The Illuminated Tarot Cards – Illustrated, 1 April 2017

First the box is soooo good!! Card stock is amazing,they shuffle so well!! Images are so vibrant detailed. This isn't a deck for beginners because major arcana cards are put into minor arcana(thus reducing number of cards to 53). It might be confusing and tough to get used to it at first. But once you are comfortable with this,you will love it!! Its so good that now it has become my "go-to" deck for any queries. I'm loving it! Glad that i got one..if you are bored of RWS and its clone decks,try this..its amazing! No regrets whatsoever..♥️♥️♥️

This is my first tarot deck. I know the Ryder Waite is the standard beginners' one but hey. So I'll just write on the quality as I've zero experience of other decks and divining with them. The cards are pretty big. Most have written oversize here so I suppose they are. The quality is A-one and there is a colour booklet. And the cards come in a beautiful gold embossed clamshell box.

Beautiful thick and large cards inside a beautiful box. Extremely good quality for the price

Very interesting cards! I like how the author has blended a few Major arcanas with the court cards. I’ve also used them for readings and I quite liked them.

The main reason I brought this deck is for it paintings... Its extremely beautiful, especially if you like ethnic prints (its got the vibe of Madhubani paintings)...The cards are an inch larger in width compared to the RWS cards. They're sturdy and has a grainy texture. The box is very pretty. The book has extremely minimal descriptions which can put a beginner at loss for in depth meanings. The deck has 53 cards, ie., the Minor Arcana minus the Knights plus a Fool card. The suits are named as in a deck of playing cards- spade, heart,etc. The absence of Knights is a bit irksome for me (kinda makes me feel somethings missing in the deck). Also, Major Arcana references have been infused into the suits but mostly the corresponding minor arcana card doesnt sit with the meaning in the RWS card. So eg: Ace of Clubs is actually supppsed to be Ace of Wands but it is Strength card in this deck and therefore its pictorial rep doesn't sit the meaning of Ace of Wands. Therefore in effect you dont have an Ace of Wands in this infused deck.Its a deck you can have if you are collecting or you have an eye for decks that are aesthetically different.

The product is too good! But only for a person who wanna explore the unknown!

Amazing cards!, i love them!

It's a vibrant deck and makes me really happy as I shuffle which I find really easy. The linen like texture and size notwithstanding. Wish I could snip away the borders so bad though ! But the artwork spills over to the white in a majority of the cards.Update:Well I couldn't resist and received my 2nd copy today so I could go ahead and trim my deck without anxiety! ( The box is a real treat. And my humongous Ancestral Path tarot ..which comes in a tuck box..will live in the first copy' s box since the trimmed version can relocate to a nice little pouch. Double benefit!)
