Lisa Hunt's paintings remain soft and filled with as much mystery and subtlety as in her previous tarots. If you ever wanted an illustrated compendium of fairy tales at your finger tips, this is it. Each card demands close examination, as one is sure to miss interesting details at a cursory glance, such as the occasional faces in the woods. Fortunately, the cards are borderless avoiding cutting into imagery for this regular sized deck. The back of the cards are fully reversible portraying two old fashion keys pointing in opposite direction from a centric adornment. The cards in this deck are labeled at the bottom within an ornate scroll. The Major Arcana are numbered with roman numerals, but starting at 0 with The Fool, which had been renamed Innocence in this deck. In this regards, many of these cards has been renamed to follow the Fairy Tale Theme such as:...

You can add another level, by observing and using the symbolism present in the individual cards and combining this with the intuitive reading of the card. Then let's add yet another level and that is the fairy tales themselves. Fairy tales have lessons to teach and these can be used to produce a reading using the fairy tale message. Then of course, all of these levels can be combined with any of the others to produce yet additional levels of meaning and interpretation. Even someone with limited knowledge of tarot and symbolism can read...

It brings a new twist to the genre. Your daily tarot reading mixed with a fairy tale. For me, this is revolutionary. All ot the occult trappings are left behind for this little gem. Instead, you are presented with an image from a classic fairy tale. Many of the images were unknown to me. The book, which is written with wit and skill, is invaluable for reference. These archetypes are timeless and universal, with lessons for readers of any age. Yes, this is suitable for parents who get stuck for a new story every night. Perhaps one may pass this deck off as an erroneous tarot deck. This is not the case. It is important. There is a traffic jam of new contributions each year. Of course, a serious student/artist might find symbols that relate to the depth the meanings. This is honestly a new direction for both mediums. There have been other fairy tale/tarot decks, yet this one speaks to me... Read more |
