I love the cards! This is my first tarot book so I think I needed a little more info。 I definitely want to keep learning but I may need to invest in another book。

I love the cards themselves and this book helps with insight as a package I would recommend it tho it doesn't offer all the information which is why I would recommend looking up stuff as well and not only go by this book I give it a 4 stars because it's a great jumping off point for future readings and the gorgeous cards I love the cards themselves and this book helps with insight as a package I would recommend it tho it doesn't offer all the information which is why I would recommend looking up stuff as well and not only go by this book I give it a 4 stars because it's a great jumping off point for future readings and the gorgeous cards 。。。more

Beautiful tarot cards, amazing guide book。

Chris Lawrence

Beautiful non-traditional deck。 I read other reviews that talk about the guidebook being short/light。 But I found the brevity and directness very helpful in my study of Tarot and a compliment to the more minimal style of the art and nature as the central avatars。

This is a great book to start understanding the tarot, comes with an explanation for each card in the tarot deck and it explains what are the major and minor arcanas and the wands, swords, cups and pentacles all separately。 Oh and of course the court cards and how each fits into their respective families and how each family is tied to an element and how this can interact with factors in your life。It also cl es with a section on teaching you how to shuffle and how to draw different readings。I’ve This is a great book to start understanding the tarot, comes with an explanation for each card in the tarot deck and it explains what are the major and minor arcanas and the wands, swords, cups and pentacles all separately。 Oh and of course the court cards and how each fits into their respective families and how each family is tied to an element and how this can interact with factors in your life。It also cl es with a section on teaching you how to shuffle and how to draw different readings。I’ve already said it but it’s great to start, it does not go into so much detail that you will confuse but enough for you to get to know each card well enough to interpret your reads。 。。。more

I love the imagery of this deck to death but there are definitely a few things to point out about it that could use improvement。I bought this as my first tarot deck but couldn't work with it for a couple of reasons: 1) The booklet has a very bare-bones explanation, it could definitely use a bit more information especially for beginners。 This is definitely targeted towards people that already have some tarot use/study background。 2) There was nothing on the selling description of it indicating w I love the imagery of this deck to death but there are definitely a few things to point out about it that could use improvement。I bought this as my first tarot deck but couldn't work with it for a couple of reasons: 1) The booklet has a very bare-bones explanation, it could definitely use a bit more information especially for beginners。 This is definitely targeted towards people that already have some tarot use/study background。 2) There was nothing on the selling description of it indicating what type of tarot this is。 This is a Marseille tarot deck and I only realized this once I decided to get another deck to study, which was a RWS and I noticed the position of the Strenght and Justice cards were mixed up。 Maybe I saw this wrong but they could really use a warning。。。 ; 3) Not very beginner-friendly in general。 The lack of information on the booklet, the lack of indication on the type of deck along with the sometimes confusing imagery makes this hard to work with if you're just starting。I'd recommend you get the deck if you like the artwork and would like to have it as a collection piece- it is definitely worth it for that - and to use if you are somewhat experienced in tarot reading。 。。。more

This is my go-to deck, I just wish the descriptions were fuller。 I usually pair this with the Biddy Tarot explanations for reverse cards。

Love the simplicity and bluntness of this deck。 The art is stunning! I found it all easy to understand as a new reader。

A great beginner book and deck for those wanting to learn。

This is a lovely tarot deck with vibrant illustrations。 The artist created the pack in a way that can relate to anyone that decides to pick up the deck。 The cards also shuffle easily and do not stick together, so the user should not have an issue with the practical side of this deck。 However, if a beginner chooses this deck, they may have some issues, mostly with the book。 Tarot can be interpreted however the creator chooses, but some of the explanations of the cards are a bit biased and focused This is a lovely tarot deck with vibrant illustrations。 The artist created the pack in a way that can relate to anyone that decides to pick up the deck。 The cards also shuffle easily and do not stick together, so the user should not have an issue with the practical side of this deck。 However, if a beginner chooses this deck, they may have some issues, mostly with the book。 Tarot can be interpreted however the creator chooses, but some of the explanations of the cards are a bit biased and focused on what the author specifically sees them as。 This can confuse a beginner because tarot is intended for the user to be able to interpret the cards with their own meaning。 The book also does not go into great detail about each card, which can make this seem like a difficult process to a beginner。 The creativity and inspiration of the deck is what makes the cards quite astounding。 But it is recommended to beginner with a Rider-Waite version of cards and a more detailed book before diving into a deeper and more complicated deck。 The cards are great for beginners but the book is not。 The set all together does work well for someone that has had experience reading Tarot。 。。。more

3 stars only for the guidebook, the deck is absolutely magical and amazing!!

