The Art Of Tarot

Purchased this kit online and been pleased with ever since I received it.Cards measure 3.25'x4.5''and are collaged artwork on back of cards with The Tree of Life. The Major Arcana of 22 cards are beautiful,clean artworked collages with a varied color bleed to the borders while the Minor Arcana of 56 cards use 4 different somber hues for each suit. The book has simplified meanings and spreads for the Initiate/Beginner to learn the Tarot card meanings quickly to make readings with querents to gain experience. However the cards are large and some may find shuffling and handling a bit awkward but practicing with these will limber the cards enough to make handling easier. I praise Ms. Liz Dean and Emma Garner for their creativeness to help the Novices ease into the Tarot reading experience. The Hardbound book is well bound which appears to withstand long term use.....Blessings

its not gloomy or downright malevolent like some others i've seen. this is the first deck I was immediately drawn to, it feels good, and am happy to be begining my tarot study with this deck. it includes a booklet with basics on cards and spreads (which makes it seem sipmler than i believe it to be, really). as i could see from other reviewers it's a good deck for beginners, so my feeling was right on track.

gives a great brief introduction and explanation of tarot reading. Card definitions brief and card spreads few, but excellent for beginners and those looking for knowledge and entertainment.
