5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful art, well-researched book, September 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Angels Tarot (Paperback)

I found the art spiritually uplifting. It is refreshing to see a work about angels that is not sentimental but reflects angels the way they actually are in angel lore--mysterious and sometimes surreal. The book gave me a deeper appreciation for the history of our thoughts about angels, and made the Tarot itself easy to understand and use. I thought it was well-written and packs in a lot of information. I've given readings to friends with it and it's been great.

I love Bob Place's work. I really do. I own all of his published decks, and a small print of his is hanging on my wall, so that's not the problem. The problem arises when you try to read this tarot. If you bought it for a reading deck, you may find that the imagery on these cards is a little thin to spark your intuitive process. If, however, you read from a formulary or a pre-memorized or even a numerolgoical method, this deck may be fine for you. Tarot enthusiasts will definitely want to acquire it for their collections - but readers may want to find a new age store that carries the deck so they can take a preview of the art.
