5.0 out of 5 stars In a class of its own, April 30, 2001

The New Palladini deck was recommended to me by a fellow working at our local new age store--he said it was their hottest seller and his personal favorite. While my personal favorites remain the Cosmic Tribe and Thoth decks, I still have to say that the Palladini deck is in a class of its own. I don't believe I've ever seen richer, deeper colors in any deck. So many decks, like the Rider-Waite, have very washed out pale colors in comparison. Additionally, there is a great uniformity and cohesion in these cards which makes them work well together in creating a holistic, alternate world. Despite the artistic uniformity of the deck, there is no sense of repetition or redundancy.

The symbolism is traditional yet fresh, very intuitive and easy to grasp. This is truly THE ideal deck for beginners--I really wish it had been my first deck. It has such a positive energy, and a simplicity that doesn't seem simple. My two favorite decks above, I've noticed, are intimidating to some people. The New Palladini deck seems to have much wider appeal. If you love Tarot decks, there is little chance this deck will disappoint you.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent starter deck, quick to master, well-balanced, June 8, 1999

I was first drawn to the Palladini deck after seeing some of the cards on the internet. For those of you who find the Raider-Waite deck a bit antiquated, you will probably find the modern art style and imagery much more accessable. The deck makes use of images and people of many cultures, very useful for those of us from an eclectic tradition. I was giving very accurate readings with this deck inside of a month, using single-card divinations and large spreads such as the celtic cross. At first the cards seem plain, without a lot of the detail in something like the Thoth deck, which is good for a beginner. They can focus on the big picture and let the story unfold. But there is plenty of detail in the cards. Every time I look at them I see something new. The deck is well balanced gender-wise. The King and Queen cards of each suit seem like equals. The card backs are symmetrical, and each card is clearly labelled, though you don't need to see the words to tell what the card is, thanks to the excellent artwork.

I just purhased The New Palladini Tarot Deck and book set, and I couldn't be happier. Being new to reading tarot cards I couldn't believe how deep and moving my first read was! The art work is stunning. There is something about these cards, when you study them you can't help but be drawn in. There mystical and magical. Anyone who purchases this set will not be disappointed!
