4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Interesting Variation on Card Reading, November 19, 2001

Titania's Fortune Cards are based on an old French fortune-telling deck, according to the author. There are 36 cards in a beautiful gold case, along with a book explaining their meanings and how to lay out the cards. The images have been updated for our times. They are modern, done in an interesting and attractive color negative photographic technique. These cards are easy to learn to use. If you're intimidated by tarot, you would find these cards an enjoyable alternative. As an experienced tarot reader, I enjoy these cards as well and have received surprisingly accurate messages. My only criticisms are: 1) the cards are on very thin stock and I'm concerned about durability; 2) the cards are not coated and lack the smooth surface of most cards, so handling them is a bit odd at first; 3)the book is glued to the box containing the set, so it can be a bit awkward to handle; and 4) the author's instructions on how to interpret the largest layout are confusing - I still haven't figured it out. All in all, though, this is a beautiful fortune deck. My friends all want to get one as soon they see it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Titania's Fortune Cards, February 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Fortune Cards with Cards (Hardcover)

Since i have bought the Fortune cards all my friends and family want me to do readings for them. So far the readings have been very accurate. To test how accurate the cards are i did a reading on a new friend of 2 months i was supprised and so was she that i could tell her so much about what had happened in her life and what was to come. I have even done the longer spread and it is truly amazing, as Titania says you do keep getting the same message over again. The only problem i find is that you can not ask any yes no questions which can be frustrating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful pictures, interpretations in depth, August 27, 2001

I found this card and book set absolutely wonderful. The gold cover really makes these cards extra special. This is not a tarot set and since there are already negative cards there is no need to read "reversed" cards as these cards are meant to be read upright. The book that comes with it gives a brief summary(one page for one card) of how good or negative the symbol is, the meaning of it, and the meaning of card combinations that you may have. I would highly recommend this set to anyone who is interested in learning how to read with cards but does not want to dive right into the tarot as this set has around 27 cards.
