Customer Reviews

A very beautiful feminine deck
The art on these cards are truly beautiful. Thay are like the stained glass windows of a church. The cards are very jewel like in color, not pastels - very rich and vibrant. Each card easily tells it's own story. I feel that this deck is truly a woman's deck, not only due to the pictures on the cards, but the size of the cards as well. This deck fits easily in my hands, making dealing so much easier. Some decks are too large for me to handle comfortably. I highly recommend this deck it belongs in every woman's tarot card collection!

Romance isn't just girl stuff!
The beauty of a feminine deck created by a male artist is easily visible. In my experience, The Art Nouveau Tarot allows me to concentrate on the romantic questioner. Although I choose more traditional decks when asked more general questions, the stories and images in this deck are perfect for reading romantic love.

Pretty but rather simple
The images in this deck are really all stained glass in very intense, super saturated colours, the images are very basic.
This deck is extemely Rider Waite based so if you know the basic tarot deck reading this one will give you little no troubles, but the images on the cards are rather sparse and so really pick up more on the emotion that the card creates.

Pure intuitives would love this deck. As the colours create a feeling and the lack of symbols do not get in the way of leading you in another direction. These cards allow you to read as you feel.

I think this deck is perfect for those either unused to the tarot, (and so a good starter) for those who love the colours. It is a very gentle introduction to the cards accentuating the colours more than anything else.

On the downside, there are very few symbols here and so this is best either for people who love the colour intensity or prefer that. An example is Staves (Wands) are red for courage, Cups blue for water, Swords purple for our Higher Self. and Coins for the golden earth.
