    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Tarot Read!, April 19, 2012
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Tarot Basics (Kindle Edition)
    This is a good choice for someone starting out at point zero. What I like about this eBook is rather than giving a list of meanings for each card (which you can get anywhere), the reader is instead encouraged to observe and explore their feelings along with possible story lines to really help them know the cards. Wonderful job Janet!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to Tarot Cards, April 27, 2012
    This review is from: Tarot Basics (Kindle Edition)
    I am a tarot newbie. I tried reading another tarot book by a different author for beginners and felt overwhelmed by the information provided in the book that I couldn't finish reading it.

    Janet Boyer's book Tarot Basics is a short ebook (roughly 32 pages) and provided fantastic information about the history of tarot, what the major and minor arcana mean and the meaning of the different suits, etc. I enjoyed reading about the different ways to use tarot for creative writing and also about basic spreads.

    I really enjoyed reading this eBook! It was a really interesting read! I just love Ms. Janet Boyer as it is, but this eBook is just great! I really learned a lot from it, things that I did not even know. I recommend this eBook to anyone that wants to learn more about the Tarot, whether you are a beginner or advanced. You can never learn too much! :)

    The Gilded Tarot (Book and Tarot Deck Set) Best Price

    The Gilded Tarot (Book and Tarot Deck Set)

    Product Description

    The Traditional Tarot for the 21st Century

    Most Tarot decks with really spectacular designs are really just art collections. The Gilded Tarot transcends this limitation by having some of the most strikingly beautiful art on any Tarot deck, yet follows the Rider-Waite-Smith model. The result is a unique deck that any person with some Tarot experience will find instantly familiar and usable. This deck can be used with any Tarot system or book.

    You really must see the cards to believe their beauty. The High Priestess dances on water in a translucent dress of stars. She bends backwards in front of a crescent moon, looking like a classic lamp from the 1920s. The Wheel of Fortune shows the zodiacal wheel around a solar center as part of a bizarre, almost alien machine. The Hanging Man follows this machine concept, but he is dressed in brilliant reds and greens.

    The colors are deep and intense, almost metallic. They draw you in and will have you staring at the images repeatedly. But this is more than a deck to look at, it's a deck to use! The Gilded Tarot Companion, a full book by Tarot expert Barbara Moore, is included with this deck. It's a complete introduction so that even a beginner can use this deck right away.

    If you're tired of the old style of the RWS deck and its imitators, if you're looking for a familiar deck that will take you into the future, this is the deck you want to use.

      4.0 out of 5 stars Easy To Use and Beautifully Illustrated, August 25, 2004
      By 
      This review is from: The Gilded Tarot (Book and Tarot Deck Set) (Paperback)
      First of all, let me say this is a beautifully illustrated deck. The graphics are stunning, realistic in the artistic approach and well thought through. There is no difficulty in understanding what the artist had in mind when he designed these cards. The imagery is clear as well as beautiful to look at.

      The suits are visibly distinguishable, as opposed to other decks. Even if you are not sure, the Minor Arcana are clearly identifiable by a color 'jewel' at the top of each card, red for wands, blue for swords, yellow/gold for cups and green for pentacles.

      The deck is based on the Rider-Waite deck, with 22 Major Arcana cards and the Minor Arcana comprised of 10 numbered cards and 4 court cards each. Ciro Marchetti maintains the Page, Knight, King and Queen court cards rather than changing their associations as many recent decks have done.

