  • I am fussy about the card stock being at least decent and I will not put up with shabby lithography with today's ability to prin
About me and Tarot. Right now, I am a re-beginner. I used to be a very advanced Tarot reader in the mid to late 1960's when Tarot was making resurgence in popularity. I had the gift of being able to get the meanings from the card and tell the story the layout foretold for the questioners and doing it accurately. The deck I used at that time was a standard Rider-Waite and was a decent product for its time. I stopped reading the cards and haven't even thought about them for the past 50 years. My original deck is long gone. For some reason, almost a month ago I decided to start again. A detailed search led me to believe I would be unhappy with the basic Rider-Waite decks of today. I am fussy about the card stock being at least decent and I will not put up with shabby lithography with today's ability to print nice images. In my search, I found this Hanson-Roberts deck geared toward beginners. And here are the meat and potatoes of my review. This is the perfect deck for beginners. The images and colors are clear and crisp and the coloring stays within the lines. Although there is some of the small detail missing, I believe this is actually an advantage to someone just starting to learn. The images are close up and scream their story to the novice reader. As far as someone more advanced, they would work fine as a travel deck or a casual circumstance deck to do a reading. The box they come in is very sturdy and has a magnetic latch. So as the beginner grows and learns, another deck might get chosen later on, but this one will stay in use over time. The artwork is beautiful. The card stock is decent and should last for a long time. The card size is a little smaller than average but that makes shuffling easier. The images are less intense and will not frighten off the questioners you read for in the beginning who might not be all that well aquatinted with Tarot readings. The little book that comes with this deck is made very well. But it is not useful to learn Tarot reading from. You will still need a good teaching book or two. But once in a while, especially at the beginning, the key word approach of the little book can jog you into reading a particular card when you get stuck. As you progress, you will find little use for it. I was surprised how fast my reading abilities came back to me. Now that I have done a few good readings for people with this deck, I still appreciate it's qualities. I still have the gift and the ability to read the cards came flooding back. I still need to practice to get to the level I used to be at, but these particular cards were a great point to start again from. I have no doubt I will still be using them a lot. If you are a beginner looking for a quality product that you can learn to read from, I highly recommend this deck. Even after you learn, you will come back to them again. And again. And Again. ... show more

  • So great for beginners like myself!
Got one for my mom for christmas and my husband got one for me. Love the colors and art. I had another tarot deck but it didn't come with a little box and none of the minor arcana cards were labeled. Some of the minor arcana are self explanatory but some of them are rather ambiguous if you are new to tarot. The major arcana were in another language which made it harder for me to do a reading as a beginner. So since it didn't have a little box for easy carrying, I have to keep the loose cards in a satin bag I dug around for. The plus side on that one was it had a larger and more thorough guide. THIS set, however, is great! It comes with a little box for the deck, a bigger tin box, a mini guide and every single card is labeled so I can easily learn the deck and do quick readings. It is great for beginners like myself and my mom. Once i get the hang of it, maybe I can use my larger more obscure deck some day :) Great set, I love it and recommend it. ... show more

  • Love these so much
These are my go-to cards. I love the art! I used them with a family member and then bought them for myself. These will always be my first choice to go to. I love them

  • Good as a travel deck, but cardstock is definitely budget quality
I bought this deck for two reasons. 1) I wanted a more traditional deck, but I am simply NOT a fan of the Rider-Waite-Smith artwork. 2) I wanted a smaller deck that will be use primarily for traveling or just carrying around in my purse when I don't have room for my larger ones. For the budget price, this deck will certainly get the job done. The artwork is a close interpretation of the original RWS artwork, but the artist still shows their own unique style. It's a perfect size to fit in a purse or small duffel bag while traveling (but since it doesn't come with a smaller deck box or bag, I will have to purchase one for it). My main complaint is the cardstock. Normally I'm not one to nitpick cardstock quality, but this deck is the exception. The cardstock in this deck bends a little too freely for my liking, and I have to weigh it down with stones or crystals in order for it to stay flat most of the time - otherwise it takes on a slight bend. If you absolutely require heavy cardstock, then this is probably not the deck for you - but if you can look past that for the quality of the artwork, then you will probably be just fine with this deck. Bottom line - this will probably see most of its use as an "on the go" deck once I have a way to store it properly, and it's a good RWS-inspired deck without being an obvious clone. For the budget price, it's more than adequate. ... show more
