I just got this book. I thought it was a set but it's not. Anyway, the book has B&W pics of every card together with the card's meaning and symbolism. They are very artistic and full of symbols. I would reccommend the deck just from what I've seen in the book. They are based on the Kabbala system, like the Thoth Tarot Deck which I already have. I think the Thoth cards are more artistic, but the books you can get for the Thoth deck are not as informative or as easy to use or interpret. I think that a Tarot beginner would be better off with the Navigators Deck and book.

This book/deck set is one of the best I have ever used. The artist/author uses both Jungian psychology and symbolism to help guide the reader on a spiritual journey. I have used this book/deck set often and found it to be most useful in helping clients understand their lives more deeply. The paintings are also very beautiful. Each card is rich with symbolism that helps to support the message that the card delivers. I highly recommend this book/deck set to anyone interested in a more esoteric Tarot based on the Hermetic Cabala.

The tarot deck I purchased first, the book came out later. I have been a tarot reader for many years, and while the non traditional decks (such as this one) creat an opportunity for a more intuitiver reading, at that time I will admit I wasn't too geared for that. However, that has changed over the years, I have become more and more interested in Kabballa and it's symbolism in conjunction to tarot is obvious. julia with her unique artwork got me interested (for the first time) in the kabballa, and it's cornerstone to the systems of magick I have explored have made this a must have.

The book shows you the artists interpretation of the Major arcana, the court cards, the pips and how on the tree of life they relate to each of us and to each other.
While I don't think I would recommend this if you are just learning tarot, I have to say that it is a necesssary addition to any serious tarot practioner's collection.

Have used this on British TV to do readings and privately. It worked.... And works well in readings.
Also there are some very interesting insights here....
