    • A Fairytale In A Box
Format: Cards
A very peaceful, tranquil, positive, rendition of the RWS Tarot Deck. Opening the deck is like opening up an old and beloved book of fairytales from one's childhood. This deck seems to be a place where magic might effortlessly occur. Just happen, at any moment. The images of the cards seem parts of an effortless story, without any of the cumbersome, overwrought, and often tedious theatrical staging of traditional Pam-decks. Revelation of human anatomical features, as traditionally occurs in RWS decks, is absent. So this might be a good deck to use when reading for sensitive audiences. (The figure of the Magician, though, does sport a shirt unbuttoned to his waist...oh, the temerity! LOL) The box this set comes in is quite well designed and sturdy. Very thoughtfully constructed. The book accompanying the cards is hardback, with dustjacket...a nice touch. The cardstock IS thin. This is the Achille's heel of this set. Not paper-thin, but definitely thin for a cardstock used in a Tarot deck. One must wonder why a publisher would make such a rookie mistake, while remaining so conscientious about getting everything else in this set so right. But, if one slows down, relaxes, and contents oneself with a gentle overhand shuffle, the cards cooperate quite nicely, and without damage. I would not personally risk riffle shuffling with this deck. Bent cards would be an inevitability. At least for me. The cardstock is not as robust as that typically encountered in a standard RWS production. Regardless, this deck, this set, is a little jewel. It may be that you owe it to yourself and your practice to acquire it for your Tarot treasure chest. Also, this set would make a very nice gift to a friend or tarot-minded family member on a holiday or birthday. ... show more

    • Great for beginners! Give it a try.
Format: Cards
If you are interested in getting into tarot card readings this would be a good starter deck for you. It's nothing fancy but very practical. If you don't care for a fancy deck and just want something to practice with you will like this deck. The box is smaller than expected but it doesn't matter because you do get a decent sized deck. I have petite hands and these fit well in my palms, it was fairly easy to shuffle. I had such a wonderful experience doing my first reading, it was easy to interpret the card meanings and then follow up on the messages coming through. The imagery is also really great I enjoyed the illustrations, they do help connect the dots and deliver a clear and spot on message. A lot of people mentioned some negatives but the positives outweigh the negatives in my opinion. It's not fancy but they are cute and I really enjoy them. I love the box it came with it's nice to also have the book for guidance. For the price these are definitely worth it! If your a beginner you will love them. ... show more

    • A Good Kit For The Money
Format: Cards
I chose this item out of curiosity, because it sounded interesting, and did not cost a lot. I liked that in included: a Tarot deck, a guide book, and a box to contain it all in....for $15.22. It arrived within 2 days of ordering, and was all that it claimed. The decorative box is covered with images from the cards, and has a magnetic closure, as well as an internal molded tray which contains the book in one area, and the deck in another. The cards come in a flimsy cardboard container, and are the 'Hanson-Roberts' deck...which is an interpretation of the RWS format. The artwork on the faces, and design on the backs, of the cards will appeal more to some, and less to others. The book is about the size of a european pack of cigarettes, and hardbacked, with a dust jacket. It has 111 pages which contain illustrations, and explanations, of the cards. Each 'chapter' is a couple of short paragraphs long,; one on the upright meaning of the card, and one on the reversed meaning of the card...for each of the 78 cards. As such, the book is a basic introductory guide to...not a full y detailed study of...the cards. The book also explains the basics of giving a reading, using both the ten card Celtic Cross spread, and the 7 card Horseshoe spread. The book is limited, but well written, and easy to understand. The title of the book is The Essential Book of Tarot. It is copyrighted 2002 by Peter Pauper Press, and illustrated by Mary Hanson-Roberts. The ISBN is: 978-0-88088-238-5. It is printed in China. The cards are copyrighted by U.S. Games System Inc. Whether they are a US firm, or a Chinese one, or whatever, is not revealed. The ISBN of the package-cards, book, and decorative box, is: 978-0-88088-248-4. The cards are flimsy, and difficult to shuffle, and easy to bend. I would not use these cards as my main Tarot deck, on a regular business, for fear of bending them beyond the point of usability. For occasional readings, with gentle handling, they can be used. My pack contained all 78 Tarot cards, and two non-Tarot cards used as advertisements, or mere decoration. This kit provides a good basic (very basic) introduction to the tarot, but is not an in-depth study of it. If you are not familiar with the Tarot, consider getting it. If you are already a Tarot adept, you may want a more detailed book, and sturdier cards, as you will probably already know what is is this book, and be prone to give frequent readings. This kit is worth the price I paid for it. The cards could have been sturdier, and the book more in-depth, but also could have cost more. I'm satisfied with it. As a book, and card deck, plus container, kit with 2 day delivery, for just $15.22 it works for me. ... show more
