5.0 out of 5 stars Forest Folklore Tarot Deck, August 25, 2005

Just received my tarot cards (Forest Folklore Tarot Deck by Kessia Beverley-Smith). Very pleased with them. Very English, well executed, very sensitively done, they work so well as a set. I even like the backs, Kessia has obviously spent time making them work as well - so often the backs let the actual cards down, not in this case. Overall I can't actually think of any cards that I've seen or used that are better, they are going to be a pleasure to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real English Feel, August 27, 2005

I have a few sets in my collection and this is up amongst the best of them in my opinion.
This set draws from many areas of English Folklore and the scenes are obviously situated within the landscape of The New Forest and the surrounding area of what was 'old' Wessex.
There are far too many other tarot packs that are just filled with generic New Age imagery. It's nice that this one has a theme, is linked to a specific area and is unmistakably English.

As most of us that adore the tarot can attest to, there is nothing more fun than getting a new deck of cards. We rip open the package, tear into the box and then stare at each card...hoping that this deck is THE ONE!!! I had high hopes that this would be the backbone for my readings with faery energies. I admit it is a fun deck, with some delightful images, but others just did not do it for me.

I feel that one woud need to be a more advanced Tarot reader to be able to use this deck as a traditional reading deck. I know there are others this deck will sing for, but for me it was just flat. It will stay in my collection for the images that DO speak to me, the Wands overall were charming. But I am not sure why there is a little devil on each of the Swords?

If you LOVE working with Faery energies, try this deck, maybe it will sing for you! But to me, the Fey tarot hit much closer to the mark...