Mariah

Fun and pretty tarot deck。 The guidebook as many others have mentioned gives minimal information。 I would recommend this deck to intermediate tarot or any beginner tarot reader alongside another deck。 I enjoy using this deck often in readings, however I normally work with reverse meanings and this deck advises against that (nothing wrong with that), just different ways to read the cards。 This deck has a very upbeat tone。

Kelly Green

In love with this tarot deck and have a deep relationship and understanding with the cards and imagery。

Robert Andrew Colin Hadley

Explains the cards really well, easy to follow。

Anthony Golden

This is a great deck。 Every time it calls to me, the most beautiful readings happen。

This a simple but lovely beginners guide to basic tarot and their meanings。 Perfect for someone just getting started without being too overwhelmed!

Pretty cards and easy to understand for beginners。 The art work is amazing。

A helpful intro to get me started! I'll definitely want to read more to get a wider view of tarot but this was very aesthetically pleasing, answered a lot of my initial questions, and will be helpful to reference until I've found my footing。 My only criticism is that it is very specific to this particular tarot deck and reflects the way the author hopes new readers will interact with the deck even where it is clear there are other interpretations not being explained (eg reverse cards are noted, A helpful intro to get me started!

A great deck for any beginner or someone who wants to work with cards in a simple format。 The deck is beautiful and I was drawn to this deck for quite some time。

Gabrielle Belisle

The cards are gorgeous and this is overall a good intermediate reader's deck。 It could use more detail, reversals, and maybe some discussion on why the cards were designed as they were, but it's a solid enough book to job your memory on meanings。 There are a few great spreads included as well。 The cards are gorgeous and this is overall a good intermediate reader's deck。 It could use more detail, reversals, and maybe some discussion on why the cards were designed as they were, but it's a solid enough book to job your memory on meanings。 There are a few great spreads included as well。 。。。more

Light on info, this could be a good intro to The Tarot。

Amber

This deck is a biggie out there for being simplistic, yet powerful。 That minimalistic type of shit。 My roommates has and adores this deck。 Note the court cards are Son/Daughter/Mother/Father as opposed to the norm, which lends a bit more gender binary energy than I want in my deck but some may enjoy that balance and modern feel。

Jennifer Garvey

Spectacular。 Love the art, and don't find it too dark at all。 I do find that I get better results doing larger spreads, rather than my go-to 3 card spread。 But a single, daily card works beautifully, too。 And I like the guidebook。 It's not a lot of info, but adds some nice nuances to the typical interpretations。 If you're new to tarot, you might want an additional book to use with this。 Overall, a magical and wonderful addition to the tarot world。 Spectacular。 Love the art, and don't find it too dark at all。 I do find that I get better results doing larger spreads, rather than my go-to 3 card spread。 But a single, daily card works beautifully, too。 And I like the guidebook。 It's not a lot of info, but adds some nice nuances to the typical interpretations。 If you're new to tarot, you might want an additional book to use with this。 Overall, a magical and wonderful addition to the tarot world。 。。。more

Like any Tarot guidebook, and any Tarot deck, the big takeaway here is a different perspective on the cards and their meanings。 Some of the definitions here are not so different from what I'm used to, while others are quite startling and have me either thinking deeply or scratching my head。 Particularly surprising were those definitions that went along with the "this card represents a X person with X hair and complexion" type meanings, something I've always eschewed, and they seemed out of place Like any Tarot guidebook, and any Tarot deck, the big takeaway here is a different perspective on the cards and their meanings。 Some of the definitions here are not so different from what I'm used to, while others are quite startling and have me either thinking deeply or scratching my head。 Particularly surprising were those definitions that went along with the "this card represents a X person with X hair and complexion" type meanings, something I've always eschewed, and they seemed out of place in describing a deck that doesn't even have any human figures in its art。 The book itself is designed and printed in a way that makes it look like handwritten personal notes。 Whether it was the creator's intention or not, this gives me the feeling I'm reading first impressions of the deck, with the implication that there will be further nuanced meanings to come with practice and greater familiarity with the cards。The deck itself is beautiful, with art that is deceptively simple。 The style conveys a feeling of primal energy, almost as if the cards were a sort of proto-Tarot developed before ideas of royalty and pageantry seeped into the general consciousness。 This idea made the renaming of the Court cards into Daughter, Son, Mother, and Father easier to grasp for me。Overall, the deck and its guidebook feel exactly like the name: wild and unknown。 I feel like I'm getting back to nature, not far away from the cave。 I don't know what I'm getting into, but I relish in exploring the unknown。 。。。more
