This review is from: Beginner's Tarot Boxed Set (Paperback)

In this book Kathleen McCormack explains how to use the Tarot cards and interprets their hidden meanings.Everthing about them
is intriguing and mysterious, but Ms McCormack does not confuse the reader, giving concise and simplified account of their history. The accent is on spiritual growth, and cosmic consciousness. A great book set in any language and not just for beginners!

This review is from: Beginner's Tarot Boxed Set (Paperback)

I am not a beginner at Tarot, but I use this set all the time. Other tarot reader fell in love with the beautiful cards (not harsh like some other tarots), the simple, yet full of info booklet that gives you insight along the way. It's good for beginners, because it doesn't "abandoned you" with the cards and your intuition; it helps understanding each card, then their meanings according to their position in the spread(s). It still requires energy (as any tarot reading), but this set makes it fun and fulfilling. I would recommend this to any tarots readers and I'm planning to give it as gifts to friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Updated Marseilles Starter Deck, August 24, 2005

By 

Daniel (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beginner's Tarot Boxed Set (Paperback)

This is an exellent beginner's Tarot deck(but not just for beginners!) to give or receive yourself. The cards are updated, computer graphic designed images based on the ancient and classic "Marseilles" deck, with a blended, old but modern feel to them. The computer graphics add new color shading/depth & the figures cast shadows- the blue skies feature wispy, white clouds. Only the Minor Arcana cards are not Marseilles type, but based on original or other tarot art. Still a great basic deck that could be used as well as the Rider-Waite deck- 5 stars.
