Golden Tarot Deck Description:

Golden Tarot Deck review:
5 stars (I finally found my deck!) - I can't tell you how many decks I have looked that just didn't "resonate" with me! The traditional Rider-Waite was just too ugly for me, and some other decks were just too weird or out there for me. This deck combines my love of art with tarot, and it is perfect for me. The box that it comes in is perfect to keep the cards in (no need for a different box or tarot bag), the book that comes with it is thorough and she gives ideas for spreads and what the cards mean in both upright and reversed position. She offers a lot of insight into the cards and the process of their creation. My only complaint (no big deal to me) is that the cards are hard to shuffle.
4 stars (This deck's so pretty) - I have been following the Golden Tarot online before, and when I have finally decided to get my first tarot deck, I chose Golden Tarot. After I got the real deck, I was a bit surprised to see how "shallow" the images are because there seemed to be a lack of sense of space in the images. But afterall, they are made from collages of many other paintings. All in all, I am happy with the deck because the images are really pretty and they convey very deep meanings behind.

About the booklet, it provides basic and adequate information and instructions for the deck, but half of it was in fact references to all the painting images the author has used. If you would like a more in-depth tarot book for beginning learning tarot, you'd probably need to get another book instead of relying on the booklet in the package.


3 stars (Simplistic imagery but great for beginners) - I guess the cards are pretty, but the lack of symbols makes this a rather simplistic deck that leaves me cold. Colours are ok, nothing striking, but really rather clichey. If you go to the website [...] and like them great but notice how little the comments on each card are and look carefully at how simplistic the cards. Definitely for beginners.
