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!

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.

This was the first Tarot I ever used; it was a gift, which is as i have been taught it should be. I enjoyed it a lot, and still use it, in certain ways. First of all, the use of only the major arcana is a very good way to learn the concept of the Tarot without getting lost under all the cards. That and it also simplifies the reading's complexity, leaving room for the reader to explain and detail instead of just being card after card after card. Secondly, the book is well-written and quite interesting; I remember all the meanings that I learned at the time, and still use them with other Tarot. Thirdly, the artwork is visually stunning- so much so that (don't laugh!) i actually framed the cards and hung them, replacing them with the Major Arcana of a Robin Wood, which were easier to shuffle and work with, as well as reasonably inexpensive. Then, when i had the cards laid, i would show my subject the card in question, then have them look at the one on the wall while i gave the explanation. This gives a nice point of reference, plus eases the irritation of such huge cards. Good Tarot, wonderful Artwork, good book... What else could i ask for?

I found these tarot cards to be straight forward and easy to use. They were helpful in helping me see things that were happening in my love life, and as well as in my everyday dealings. I would highly recommend this tarot deck and beautifully illustrated book to anyone

These luxurious cards deserve high praise. The collector-quality deck is extra large and richly appointed with renaissance-style art. Like many tarot readers this deck uses only the 22 Major Arcana cards. All names and numbers are classic tarot. The guide book is a full-color hardback. It's informative and includes added insight about the seeker's lover. The package is well-thought out, right down to the box's classy ribbon tie.

Some years ago I saw the only Major deck. When I found this complete deck I'd ordered straightaway. I still think that the Major are very beautiful and their composition are very lovely, but I'd like to find a similar process on the Minor that are too simple.

I have not actually bought it yet, but I have looked at it closely. I just wanted to pass along this info. The cards are large sized (the same size as the book) and fit into a pocket in the book, which ties closed with a ribbon. The cards are major arcana only. They are in an attractive collage style. The book describes a special "lovers" layout, presumably to use with major arcana card only. I would like to try it, but I haven't bought the book yet! I also think large sized majors would be useful. (Although I guess a large sized full deck would be more so.) If you like the facts, buy the set! I think I just convinced myself to buy it, too!

This is a three part set consisting of tarot deck (major arcana only) interpretation guide, and case. The entire package is beautiful to behold and seems to hold up well.

Although I follow my own inner voice, the guide definitions seem to be quite accurate. This is a great set for the beginner.

The only drawback is the oversized cards require a very large surface to be properly "swirled".

I am quite happy I have added it to my collection.

This book is fabulous and has so many in depth meanings for the cards based on what position the cards fall in. No more trying to figure out exactly what the card means based on it's place in the spread - this book tells you. I do all of my readings with these cards and everyone is stunned at the accurracy. I highly recommend the book.
