"Deck collectors may want this one for interest's sake." (Reader comment)


Product Description

Titania's Star Tarot is an interactive kit created for experienced tarot users (those used to working with at least a 9-card layout) who are also interested in astrology. The silver cover, gleaming with the words Titania's Star Tarot, makes an impactful first impression. Opening it reveals two decks of cards and a paperback instruction book all in royal purple, a color that tarot enthusiasts will recognize as symbolic of the tarot's historical roots as a divination tool for kings and queens, who have used it since ancient times. Just as Titania Hardie offered modern reinterpretations of numerology and the I Ching in her other books, her new approach to the tarot highlights the astrological significance of the cards. Tarot fans who are slightly familiar with astrology can bring additional knowledge and intuition to the card reading itself.
Deck collectors especially will be interested in the cards, which are very different than traditional tarot cards. Titania's feature minimalistic zodiac imagery framed by metallic silver ink, offering fans of the tarot and astrology alike an opportunity to use their own experiences and imagination to give meaning to the messages in the cards. Cards designed by the award-winning design firm Johnson Banks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great concept; very poor execution., Nov 9 2004

This review is from: Titania's Star Tarot (Paperback)
This could have been a nice, compact, minimalistic tarot deck, perfect for travel, etc. To my mind, there is nothing wrong with the idea. Not everyone needs or wants tarot decks sagging with bloated elves and overly cute fairies, or crowded with pseudo-medieval tarts and knaves. I don't think this deck would ever have been one for beginners, but it might have had its place in the tarot scheme of things. But the cardstock is flimsy beyond belief, the folder-holder is crap, and the book is questionable. On top of that, the card numbering in the Major Arcana is in error (not "different"; WRONG), and no one caught it before the set went to print. Apparently no one cared enough to do a decent job of either editing or production. This is a useless tarot deck. I'm sorry I bought it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap flimsy little cards, not a good choice for beginners, Oct 16 2004
This review is from: Titania's Star Tarot (Paperback)
This deck won't stand up to a year of regular readings. It's the same size as a playing card deck (much smaller than the average Tarot deck), and the card stock is so thin and flimsy that 78 cards actually form a thinner deck than the average 52-card poker deck. For those who are allergic to metallic inks, beware: every card has a silver border front and back. (The backs are reversible, if rather boring.)

The images are interesting, though cold (they're computer-generated, and quite minimalistic). Yes, it's great to leave stuff to your imagination, but this deck doesn't really trigger my imagination in the first place.
For those of you who don't like unillustrated pip cards (the non-court minor arcana), bear in mind that these pip cards don't have scenes on them. It's just the items (sword/cup/wand/coin) arranged in geometric shapes. For this reason, I wouldn't suggest it as a beginner deck. I also wouldn't recommend the book for beginners - Titania Hardie sets out some huge spreads that only an experienced reader is going to have much success with. Beginners are better off with small spreads (1-5 cards); Hardie doesn't even mention spreads of less than "a simple 9-card layout".

Deck collectors may want this one for interest's sake.
Serious readers will be turned off by the size and flimsiness of the cards.
Beginners can find more appropriate choices.
