spontaneous purchase and just what i needed
as most tarot users will tell you, they have more than one deck that they use and i am no exception. it is true that each deck has their own feel and, dependng on the moment of a reading, one will gravitate to the one that calls in that moment. this is a most unique deck. while some are put off by the extra cards in the deck, i feel they work, especially since there is such obvious care in the deck's creation. some have also criticized the art on the cards. i say that it is a very personal opinion and obviously, what works for someone may not work at all for another. at first i was a little disappointed myself until i started using the cards. then the explanations in the book and the cards themselves all came together. i could feel a very different and refreshing energy about these cards and they were, and are, just what i needed.

beautiful and easy to use
this is one of the most beautiful decks I have ever seen. I also appreciated the intricacy. I recommend this for serious tarot readers as opposed to the casual dabbler as it is a bit complicated ( I like that!)

Attractive
What originally drew me to this deck was the Empress card, known as The Mother Goddess card. The artwork is beautiful, and I found all the cards in the major arcana to be very attractive. The court cards are exceptional too.

I did have some difficulty with the minor arcana, but I am not an experienced tarot reader and there were not enough symbols to attempt any sort of meaning. I found myself constantly referring to the book. A more experienced tarot reader (or someone who has the meanings of all the cards memorized) would enjoy this deck, but I found it rather difficult to read with. What I did find interesting about the minor arcana was that if you laid the cards out in order they are actually taking you down a very obvious visual pathway.

The book itself is fun, and she has some interesting tarot layouts to try.

This is not a light and fluffy deck, and it gives readings that are no nonsense and forthright. And where I don't believe it's an easy deck for the beginning tarot reader I wouldn't let that deter anyone from trying it.... there's always the book to turn to.

Overall I have found this deck to give powerful readings, and have enjoyed working with it.
