I use this deck more than any other, but…. there are a few things I don’t like about it. I was originally attracted to the artwork and after I used the deck for a while it soon became my favorite out of about a dozen decks. Most of the images are great and I get great readings, I agree with some other reviews that there are a few that seem a little jarring if you are assuming the traditional meaning. It is definitely a feminine deck with female figures in many of the traditional male cards, I happen to like that.I would have given this deck an enthusiastic 5 stars until I went to the artist’s website and saw the original work. Stunningly beautiful with vibrant colors. Llewellyn really messed this deck up. The yellow tones and the borders taking up so much space to not do justice to the original images. If it is ever reprinted in full color and a slightly bigger size I would grab one.
Nice artwork stifled I waited with anticipation for this deck to come out, watching it’s progress on the artists website. The artwork is lovely, unfortunately you still need to go to the mentioned website to appreciate it. The cards have an awful greenish-brown border which makes the images smaller, so that much of the detail is lost. The colors also seem muddy in comparison to the original art. For instance on the Star card, the detail of the rocks is completely gone and looks like a black mass. On the 4 of cups card, there is a castle, burro and stag in the background but you need a magnifying glass to see them. Unfortunately, this is true of quite a few other cards. This could have all been fixed by Llewelyn, who should have eliminated the border entirely and perhaps even made the cards bigger. Barbara Moore is an excellent writer, but I find her “use your intuition” questions in place of the cards interpretation rather bothersome. This is an art deck, with design based on the artists aesthetics and…
Nice, moderately dark deck You can see pictures of the cards on a number of tarot deck websites, so I won’t spend a lot of time on them here. If you’re an art deck collector, this is probably already on your LustList. If not, you want to know how it *reads*.First, there’s no nudity in this deck, which to many readers who read at public fairs, is a huge relief. (The Lovers are semi-nude, but tastefully photoshopped). It’s a darkish deck–moons appear in every card–but the overall tone is not particularly shadowy or bleak to me, as many ‘darker’ decks are. The symbolism is strongly reliant on RWS, so owners of other ‘standard’ decks can probably jump right in with readings. Some differences exist–the Hanged Man, for example, has both legs straight instead of the standard ‘figure four’, the Devil doesn’t have a scary guy with horns–but all in all your RWS deck skills will transfer pretty seamlessly. Many symbols repeat throughout the deck, like waterfalls and ravens, that are not standard,…
