Product Description

Built on the premise that we have the answers we need within ourselves, this classical tarot card deck combines Old World atmosphere with surprisingly modern faces. Demonstrating the evocative and universal qualities of human expression, this is the first set of divination cards to consist entirely of portraits—most looking directly at the viewer to form a connection between the reader and the card. Each visage conveys an easy understanding of the cards unique meaning, allowing the deck to be used straight from the box without any special knowledge. Complete with a straightforward and informational booklet, the rich, dark colors and sumptuous costumes brings an antique look to this set based on the popular Rider-Waite-Smith card style.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Touchstone Tarot may be one of the most accessible decks to date. We don't have to think about meanings, or refer to a weighty tome telling us what the cards mean—the figures in the cards tell us everything we need to know."  —Dan Pelletier, Tarot Garden



"The Tarot is all about the journey of individuation . . . this deck has traversed its very own journey of individuation that is, I believe, unparalleled in any other deck."  —Aeclectic Tarot

Gorgeous5
I got this deck early last week and am blown away by the beauty of the images. Kat Black has done a stunning job collaging together old paintings by the masters. It is just so beautiful to look it, I never want to put the cards away after a reading. The little box they come in is wonderfully done, too. Kunati did a stunning job with this. Finally a deck that is as beautiful as I'd hoped for. I can't say enough about it, Kat, there's nothing else in my collection of over 50 decks that even comes close to this. I may have to buy another one just to look at, or frame some of the cards.

Golden Dreams & Jewel-Inspired Cards5
Kat Black has designed a new Tarot deck - all hail the Queen! Truly one of the most beautiful and unique tarot decks I have ever used. Using this deck is like taking a trip to an art gallery, each card is a painting within a painting. I now use this deck in all my professional readings as well as with my students due to the intuitive nature in which they were created - they literally open a doorway to greater intuitive understanding of the Tarot. My students love this deck because they can begin to read for themselves instantly. The mesmerising faces found within The Touchstone Tarot are extremely expressive and literally feel like familiar friends as they urge you to look deeper into the patterns and relationships of your life. The heavy gold gilt edged cards feel solid and reassuring in your hands. A beautiful job Kat, a satisfying Tarot deck in every way.

Elegant Tarot Images5
I just received my new Touchstone Tarot Deck and am very impressed! Kat Black has done it again! I also have her Golden Tarot Deck which I recommend highly for rich, colorful, & easy to recognize Tarot images for beginners and the more experienced devotee alike. The new Touchstone Tarot is a bit more for the advanced reader, but well worth buying. Each image has been carefully selected to convey the meaning of the card through the eyes of the master portraits. I find it a more personal deck, many of these Mediveal portraits are people you feel you know. The cards are large, and trimmed in gold, a bit more challenging to handle since they are sized larger than typical playing cards. But if you want a thoughtful and inspiring Tarot experience you can't find a better deck. For the collectors: I think these are frame-able art cards and intend to buy another deck to display in my study. I still love my Golden Tarot which has more reds and golds, but this darker Touchstone Tarot may be my new favorite! Thank you Kat Black!
