4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely! My favorite deck for relationship readings!, October 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lovers' Tarot: For Affairs of the Heart (Hardcover)

This is a beautifully illustrated deck, and perfect for relationship readings. With only the 22 Major Arcana cards represented, I find that readings with this deck cut to the heart of the matter in a very straight-forward, concise way. The book focuses on relationship issues, as well, and, as many readers know, about 90% of our querents want to know about their love lives! This lovely deck is a great helpmate...and just plain ol' pretty!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Novelty cards, January 25, 2000

This review is from: The Lovers' Tarot: For Affairs of the Heart (Hardcover)

I'd first like to say these cards are HUGE! You basically can't shuffle them, but you can spread them out and mix them that way. The illustrations are beautiful and the book is the most comprehensive tarot guide I've read. I really enjoyed these cards. One suggestion: read your cards on a smoothe and clean surface because they seem to have a lot of static cling and tend to pick up fuzz from the carpet.

I really love this deck - the art is the most beutiful I've yet seen in a tarot deck, the book is informative and very well made, and the casing very well designed.

This is the deck I use to read for people on matters of the heart - people are just amazed with the cards' art.

The case, which holds the book and the cards and closed by a ribbon, is of good quality, especially when compared to the short-lived card boxes most decks come in today.

The deck contains only the 22 major arcana cards, which are the largest I've seen to date. The cards are hard to shuffle, but two or three shuffles and drawing the cards from a fan is good enough for a deck with just 22 cards.

Since I bought this deck and started reading with it, two of my friends (one a reader and another a readee) asked me to get them this deck. This deck really spoke to them.
