Modern Spellcasters Tarot

Beautiful set of tarot, with classic Rider Waite format and card names, but in a fresh modern style and art work.The human characters in the set as a whole are diverse in many ways, including age, ethnicity, body type, gender, and so on. The symbolism of each card is not lost or overshadowed by this or the art work, as some themed tarot can fall victim to, but is in fact retained and complimented by it.I personally found this a very good tarot for me to work with after learning the basics from my Universal Rider Waite set.The cards and accompanying guide book come together in a sturdy and beautifully designed box.However, I feel it a _small_ shame a smaller separate box for the cards alone was not included. This means to transport them without scuffing I have to take the whole book+cards box, which though not much bigger than a VHS (or 4-5 DVD cases), a small separate cards only box would have been handy.That smallest of complaints aside, I am still very happy with my purchase, and look forward to practicing and reading with my set.

Why did I wait so long to buy this deck. The image's are stunning. Easy readable. Comes in a great sturdy magnetic box. With beautifully colour illustrated guidebook. Highly recommend to all tarot enthusiasts.

Love the book and the cards. Had the knock offs, decided to buy the higher quality cards. It comes in a firm box, nicely packed.

Favourite deck. Really connected instantly, I can't say how many decks iv bought, this deck really trumps them all. Such a good read too. Love love LOVE the diverse images too..

I love these tarot cards, the images and symbolism is so brilliant, this is a tarot pack which is a must for any tarot reader and especially anybody who is into magick/occult

I am an experienced tarot reader, and I like to collect decks which seem unusual. This one is certainly unusual. While most of the Waite-Smith images have been employed here, to some extent, I'm not sure I'm on board with some of the meanings that this deck conveys. I stress that this is a totally personal reaction, and others might find these images perfect for their needs.For example, I have always tended to read the Hanged Man as a 'new perspective,' based on the look of exaltation on the face of the hanged man, who is always depicted upside down in most decks. This deck not only shows the figure upright, but it's actually a coffin nailed to a tree! Just ...no.I'm not sure what a woman riding a lion in front of a lake with a burning object in the middle of it is all about, either. It's supposed to be 'Strength' but I'm not seeing it, as she's gazing upward at a knife in her hand, dopey expression on her face, while a frog swims in the lake, and etc.The Fool is shown actually stepping off a cliff. I mean, he's toast. He can't pull back, even if he looks down at his feet. He's a goner. Most of the decks show The Fool in a position where a wrong step COULD send the figure over a cliff, but this one actually has the Fool going over. So what does it mean if it appears in a reading? Beware of journeys? Don't be optimistic because you will fall?Death is just plain scary, with no hint of anything other than a horror to contemplate. The aura of inevitability which comes to all living things, which is the most basic element of the Death card, is simply missing here. The Death card should never be feared. It signifies the natural end of something which is no longer needed or wanted. This particular Death card, however, would send a querent scurrying for cover.The Star, in this deck, is a very intimidating image, that certainly doesn't convey the idea of hope or peace to me.Three of Cups shows three people falling into a pond? And etc.Some of the images are excellent, such as The Moon, Temperance, The Tower, The Lovers, to name a few. But there are just too many images that clash with the decks I'm used to using. I can't honestly see me using this deck. Perhaps if this was a person's first ever deck they could accomodate the meanings of these cards ...but I think I would just be bucking against them the whole time.I recommend them for card collectors who like 'different' cards. I also think the book has some interesting insights into general tarot ideas, and the section at the back which deals with a few different spreads is excellent. So I will recommend the set, with some reservations.You might love it. I simply enjoyed looking at the pictures, then put it away.

beautiful deck, probably my favourite

In my top 5 of Tarot Decks. They are all unified, and a story in each. Vibrant energy.

amei o tarot, as cartas são finas mas são de boa qualidade e parece que vão durar. o livro é muito bom, tem a explicação das cartas de forma clara e direta, muito diferente de livros de outros decks.

Me encantó, ideal para epoca de otoño invierno por los colores. Un poquito oscuro pero me gusta igual. Tiene una energia muy linda. La caja es excelente, las cartas de tamaño de tarot normal, sólo me gustaria que fueran un poquito más rigidas, por todo demás perfecto.

Carte perfette e molto belle, adatte sia a lettori di carte che a collezionisti; unica pecca : la scatola è molto grande.Giorno di consegna rispettato.

El mazo viene envuelto en celofan en un contenedor de carton con un espacio especifico para guardarlas y éste viene dentro de una caja reforzada de muy buena calidad con cierre magnetico de 21.5x14.5x5cm aprox. discretamente decorada y al frente con la imagen de la emperatriz III, así que el mazo está muy protegido, viene acompañado de un libro del tamaño de la caja de muy buena calidad con fotografias a color. Las cartas son de cartoncillo plastificado a mi parecer y mas gruesas de lo normal y miden 7x12cm (lo normal). Los colores, la impresion y el diseño de los arcanos es de muy buena calidad. La contraportada es bonita pero nada espectacular. Las cartas tienen el toque personalizado del autor. Son muy descriptivas y muy facil de interpretar y dan mucha oportunidad para hacer lecturas intuitivas con informacion a detalle. Las imagenes ocupan toda la carta que me encanta y los titulos vienen en la parte inferior de la misma muy discretos. Aun y cuando es sumamente descriptivo lo recomiendo para usuarios de nivel intermedio en adelante. La energía del mazo me parece fresca pero con un toque de misterio sin caer en lo oscuro permitiendo que cada arcano exprese ampliamente su intencion. En general me parece una muy buena opcion sobre todo para los coleccionistas. Excelente calidad, impresion, diseño y empaque.

C'est simple, j'ai une 20aine de tarots (autant d'oracles) et celui-ci est directement passé dans le peloton de tête...Les cartes sont présentées dans un très beau coffret (14x21cm = cadeau idéal !!!) accompagnées d'un vrai livre explicatif avec photos couleur (même dimension coffret). Ça change du mini livret illisible ;o) !!!Les images sont très inspirées et la matière des cartes est de qualité.Ces dernières sont effectivement fines (commentaire récurent) mais très résistantes (style cartes visites plastifiées mais flexibles) !!!P.S : petit détail qui a son importance = les personnages sont métissés (toutes races confondues) ce qui le rend totalement actuel mais surtout UNIVERSEL ;o) !!!!!P.S (ajout 1 an après : juillet 21) : les cartes sont bien résistantes et leur aspect faussement fragile rejoint (je l'ai remarqué en comparaison réelle) bien d'autres decks "modernes" tels le "Light Seers" ou le "Symbolon" par exemple. Mais attention aux decks vendus sans coffrets ni livrets (11x6cm au lieu de 12x7cm). Il me semble (sans aucune certitude donc) qu'il s’agit de contrefaçons. Les couleurs sont franchement moins vives (vibrantes) mais bon, il est franchement pas cher 8-11 euros...
