4.0 out of 5 stars Marseilles photomontage workalike, Oct 24 2002
This might be a deck for those raised with delight in the film, stage, and photographic arts.
Vision is one of the quieter photomontage decks. I find that its strength is the use of actual actors and props in a Marseilles setting and tarot structure. These are people and things that you can use to form a mental screenplay.
The deck system has a Marseilles-based ordering. The images are set in a quasi-Medieval/Renaissance stage. What also kept me interested in this deck was how well and quietly this stage is set for the viewer. Small gold lettering in English and a thin gold border surround a set staged and titled in a Gothic script. There are deceptively simple borders and subtle pips (Did you see the flowering branch of the batons? Did you notice how the cloud formations changed in background of the Swords?). In addition, the set contains a nice little white book. There's enough information to enjoy a reminder of older designs.
The images for the Aces, Trumps and Courts are nicer to me than most Marseilles woodcuts. I can also use it for it's strong Marseilles structure in other ways.
I like to read Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino and wanted a Marseilles deck to play with the spreads. I've also had another new favorite book, by Gareth Knight, The Magical World of the Tarot (Fourfold Mirror of the Universe). The information on the Marseilles structure and the spreads look very interesting. I found that Vision Tarot sets the Marseilles stage for me. The Marseilles poses, with actors and props, engage my reading imagination. The poses and pictures are so clearly from the Marseilles deck. But these are photographs, a totally different medium than drawn or woodcut designs. So I have the old Marseilles design with an attractive and different art medium to engage me.
Many of us in the modern world have an affinity to film, photography or live performance, this deck might work best as a way to catch our eyes and then quietly slow down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners, Aug 2 2002
By Hui Ling Lai - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've had this deck for exactly one week, and already it's told me lots of information. Maybe it's because my best friend picked it out, who believes that tarot decks won't work properly if you don't receive it as a gift. But, THIS IS A GREAT DECK! The pictures are wonderful and look almost real, yet they're CGI-ed.

Yeah, it's all a matter of preference, but if this deck screams at you, then don't listen to the critics... listen to yourself.
