4.0 out of 5 stars Visually Stunning - Alas, Just Too Big to Work With, Jul 2 2003

By	Pope Cahbet "pope_cahbet" (Memphis, TN United States) - See all my reviews

****
Visually, this is the most stunning deck I have ever seen. I am more of a Tarot Card collector than a Tarot Card reader, so I cannot really say how accurate the readings are with this deck. What I can say is WOW! What art! Everyone I have shown it to was also stunned by how great the artwork is. If the deck were close to a size that an average human can actually shuffle, I would say it is my favorite deck. Maybe someone could prevail upon the producers of this deck to come out with it in a pocket size version, as US Games has done for the Rider-Waite and the Crowley-Thoth decks -- or at least something closer to the standard-sized Tarot deck. This deck is not for the traditionalist or the feminist (or prude) who is upset by nude human anatomy -- in other words, if you don't like adult images or if you are afraid of a modern reinterpretation of Tarot's ancient symbolism, stay away from this deck. On the other hand, if you want a deck with images containing all the power of the Crowley deck but little of the darkness of that deck, this one is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tarot For The Empath, Nov 1 2002

By	William A. Ricardi (Mountain View, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Without a doubt, the Rohrig Tarot is my favorite tarot. It is the one that I read with, and it has given me stunningly accurate results.

I would particularly suggest the Rohrig for those who are deeply in touch with their emotions. The art is sensual, sexual, and the cards speak in a language that is deeply intuitive to the empath. Carl's art is simply inspired.

If you are planning to use this deck on a serious or professional level, the companion book is a must have. There are subtle variations between the Rohrig and (for example) the Thoth or the Rider. Carl explains these subtle shifts in detail, and they'll make a lot of difference in your readings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Of the Cards rather than the book, Sep 23 2000

By	John (Tampa, FL, USA) - See all my reviews

When I read the cards, I look for what meaning it can give me for the person I am reading for. This deck is a deck that speaks to me. The artwork and various scenes tell me something about the person that I am reading for - whether they themselves or the situation around them.

The book may offer more interpetations. Those who wish to rely on what the book is telling them to see in the cards is fine and good - for starters. Yet, for someone to really get a good reading, if this deck "speaks" to you, then rely on your own inner voice.

I like the artwork in this deck, but the meanings seem a little off to me. Perhaps its because the deck seems to be derived from the Alister Crowley Thoth tarot deck (kings are... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better version
I find the 1995 version to be much more appealing then the newer 1999 edition. The layout in the cards in this deck is simply more visually appealing. Read more
