| 41 of 42 people found the following review helpful  the most beautiful deck of tarot cards, By SC (US) - See all my reviews This review is from: Vision Quest Tarot (Cards) This tarot deck centers around Native American themes. Some of the card names are changed (e.g. the four suits become four elements) A small black-and-white intruction booklet is included. This is my favorite tarot deck of all. All 78 cards, including minor arcana are uniquely and beautifully illustrated with detailed and colorful scenes of people, animals, and nature.

It is published by AGM Agmüller in Switzerland, and distributed by U.S. Games in this country.The seventy-eight card pictures for this deck are all based on themes from the Native American Indian tradition. The artwork depicts Native American Indians engaged in traditional activities, and these pictures serve to define the meanings of the cards. Each of the pip cards has a single word printed at the bottom, and that is the meaning of the card. The meanings of the Major Arcana and court cards are contained in the instruction booklet. When I first started using this deck a few years ago, I had mixed feelings about it. I liked the earthly artwork and the spiritual quality of the card meanings, but I had difficulty doing intelligible readings with it.
