Gorgeous cards, beautiful book

I love this deck! The artist takes you on her journey of her artistic progression through the artwork on the cards. It's an enlightening reminder to value progress not perfection, in the best possible way.

This deck is beautiful and has a rich range of cards, key words, and meanings. It reads so beautifully you don't necessarily need to book. I love the art. The card stock is sturdy and the boxed set is elegant.

OMG  These cards are so beautiful.  I plan to use them as Oracle cards as I know nothing about I Ching.  The meanings are on the cards.  The images are stunning.  I love the card stock too. It's not thick cardboard like many oracle decks.  The cards are good stock with some type of coating on them so they should last a long time.  The cards are larger than tarot.  I have small hands & traditional shuffling is difficult for me (even with tarot size cards)..  I do a vertical overhand shuffle which works for me.  If you are on the fence, these are fabulous cards.  I don't think you will be disappointed.

5/29/17 Update:  I am sending these beauties back. 2 of the cards have large white spots on the back like they were stuck together from the printer.  I didn't notice it in the beginning as I was so intrigued with the beautiful pictures on the front of the cards.  Also these cards sort of clump together & are really difficult to shuffle.  They may need some fanning powder or something on them to make them shuffle better.  The book & cards are so beautiful, I hated to send them back.

I absolutely love the illustrations! The lack of borders makes them even more awesome, and they are so colorful and clear! This deck is the perfect alternative to the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. There is still some roughness to the illustrations because they were block prints, but it has a very hand-made feel to it, and the rich smooth colors are gorgeous! When you shuffle them face-up, it looks like a comic book! (In a very good way). The quality of the card stock is pretty good (it is published by US Games), but the waxy coating can make them kind of slippery if used on a wooden or metal tabletop. With a textured cloth they would be fine.

I really like the fact that there are a few people in the deck who aren't white (although, really, there could be a lot more), and that the Pages are kind of androgynous/gender-neutral.

I've already played with them and done some readings for other people, and they work so well with me. They are always quite clear in their meanings and easy to interpret. If they came with a book they would be the perfect beginner's set because of the lovely illustrations (for beginners I highly recommend anything by Juliet Sharman-Burke or Rachel Pollack). I plan to use these for public readings because of their friendliness and clarity. The card backs are bright blue with white stars, and while the illustration isn't exactly reversible, it's just a pattern so at a glance you really can't tell if they're upright or not.
All around, these cards are a classic deck, and really worth the price!

Gorgeous and beautifully designed cards. I use these for meditation and absolutely love these oracle cards! Keep in mind that these are not tarot cards, but oracle cards which are meant for guidance and self-reflection rather than foretelling fortunes of the future. This particular deck is the largest that I've ever had and I do find it different to work with cards that are so much bigger than my palm. They are wonderful though and I am so happy to have made this purchase. They arrived pretty fast too! Thank you!

I plan on buying these cards from Amazon after I found 5 samples of the cards at the publisher.  The photos are beautiful as well as the inspiration and insightful sayings. Thought I'd share it here because samples of the cards are hard to find on google.  http://www.tarcherbooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Blessings-5Cards.pdf

This has to be one of the nicest and most attractive Tarot card/book sets available, and features beautiful color graphics & packaging. The only defect for me(personaly)is the card images themselves- they are done in a sort of primative, kindergarden-art type rendering(similar to the Barnes&Noble Tarot set by Johnthan Dee). I believe it actually could have been perfect if the card images were rendered in a more relistic vein, or simply printed copies of the classic "Marseille" deck. Even the card backs are beautifully printed to match graphic patterns on the package. Just feel it could have possibly been better, but still it's a very nice set. Available at some Barnes&Noble bookstores.

These cards are beautiful! I personally have connected with them quite well. The handbook is very informative. I actually learned quite a bit about mermaids from it. The art work is just amazing. About two years ago I purchased 'The Oracle of the Dragonfae' and I connected with it quite well too! But the mermaids are just amazing! I highly recommend it!

Beautiful, beautiful images. Colette Baron-Ried makes beautiful decks. I'm a big fan of her oracle decks, and the tarot deck does not disappoint. For tarot fans out there, here are a few things to know about this deck:
1. The cards are THICK. This deck stands a bit over a centimeter taller than standard-sized Morgan Greer deck. This makes them slightly different to shuffle, but I've found putting a slight curve in the cards helps. The dimensions of the cards are pretty similar to her oracle decks, a little wider and a little shorter than usual tarot cards.
2. The suits are elements: Fire instead of Wands, Water instead of Cups, and so on.
3. The court cards are Page, Messenger (instead of Knight), Queen, and King.
4. The imagery on the cards is significantly different from standard Rider-Waite imagery. This can be a lot of fun if you like to try intuiting from new images.
5. Each suit has a strong color through-line that matches the element (aqua blue for water, brown for earth, etc.)
6. Some of the Major Arcana have differing names that move in the direction of a thematic element typical to the card. For example, Death is called Transformation, Temperance is called Patience, and The Devil is called Temptation.
I have been looking for a new deck, one that feels more new-agey-positive and less arcane-diabolically-occultish, and this one fits the bill and then some. I had purchased the Happy Tarot, which is delightful, but somewhat cartoonish and felt more immature than what I was looking for. I had bookmarked the Starchild Tarot, another visually gorgeous deck, but fate prevented me from getting that by causing me to miss both release dates. Clearly I was meant to wait for this deck. I absolutely love it!

Quite simply one of these most beautiful deck of Tarot cards I've ever seen. The attention to detail that went into making them was a labor of love. These weren't simply printed and stuffed in cardboard box to be sold mass market, these were meant for those Tarot collector's, Tarot practitioners, card collectors and history afficionados who want a quality product and these will not disappoint. The box is heavy stock, the cards themselves have a nice finish to them. When you open the box, you will see two information cards, one in English, the other in French, both numbered by hand indication which in the limited run of 3000 you own. I have deck #128. I love these cards so much I'm tempted to get a second deck for display. Definitely worth it.

I love this deck. The images on the cards are very beautiful and portray the cards well. The Swords have lovely rich bluish-purple tones that are nice and colorful. The Pentacles(Coins and Discs in other decks) have mainly golden and red earthtones. The Wands have soft blue and golden tones. The Cups mainly have blue and lavendar colors with greens and earthtones. The Majors are very colorful with every color you can imagine. The only cards that have the names on them (Death, The Moon, etc.) are the Majors and the Minors only have the number and suit(9 of Swords, Ace of Cups, etc.). This is no problem though, because like I said, the images represent what the card is very well. There are two extra cards that have a spread on each of them..Llew's Spread and Red Dragon Spread.
The thickness of the cards is similar to regular playing cards, but not so thin that I would be afraid of ripping them easily. The cards are slippery, but I like this because it makes shuffling and spreading them easy. Be careful they don't slip away from you though until you get the feel of them. The book has shorter "to the point" descriptions with history as well and is a good companion book. The book and deck come in a good quality box that opens almost like a book and includes a lovely reddish golden bag with beads hanging from the bottom of it and golden tassles on the drawstrings.
I am very satisfied with my purchase of The Llewellyn Tarot and would recommend it for everyone.
