Customer Reviews

NOt accurate but still good
This deck has too many errors to be regarded as a good copy of an original working GD tarot deck. Just check for yourself in Regardies tarot descriptions found in his volume "The Golden Dawn". Having said that it's still the closest one to a real GD deck that's available on the public market and is quite workable.

Sometimes Simpler is Better
I have found the simple artwork of this deck to be excellent for meditation and visulization exercises. There are certainly flashier decks around. There are certainly decks around that are more beautiful. However, I find this deck to be a highly useful tool. When I first got the deck to use with Kraig's _Modern Magic_, I admit that I didn't like it very much. Over time, the deck has grown on me. Robert Wang's book which explains the deck gives a clear introduction to the philosophy behind the deck.

It's the art I dont like ...
I cant testify as to the accuracy of the cards' symbolism (I havent gotten the appropriate books yet), but what I've seen gave me some insights.

The main problem I see with the deck is it's art, which, IMHO, is mediocre and to which I cant connect. It's a far cry from the art of Crowley's deck, and isnt as good as the art of Waite's "cartoonish" deck.
