I've tried many decks before picking up my first set of these cards. I use them so often I'm purchasing my third deck! I had a lot of trouble understanding the meaning behind the tarot cards until I picked up Cosmic Tarot. Everything suddenly became clear. The pictures are nice to look at and not confusing. They symbolism is clear and helpful. The court cards make more sense than any other deck out there. I highly recommend this deck for anyone.

I've been using the Cosmic deck for about five years and I love them! I found the deck in a catalog, on a whim I bought it and has been love ever since! The deck is both magical, intense, intimidating, colorful, beautifully drawn and yet simple (for me that is). I love some the pictures of the characters bec. I compare them to real life people. For example, the Prince of Pentacles looks like Charles Bronson (even though he doesn't exhibit those characteristics), the 4 of Wands looks like Deanna Troi from Star Trek. I must warn you that the deck isn't for everyone (what deck is?), but for me it's very intense, which is why I love it. I look at the pictures and can see so much! When I have done readings I have received so many compliments over how beautiful and different this deck is. I have used the Rider deck and never felt the bond I feel w/this deck. I have to tell you, if you do buy this deck, YOU MUST BUY THE ACCOMPANYING BOOK! There are pictures and meanings that do not correspond to "regular" tarot cards, but then again, every deck is different. This is the only deck for me! I call them my "buddies!"

The deck is beautiful indeed, and it is very accurate for me. When you buy it, consider the fact that the deck is more Thoth based, than Raider-Waite. So if all your books are for RWS, you, probably, want to buy a special book for this deck.
Anyway, I never did, and still can read with the deck, and enjoy it.

Hands down my favorite Tarot deck. The images are rich with symbolism that anyone can understand, and that's important when you're a novice reader.

The cards do have a 1930's or 1940's Hollywood feel to them; the images are supposed to portray specific actors and actresses from that era, but I personally don't notice these resemblances when I'm doing a reading. I think the artist just happened to hit on the right face for each of the various cards. What is noticeable is how the blue, black, and white colors and the shading effects used in the art seem to deepen and enhance certain symbolic elements of each card.

I didn't think the companion book was particularly helpful; but since the deck almost reads itself to you, a book may not be necessary for everyone. I would alternately recommend Laura Clarson's book on this deck instead.

This is a very beautiful deck by the German artist Norbert Losche. The people appear to be alive with expression, their thoughts captured; they intuitively convey the meanings of each card. The modern symbolism adds familiarity and accesibility to the reader. These archetyple images open up a vast reservoir of intuitive knowledge. The Minor Arcana cards are equally as inspiring as the Major Arcana thus the continuity is preserved. I have literally done hundreds of readings with this deck and I'll always use it and recommend it to those who are looking for new cards such as yourself. Very well worth the money!

The deck is very interesting,but i prefer the ag muller's version.This version doesn't have a print as good as the original..Another problem:The sun's card is incomplete..the author forgot to put the number "xix" over it and "the sun" is white..few color..its not a great card..could be better.

This deck has vibrant colors, muted colors, all ranges of color to reflect the nature of the card. It does lend itself well to readings and also for introspection. If you can get a hold of the companion book, that would be great to. The art style is very unique and well done. It has sort of an older art feel, but that adds more to the deck then anything else. Highly recommened for any tarot reader needing some vivacious readings.

These cards quickly became one of my favorite Taro decks. The symbolism reaches back to more of wiccan spirit and to even a deeper Egyptian tradition. Lushly illustrated and welcoming to the seeker. I like that the author gives a few different spread explainations. I like to mix it up for different types of questions/divinations.

Cards are beautiful. Couldn't be more pleased. Order arrived before scheduled and was carefully packaged. I look forward to using them

this deck is gorgeous, i absolutely adore it, though my only complaint is that on a few of the cards there was a blue bacwards "L" near the title of the card (clearly its not meant to be there), so I had to return it and get a replacement, so beware you may get a defected deck.
