 Nice artwork stifled November 25, 2008
Akasha Chandler (USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I waited with anticipation for this deck to come out, watching it's progress on the artists website. The artwork is lovely, unfortunately you still need to go to the mentioned website to appreciate it. The cards have an awful greenish-brown border which makes the images smaller, so that much of the detail is lost. The colors also seem muddy in comparison to the original art. For instance on the Star card, the detail of the rocks is completely gone and looks like a black mass. On the 4 of cups card, there is a castle, burro and stag in the background but you need a magnifying glass to see them. Unfortunately, this is true of quite a few other cards. This could have all been fixed by Llewelyn, who should have eliminated the border entirely and perhaps even made the cards bigger. Barbara Moore is an excellent writer, but I find her "use your intuition" questions in place of the cards interpretation rather bothersome. This is an art deck, with design based on the artists aesthetics and the availability of stock photography. There is no huge deep meaning behind trivial details such as yellow flowers. Which is really OK; there are plenty of traditional Tarot decks where the details truly are significant, so if that is what you are looking for, this is not the deck for you.
 Paris Hilton Goes Goth November 19, 2008
Tamara deLaLuna (Kansas City)
I love Tarot decks, and I buy them as much for the artwork as for the divination. I adore my DruidCraft, Spiral, World Spirit, Victorian Romantic, and other decks. What drew me to this deck were the mixed-media/collage-style artwork and the positive reviews. Unfortunately, I disliked this deck immensely upon looking through the cards. The people appear disingenuous and disassociated from the setting in which they find themselves. All the people have stringy, frosted-looking hair. All are caucasian, most are blond, and all but one look to be under 25. I'm sure this deck would hit the mark with the 18-25 year-old angst-ridden, goth-leaning crowd. But for a 42 year-old mom who values diversity, this deck seems shallow and without heart. There is no vitality here. A few notable examples:
The Hierophant -- A young man looking sideways at something. He is either beckoning to someone or twirling his hair absentmindedly. He appears far too young to be wise about anything, and his countenance gives the impression of cunning and guile rather than "divine wisdom," as asserted in the accompanying book.
The Lovers - What in the world? David Bowie and Paris Hilton as wax mannequins, looking up at a wax mannequin moon or sun, it appears. No love here that I can see. No emotion at all, really.
Strength - Looks like a fashion magazine shoot. The lion looks bored, and the woman representing Strength looks more concerned with sexiness (with a "come-hither" playboy pose) than strength.
Other thoughts...
I like how the borders have torn-looking edges, but the yellowish-greenish-brown color of the borders is not attractive.
My set arrived MISSING two of the Queen cards and ALL of the King cards, and INCLUDING 13 DUPLICATE cards. So, if you get this set be SURE to go through all the cards.
This is not a set I will be keeping.
Beautiful deck October 25, 2008

The title of this deck really suits it. I was struck by how much the photos of cards available on the internet to advertise this deck really reminded me of my own dreams; because of that, I was pretty sure I would be able to interpret them without needing a book. Of course, when I did a reading, I checked my impressions against the book's descriptions, and they were the same.
This is one of the prettiest decks I have seen, and it does seem to read rather well, too. The other reviews here pretty much say it all. Like another reviewer, I wish the borders were slightly smaller, so the pictures could be larger -- but the borders are still lovely. My only real complaint is that the cards are very thin, and I feel I am going to have to be extra careful not to damage them or wear them out.
 Dreamy & Beautiful Tarot! October 6, 2008

I love this tarot deck--it is inspiring and beautifully done.
I own many tarot decks and this is one of my favorites. To give
you an idea of my taste, I really love the work of Kris Waldherr (Goddess
Tarot) and Karen Mahoney (Tarot of Prague, Victorian Romantic Tarot,etc).
I really like the Queens in this deck, especially the Queen of Cups.
Also, the Temperance card is lovely, and very evocative. There aren't
really that many decks that you want to use regularly, that really
speak to you, but for me this is one of the decks I USE and don't just
enjoy for the art work or the gimmick. That said, I DO think the artwork is exceptional, and touches the subconcious with it's poetic moons and
landscapes.
I recommend this deck, especially for women. There is something sensual in the images, and I think you will enjoy the journey and discoveries
that it will help you to explore.
A delightful deck October 3, 2008

I must like this deck I bought 4 sets, 2 for me & 2 for gifts
I can't say more than that about it - I'd not buy so many decks
if there was any part of it that didn't delight me
Love the gentle side but with that gentle side comes a tougher
side of the cards but none that I find revolting
Great book
