I bought these first before buying the larger set of cards. I love these so much I'm about to buy a back up copy or two. I don't use them as playing cards but as tarot cards on their own or as clarifiers for other regular tarot decks. They are so spot on and at first it seemed confusing how I will know which card to choose for the doubled up cards but you will know. Sometimes I am drawn to the major arcana or the minor arcana in one card. And you find it really doesn't matter because you still get accurate readings. I love that they have a gold and navy blue version. I use the gold as the surface energy and the navy blue when I want to find the subtext or unseen energies in a situation. This was such an original and unique idea but it really works. The cards I assume are thinner than the larger version but they are very durable feeling with a linen surface. A nice touch is that the gold ink is actually metallic with a low sheen so when you turn some of the images it changes. I also love the box as a very sturdy but small, elegant and portable set. If you don't want people to know you are doing tarot this would also be a good set as they are so small, discrete and look like playing cards.

Seriously, I wasn't expecting a lot, but now that I have it, I'm amazed. The texture from these cards really feels great. The handbook has clear instructions and meanings. I will truly enjoy doing tarot card readings with these.

I already own the much larger cards, "The Illuminated Tarot" by the same artist. I absolutely loved that deck. The playing cards are much smaller and thinner though. The plus for me, is that this comes with two decks in light and dark artwork. They can be used for playing cards or cartomancy and would be handy for travel. And yeah, it still has the lovely artwork for every card that one rarely sees in regular player decks. There is also a system here that works well for get-to-the-point Tarot/cartomancy readings. The minus for me, the cardstock seemed thinner than the Illuminated Tarot. Almost too thin for my tastes. And the smaller size definitely feels awkward for me when shuffling. That isn't a riff on the quality of the deck. After playing around with them, and learning how to shuffle I upvoted my original rating from 4 to 5. This deck was a good buy and fits my purposes well enough. :-)

I love the colors of these cards. I bought both the playing cards and the tarot deck not fully realizing that the images on the playing cards were the same as the ones on the tarot cards only monochromatic. I must have missed the picture of the cards showing the images on them near the bottom of the description page because I wouldn't have purchased the tarot deck as I much prefer the colors of the playing card deck. All I thought was "playing card deck" which is quite different from "tarot deck" (and I knew that the Illuminated Tarot was is a different kind of tarot deck). Also, a regular deck of cards has two jokers; this deck has just one. Why not two?! The rules for the card games and the tarot spread are very ordinary--in hindsight, that turned out NOT to be a selling point. All in all, I recommend this set of playing cards!

These cards come up as regular playing cards in dark color background and light color background but that is not all they are meant to be. This deck is perfect for Tarot readings as it has the Major Arcana and most of the pips except for the pages. It's a lot like Caitlin Keegan's other deck, the Illuminated Tarot which much of the same cards. I love it. I think it's a gem. Well made, perfect size, card stock and shuffles well. I like to use the combo for light and shadow readings for myself which has worked very, very well.

Beautiful cards and well detailed. Even the little box is pretty to leave them out if you want. The card stock is light and easy to shuffle. I’m going to approximate the same card stock as a usual Bicycle deck but not produced by the same company. My hands are small and it’s easy for me to shuffle them. The instructions are on the back of a fold out style pamphlet and easy to understand.

That tells you that I love these cards. At first I used the two deck separately but as I was doing readings online regularly it made sense to combine them. That is a really great system on its own as it has the clarifier cards built in with the second deck added. It also has a sun and a moon side so you can use it to indicate various things depending on how you do your readings. The thing with this combined major arcana system is that it does push you to trust your intuition and pick out the story but it also gives you more places to pull meanings and messages from when you have the combined card. I like to use this combined deck on its own or to clarify a regular tarot deck.

I liked the original deck but it was far too big and the stock too stiff to enjoy working with the cards. These are the right size, are easily shuffled, and just feel good in the hands. I like the idea of mixing traditional tarot with a regular deck. For tarot purists, these and the original are not the decks for you—probably why they renamed them in this iteration. I have a collection of dozens of decks but find this one to have a nice twist on tarot mixed with old fashioned playing cartomancy.
