have to admit, some of the images are wonderful - like the ones on the World card and the Wheel of Fortune - but these are few and far between, unfortunately. In general, the images are incredibly stark and, I felt, difficult to read.
The images are also not traditional (cups are starfish and pentacles are leaves, for example) which wouldn't be a problem except the cards have no other illustrations or markers. The starfish especially tend to throw me off because they are so unlike the typical 'cup' symbol and remind me more of the pentacles they seem to represent. I personally felt that I couldn't connect with these cards at all.
Basically, I would say that this is a situation in which you would really need to look at the cards and make a personal decision about whether or not they would work for you. If you like vibrant illustrations with lots of detail or more imaginitive decks that are still grounded primarily on traditional symbols, this deck is probably not for you.

When you know your stuff, this deck has a wide open flow.

I know the reviews on this deck are not very good. True, many of the minor arcana seem repititious, some of the majors have different names, and not everyone feels comfortable with some of the New Age symbols used for some of the majors.
That being said, if you can wash tradition out of your mind and expand your peripheral spiritual vision a bit as you work with these cards (they are more square than rectangular) you might be amazed at what perceptions they bring up for readings!
It's definitely not a beginner's deck, but for those with many decks and in-depth studies, this is like a teeth cleaning. The deck has a freshness that presents new interpretations, sidles away from the RWS and the Thoth a few steps, and encourages you to be like The Fool and step off a new cliff for a wild freefall ride. Would I use it for every reading? No. People generally like to see faces of some type looking back at them from the cards. Geometry fans and numerologists will probably feel more comfortable with these cards, especially in meditation.
If you have a number of the same-old, same-old decks and you're willing to be open to a surprising upsurge from your own subconscious, here's your ticket to ride!
