5.0 out of 5 stars Beginners through Advanced Attention!, August 15, 2003

Having used this deck for over thirty years, I highly recommend it to everyone who is a serious student of Sacred Tarot. The absence of color has been an advantage for me. The more attention paid to this deck, and its accompanying book, The Sacred Tarot, Course V in the Brotherhood of Light series, the more progress is available to the student of tarot. This deck (and the book) are treasures for those who wish to make real progress as students of esoteric knowledge. Let others "play" with tarot decks. If you really want inner knowledge, this is the deck for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars These cards are authentic tools of divination, January 13, 2007

This review is from: Church of Light : Authentic Egyptian Tarot Cards (Cards ed) (Cards)

In 1978 I learned to read the tarot using this deck and have used it continuously since that time. With the help of the astrological glyphs right on the cards, I magnitized and embedded the meaning of the cards within one week. Yes, I had already studied and mastered the science of astrology for 2-3 years which assisted my progress. However, the Church of Light tarot deck is the best form of divination that works for me. These cards are an authentic tool for divination. I never go anywhere without them. Try them and see for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Best There Are..., July 1, 2007

This review is from: Church of Light : Authentic Egyptian Tarot Cards (Cards ed) (Cards)

I've read Tarot Cards since 1974 and this was my first deck. Now, it is still my undisputed favorite.

I collect Tarot Decks and yet I always come back to this one. Some of it's appeal is the Church of Light: Book 6 - The Sacred Tarot that one should purchase to go with it. I have more than 100 books on the Tarot and the one by The Church of Light mentioned above is undoubtedly the most informative book on this subject that I have ever come across. (Also known previously as The Brotherhood of Light...)

Each card gives you the Egyptian, Hebrew, English letters, the constellations, the sign, it's decanate, the planetary influence and in the case of the Major Arcana, it shows a picture from the Ancient Egyptian Initiation Chambers inside the pyramids.

Many are put off by the quiet black and white cards, it is significant however that you are encouraged to color YOUR cards yourself and to use those colors that are most beneficial to you. Only a beginner wouldn't recognize the subtle but profound wisdom of this practice...

There are unique stories/legends/reasons why the Major 8 and Major 11 are reversed from the positions one usually finds in some of the other popular decks out there. After extensively studying numerology and astrology however, I have to agree with THIS placement.

I am so grateful that I was led to this deck and it's study organization before I ran into other decks. I got off to a solid gold start.

It is a testament to the outstanding nature of this Church of Light Tarot Deck that it always sells out as fast as it is reprinted. If you run into a used deck, grab it immediately. It is worth buying as much as the new decks are. I always go to the website to look for them when I can't find them here on Amazon. Happy hunting!!