      The reverse design is a 'jeweled' motif reminiscent of a sunburst, and is not too busy or distracting... Read more

      Moonchilde (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
      This review is from: The Gilded Tarot (Book and Tarot Deck Set) (Paperback)
      Although I have long been interested in the tarot, this is the first deck I've ever bought, and it was the deck itself which was responsible. It really drew me to it, from the first moment I saw it. It's visually rich and stunning, yet at the same time, for me at least, warm and welcoming. Looking at the individual cards, I can get lost in them. For whatever reason, they speak to me, and that is apparently the most important criteria for choosing a deck, or rather, letting a deck choose you. This one really did. For some odd reason, although the faces are computer-generated, they seem more real and 'human' to me than in many other traditionally created decks I've seen. They seem like real people, which I find fascinating. I almost expect some of them to pop off the page and come to life. To me,the 'machineries' the artist includes do not disrupt the intricate warmth of the figures and symbolism, but meld seamlessly and charmingly. I in no way felt this was a 'cold' or... Read more

      This review is from: The Gilded Tarot (Book and Tarot Deck Set) (Paperback)
      Featuring vibrant images that straddle worlds mechanical and magical, as well as ancient and futuristic, The Gilded Tarot is a visually sumptuous deck created by award-winning digital artist Ciro Marchetti. Modeled after the Rider-Waite deck, the cards follow the traditional renderings of both the Major and Minor Arcana. Polished metal, silken garments and ethereal space-scapes unite to tell the time-honored tale of the Tarot.

      The Minor Arcana is fully illustrated, and just as much care has been taken in their rendering as with the Majors. I always enjoy seeing this in a deck, especially since the Minors are often treated as an afterthought. The outer edging of the cards is black, while a golden bejeweled frame encloses the central image. The jewel-like accoutrements are color-coded thusly: Black for the Majors, blue for the Swords, green for the Pentacles, red for the Wands, and orange for the Cups.

      The 150-page companion book by Barbara Moore provides solid... Read more

        I pre-ordered The Wizards Tarot back in December 2010 with great anticipation, this deck does not disappoint. The Wizard Tarot is the intellectual creation of respected tarot author Corrine Kenner and is manifested by artist John J. Blumen.

        The Wizard Tarot is a magic themed tarot deck where witchcraft and wizardry is the focus of the deck. Set in the mythical world of Mandrake Academy a magical school where you are a new student learning the ways of magic. Each of the Major Arcana cards is your new professors, teaching each their own magic subject. The Minor Arcana are fellow students. Each of the four suits represents four schools of magic. Which are, fire magic, water magic,... Read more

        3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Deck but some flawed information, June 15, 2011
        By 
        This review is from: Wizards Tarot (Ring-bound)
        I was very skeptical about this tarot deck when it first came out because of it's obvious "Harry Potter" looking theme. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how detailed and beautiful the art work was. I've just started slowly working with the deck and recently began reading the accompanying book. There is a lot of good information so far on the colors/planetary associations, Hebrew letters and their meanings along with thorough explanations on the meaning and symbolism in great detail. I really wanted to give this deck a 5 star rating however, I have already found some serious errors of information in the book that while may appear to be simple, are in fact large mistakes especially in light of their basic knowledge. For example, in the book it is explained that the wheat growing in the card symbolizes Persephone and says that she is the mother goddess who makes the earth barren when her daughter goes missing. Perhaps this is a typo, I sure hope it is. Most any Witch knows... Read more

        5.0 out of 5 stars A Unique Curriculum in Tarot Magic, March 28, 2011
        This review is from: Wizards Tarot (Ring-bound)
        With hundreds of decks in my collection, I'm someone who really appreciates any attempt to do something fresh and heretofore unseen in tarot. And the Wizards Tarot by Corrine Kenner, with illustrations by John J. Blumen, doesn't disappoint.

        Set in the Harry Potteresque world of Mandrake Academy, the Wizard's Tarot is all about magick. Blumen's skilled illustrations create a unique world of scholarship, mysticism and fantasy. Although the images are based on RWS symbolism, nearly all of the 78 cards incorporate some new element to freshen up the traditional imagery, while still maintaining the familiarity of tarot's master deck. Many of the cards go even further, presenting a new and unexpected approach to traditional symbolism.

        Corrine Kenner, one of the tarot world's most popular authorities, has created a book... Read more
