I am very disappointed with this set. The deck has some of the worst artwork I have ever seen; absolutely atrocious. The booklet is tiny, and filled with basic magical and kabbalistic correspondences, as well as information on pathworking, all easily found elsewhere. As far as I can determine, this set's sole purpose for existence is to capitalize on Dion Fortune's name, which I notice that authors - the Society of the Inner Light - have now trademarked. Yuck!

The art work is horrendous! If Dion were here today she would sue! However if you are a collector of Tarot card you should buy it as I am sure it will be off the market soon. This is truly an AWFUL deck! If there had been a no star rating I would have given it NO STARS.

A Tarot deck whose cover image does not show a single sample card? Does that make you suspicious?

A brand new Tarot deck whose supposed author has been dead for decades and who never created a Tarot deck? Does that make you suspicious?

If neither of those facts arouses your suspicion, then buy this deck. And the Brooklyn Bridge.

Alas, the purpose of this product is clearly not to communicate inspiration and insight from the teacher to the student, but simply to transfer $30 from the consumer to the merchant.

Dion Fortune is surely turning over in her grave; and if the Society of the Inner Light really believes in magic, that should make them nervous. As well as guilty and embarrassed.

You will probably hate this deck as much as I do (and I'm sure as much as Dion Fortune would). Dion Fortune demanded the best quality they were capable of from her students, this deck is an obscene mockery of the Tarot, the Golden Dawn Ritual Tarot is more in keeping with Dion Fortune's expressed ideas of Tarot and quality.

Oddly, I actually really find this Tarot Deck very insightful and it has become one of my favorite decks despite the negative reviews here. I am sorry if anyone did not enjoy this deck.

I find the cards fascinating and more compelling over time with the unique art and descriptions. I also greatly admire Dion Fortune and Gareth Knight.
