4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Starter Deck!, May 26 2003

By	Sarina Nicole "TriniGourmet.com" (Trinidad) - See all my reviews

Although I have now been reading the Tarot for over ten years I almost never started! Like many who were put off by the Rider-Waite deck's colors and cartoonish 'flatness' I thought Tarot was not for me. That is until I got this deck. The rich colors and flowing movements in the pictures made it very easy for me to understand the scenarios and emotions conveyed by each card. The readings have always been very accurate with this deck as well. The only reason that I have not given it 5 stars is that it lacks an in-depth accompaniment book (probably because the imagery does not relate to other schools that would lend to a deeper understanding of the Tarot). Still, for the beginner, and even the expert, this deck is a delight :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gorgeous Deck, uncannily accurate reading!, Mar 4 2003

By	Ray (Kowloon Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

I was drawn to the deck mainly for its beauty and adding it to my collection of beautiful decks. I didn't really expect to read with this deck. However, when I read the LWB, I was intrigued by the four love stories of the four suits and I liked the idea of fitting a story in each suit. I decided to give it a try for reading.

After several reading sessions with myself and my friends, I was BLOWN AWAY by the uncanny accuracy of this deck. The right cards always showed up in the right places like it was MAGICKAL. I thought it was only an art deck in the first place but the actual reading experiences with it proved me wrong. There's something very special about it. It has also put my Rider Waite to shame when it comes to consistent accuracy in reading.

I understand why some people think it is a difficult deck to read, since the deck doesn't follow the traditional symbolism. But I truly think this deck is in a different league, and in some sense even more successful in bringing out the card meanings effectively than the usual Rider clones, or the Rider itself. It doesn't rely on symbology, but the story-driven system is really intelligent and stirring.

I highly recommend this deck to both tarot readers and connoiseurs.

2.0 out of 5 stars argh, Oct 27 2002

By A Customer

Alright, in all fairness I was fated not to like this deck. I wanted the Tarot Art Nouveau *not* the Art Nouveau Tarot. The deck I wound up with is colorful and nice eye candy; the deck is pretty traditional and most would probably find it a tasty alternative to the straight-up R-W deck.

However, I for one am less than amused at the damsels clinging to their men. Argh Argh ack.

The deck is well done and the colors are very vivid. Some of the pictures seemed contrived, the faces mostly. Read more
