These cards are beautiful.
Beautiful is an understatement they’re honestly so cute with the art work.
the stock of the card is sturdy.
The booklet it came with is so thick and has so much information.
It also came with a free tarot spread poster.
I have been wanting these for so long I’m happy I finally bought them they are worth the investment.
Can’t wait to work with them

Cards are a great fit for my hands! The art work rocks, beautiful colors. Adheres to RWS imagery, easy to read. Accompanying book is full color and large enough to utilize. Nice spread included. Highly Recommend!

Love this deck! Bought it as a gift for a friend. Beautiful illustrations, quality materials, awesome book comes along with it. Love the feels of the cards in my hand. Definitely recommend if you’re drawn to the imagery. Wonderful balance of “darkness” and light.

I adore this deck! It fits my needs perfectly. A few observations:
– There is no reverse description in the book
– My picture doesn’t do the back of the card’s design justice. There’s a lovely rose overlay that’s too subtle to catch in a quick cellphone shot.
– My deck came with 4 additional cards that were mixed in the deck.
All together I’ve found it to be a very positive deck and have greatly enjoyed the reads so far

Love the artwork. This is my second tarot deck, and I can only compare it with the Rider Waite deck. The deck is bigger, and the colors are matt. The guide book is very helpful, some of the drawings are very different from the RW deck. Glad I added this to my collection.

I adore this deck. The cards themselves are thick and can handle some serious shuffling. The box is great and seems to be very durable also. I was impressed by the book. I love the organization and ability to find cards quickly thanks to the black and white coloring along the sides of the book. The deceptions are short and sweet, but enough to jog your memory on each cards meanings.
This deck may not be the best for a first deck, but did seem to be heavily influenced by a traditional Rider Waite deck. Some cards, not so much.
I appreciate the fact that each card is numbered separately in the bottom left hand corner. The cards come in a wonky order. However, it’s the order the artist created the cards. You can actually see her progress and skill improve through each card. There are imperfections in the art here and there that were purposely left. They are small and you really have to check each card to even find any.
If you have any appreciation for neo traditional, this is a beautiful deck to grab. I will say that I also own the Ink and Intuition deck also. While it is a beautiful deck also, I find this deck to have more interesting artwork. I guess it all boils down to preference. I’m honestly surprised that with the quality of this deck, it’s not priced higher.

Estoy mas que encantada con este mazo, viene contenido en una caja de alta calidad y resistencia y cuenta en el frente con la foto del as de oros, la caja del kit mide 17.5x12x5.5cm y el ancho del mazo es de 3cm (mas de lo normal) aprox. contiene el libro del mismo tamaño de muy buena calidad con fotos a color y muy descriptivo, una hoja bastante grande y de muy buene calidad para una lectura y las cartas estan contenidas en el espacio exclusivo para ellas, OJO vienen 4 cartas duplicadas el 3 de copas y el 9 de bastos en blanco y negro y el 10 de copas y la estrella en color pero con diferente diseño cada una, asi que tienes la oportunidad de usarlas todas o escoger cuales usar. Las cartas miden el tamaño estandar pero mas gruesas que lo normal, son plastificadas de muy buena calidad y facil manejo, su originalidad, colorido y diseño es excelente y muy acorde al sistema del RW pero totalmente personalizado por el autor. Los diseños son de muy buen gusto y descriptivos pero lo recomendaria para usuarios intermedios a avanzados porque las imagenes no se ajustan totalmente a lo tradicional del RW. Me hubiera gustado una contraportada mas creativa ya que el diseño tan espectacular de los arcanos la amerita. En un principio dude en adquirirlo pero finalmente lo hice y en realidad estoy mucho muy complacida de haberlo hecho porque es un producto de muy buena calidad y me ha dejado muy buen sabor de boca. El mazo tiene una energía mistica, fluida y agradable en mi opinion, sin dejar de expresar cada arcano su verdadera intencion. Excelente opcion para un coleccionista.
Amazon Customer –
I had been wanting this deck for quite a while before it was on Amazon. I was so excited to see it on here and at a reasonable price. Great card stock. Beautiful imagery, and very sturdy box. Also came with a great guide book and info. The only thing I don’t love is the white borders. They sort of take away from the images. But nothing that bothers me that much. Thinking of trimming the borders though. Love the deck so much. Thank you!!!!

