This review is from: The Lord of the Rings Tarot Deck & Card Game (Toy)

First off, judging a tarot deck based on the religion of the man who inspired it is ridiculous. Judge it based on its merits as a TAROT DECK. And secondly, yes, Tarot is quite the Catholic tradition. I swear when I went to Italy, everyone I asked had a deck. But back to the topic at hand... I have yet to play the card game that this deck also functions as so I can't really say anything as to its quality, but I can most certainly say this has been the best tarot deck I have ever had the honor of owning. I've had these cards for i think 10 years and have never been let down by them. They've given me the most detailed and accurate readings out of any of my decks. I know many might not consider the artwork "beautiful", but it is still well done (certainly better than the godawful rider-waite) and stays true to the movies/books. For those of you who are concerned that the cards aren't exact replicas of the classic rider-waite symbolism, remember that tarot started based on playing cards which lacked all those pictures you're used to. I recommend you try listening to the cards rather than relying on the confining interpretation of some book or cliche symbols. It has been exactly this, the deck's noncomformity and originality, that has provided me with more detailed readings than any other.

1.0�toiles sur 5 An insult to both Tolkien and the Tarot, Jui 13 2003

Par Un client

As numerous people have mentioned, Tolkien was a Catholic, but I don't think that would have anything to do with why he wouldn't like this deck, as the Tarot was invented and primarily used by the Catholic culture of medieval and Rennaisance Europe. As a historian, he would have appreciated that. However, this deck makes a mockery both of the ancient symbolism and complex history of the Tarot, as well as the beauty and mythic scope of Tolkien's works. The symbolism is all wrong, the artwork is mediocre at best, and all of the meanings of both Tolkien's works and the Tarot cards are completely twisted and taken out of context. A wonderful concept used as a way to make a quick buck. If you are a serious Tarot reader or collector, or have any respect for the venerated author, don't buy this deck.

1.0�toiles sur 5 Gollum Plays the Fool, Janv. 3 2003

Par	Wendy Hays (San Francisco, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I was SO disappointed in this deck. I expected more from Donaldson. And the artwork could have been better. Not only is Gollum given the Fool card, but that symbol of Evil Domination, the One Ring, is placed on the X Fortune Card. I like the concept, but I hope someone comes along and does a proper job of it.

Tolkien was a close friend of C.S. Lewis. Together, they decided to write childrens books glorifying God, as they were religious Christians. Read more
