Firstly, I'd like to say I'm more of a tarot collector than an active practitioner (given inexperience) so please read with a lil grain of salt in mind. With that out of the way, I am in love love with this deck. Superficially, the art is astounding and colorful with vibrant depictions of a number of ethnic groups and cultures. There is no shying away from the richness of skin color and portrayal of clothes and fabrics associated with each individual group. I'm not 100% sure about how accurate the depictions are, but the inclusivity is 110% better than most mainstream, white-washed decks that one would typically find. Also, the cards (and stories associated) are LGBTQ inclusive for those looking for a little bit of that. I adore the finish of the cards because I simply have a hard time shuffling cards without a little grip (I have butter fingers). I also really like the linen texture to the cards, giving it a more multi-sense experience for me as a tactile person. For me personally, I already knew more than half of the folktales/myths/lore associated with each card, as well as simply knowing about the Raider-Waite deck in general. HOWEVER, the combination of the two makes it so much simpler for me to get a read off of. Initially, some of the associations were a little off to me, but if you really understand the point of the stories associated, it can make for a much deeper connection to the meaning of the card as a whole. But also, the whole thing is up to your interpretation--so really, it's whatever you like. That being said, it is really helpful to actually know the stories. The book associated with the cards is helpful, but unfortunately still very surface level--and it doesn't break down some cultural aspects that are tied to the stories. If you don't have a deep understanding or emotional tie for some things/concepts that aren't translated well between East vs. West, it can be confusing/feel like a wrong match. You might have to do some extra research. If you're looking for a "quick-and-easy" pretty deck that you can simply read like any other standard RWD, I don't think this is the one. If you ARE someone who appreciates lore and exploration of culture to a deeper depth of understanding and don't mind researching and looking up the information and ties to each individual culture, then I think this deck is a beautiful, multi-learning experience. Tying the stories to the cards and back really helped me learn more about both and I find that to be such a wonderful way to strengthen my appreciation and curiosity for both. TL;DR If you're a myth nerd and love tarot, you'll probably like it. If you want a sleek aesthetic deck, just be ready to do some research or you may not enjoy.

these cards are, very simply, gorgeous. the artwork is deft, subtle, rich, and evocative. the selection of folk or fairy tale for each card is apt, often stunningly so. i was expecting something pretty and appealing to my love of global tales, and not necessarily deep or resonant for doing actual readings. i collect artistic tarot decks, so that was fine. but i was blown away by the genius of art plus tale selection here; to say it "exceeds expectations" is a massive understatement. and yes...you can read with it, as it follows the basic waite-smith deck conventions. if you are not familiar with the folk or fairy tale on a card, you may need to consult the accompanying booklet for clues and/or (even better) look up the tale referenced. i have spent my life studying fairy tales and folk motifs, so i was familiar with most of the images on sight. even so, there were a number of less familiar ones i needed to reference, and that is great---i learned something! it's a truly global deck, with tales and figures spanning the world both geographically and in time; everything from gilgamesh to john henry. i felt a special joy on recognising tam lin as 'strength', and seeing vasilisa as the 9 of wands. and i found the choice of sedna for the 10 of swords poignant and appropriate. i found the card stock to be no worse than expected for the price point, and the textured finish is fine. my cards were well-printed, with no evident over-runs or errors. the box is sturdy and well-designed. the accompanying book is more than adequate to enjoy and use the cards. i didn't expect a full synopsis of every tale, and the brief explication provided for some of the tales less commonly known in western/euro-centric societies was perfectly adequate. as i said, it's easy and enriching to look up anything unfamiliar. apparently there is a book created to go along with this deck, and i absolutely intend to check that out soon, but it's not a necessity. i loved the deck specifically because these are not the toothless, pastel, disney-fied tales, but rather the complex, often ancient, stories of our common human heritage. life is a tapestry of dark and light, and old tales reflect that. the tarot, traditionally at least, also reflects this complexity. i am delighted that the artist was true to both tarot and tales in creating this beautiful, resonant deck. unreservedly recommended.

I pre-ordered this deck quite some time ago and am so excited to finally have it in my hands. The imagery in these cards are absolutely stunning. The box, as another reviewer mentioned, is pretty big, but it is beautiful and for anyone who wants to display it amongst their collection will welcome its grandeur (I hope). The cards themselves are printed on very sturdy cardstock (perhaps linen cardstock as someone else mentioned), and has a canvas-like texture. In my opinion, this adds to the artistic feel of the deck. The themes depicted are varying in culture, color, and beliefs. There is no singular focus, but it works so well. I appreciate the guidebook, especially for those who are newer to reading tarot. It has basic definitions of what the imagery is based on, as well as simplified versions of the tarot "meanings." I did also buy their book released simultaneously, "Beneath the Moon." I only skimmed it this morning, but each page goes much more in depth for the artwork featured in the deck. It isn't a necessary purchase, but I would imagine that reading through it could provide some more insight into these cards' meanings than just the simple explanations in the guidebook. It will also be an interesting read to learn about myths and fairytales from other cultures! I am blown away by this deck in its entirety. The only thing I could have asked to be added, which does not affect my rating due to its frivolousness, would be for colored or gilded edges rather than white. But this usually adds extra production costs and thus creates a more expensive product. The deck still holds its own with white edges :)