I have to admit that so far, I haven’t done any readings with these cards. I’m a total beginner with Tarot, and this is my first set, so I am taking it slow. At the moment I’m simply getting to know the cards one-by-one, as MANY have suggested, but I have to say that I’ve already connected with the cards.
I’ll share with you guys the moment which basically sealed it for me, though I won’t go into too much detail as it is a very personal situation which is taking place in my life at the moment. I was on day one of going through each card one-by-one, writing my thoughts about the card, the artwork, my prediction of what it meant, then looking up the actual meaning in the book, and adding that to my notes. I kept the cards in the order they came in because I didn’t want to see all the cards at once. Instead I wanted to be surprised, so I kept them in the artist’s order and sort of face-down so I don’t know what’s next.
I only got about 1/4 of the way through the deck before I decided to stop for the day. Later, *enter tense situation which I’ve been struggling with for months*. When I was alone and quite frazzled, I decided to see what the next card was, and if it would have any meaning at all in relation to my situation. I pulled the Six of Swords, and I nearly fell over when I read its meaning. And to me, it was blunt and obvious, no interpretation needed. The next day I was shocked to see that the next 2 or 3 cards following that one didn’t really relate to anything I’m dealing with (that I know of!), so it really resonated with me pulling that card at the moment I needed to see it.
In addition to that experience, I feel drawn to these cards, like they are now a presence in my life, and the excitement buzzing around inside me to get to know them, to “interview” them, to figure out where they’ll play a part in my spiritual journey is overwhelming!
I think this deck will be my favorite for a long while. I cannot wait to do more with them!
Sorry for the non-traditional review, but tarot cards are really non-traditional products.
Edit: I just felt I should add … The card stock is very nice. I love the matte finish. I haven’t tried to shuffle them yet, but as slippery as they seem just from handling them, I don’t think it’ll be an issue. The artwork is really beautiful and draws me in.
I’ll provide a more in-depth review once I’ve begun to use them in readings, so it may be a while.

At the moment, this is my go-to deck for doing my longer readings—I do one for each of the 12 signs and post them on YouTube, so if you want to, you can see the cards in use there; I did one a week ago.
From a visual/artistic standpoint, I love the work of the artist. From a reader’s perspective, I appreciate how she has kept close enough to the RWS imagery. Where there are diversions, the message really isn’t lost.
I’m posting the Two of Wands and World cards to show the beauty of her work; and I’m posting the Temperance and Judgment cards to show the two cards—only two out of 78 ain’t bad at all—that don’t carry the right message for me.
The cardstock is sturdy and more stiff than flexible, and the size is a tiny bit larger than is easy for shuffling, but that could just be me and my hands. 🙂
This deck, beyond just being beautiful, really speaks to me. I read with other decks as need be, but this has been my powerhorse. I love it.

This is a gorgeous tarot deck, highly saturated in rich colours and vivid artwork. The images are well detailed and full of symbolism with smooth well made cardstock that’s a dream to shuffle. The guidebook is well presented and highly informative, though no reversal meanings if you read that way. There are some duplicated cards but with different designs which the author has left in as I think they were cards from her early drawings. It comes in a large sized solid box also beautifully illustrated. Overall this is a magical deck.

This is a unique and beautiful deck. This is a full 78 card deck, with 4 bonus art cards included. Each card is labelled in the border so you can see what order the cards were drawn in (and see how the deck art changed/progressed as she got further into the project). The colours are bold and beautiful. The box is a hard two piece cardboard style, big enough to hold the deck and guide, but not so big to take up a ton of extra space on your shelf, which is nice. I have already seen a lot of pictures on instagram of this deck with the borders trimmed off, but I’m personally not that bothered by them. I am looking forward to doing some readings with these and see how they read, but my first impression is they are quite lovely to look at!
