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.

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!

The new Palladini Tarot Deck is probably the most artistically pleasing deck I've ever seen. I was especially drawn to it because it is an authentic rendering of the Waite tarot images in a much more pleasing form. It is simply gorgeous! The images are vibrant and colorful. They stay with me and even seem to speak their message. I love it.

I love this tarot deck and book set. The cards are a nice size and feel good in the hand. The back of the cards have two infinity snakes on them in a dark, red background....very rich in spirit.... The cards are bursting with color and are quite beautiful to work with if you love color. The healing properties of color can be very positive and I prefer the happier, more whimsical tarot decks because they reflect my personality. I love the Aquarian tarot deck too, for these same reasons. Every card is boldly marked with its name and is breathtakingly creative and insightful. The Three of Swords presents the heart swollen and punctured...just looking at it makes your emotions swell.... The book is clear and easy to understand. I just love it !! There is wonderful information on all sorts of Tarot issues, special instruction on suggested spreads and enough explanation to give you answers without being overwhelming. It dawned on me that this set would be a fabulous gift for anyone, whether they be an experienced reader or a beginner. I find this Tarot set to be very joyful and working with it everyday is a pleasure for me.

This is my first tarot deck as I have always been wanting to own one for a long time. I am confident to say that the revelations shown by these cards give good indication of forthcoming occurences and answers to questions that I seek. The cards are well designed with elaborate symbolism that give deeper answers to the questions put forth. One need not really be skilled in tarot to gain benefit from these cards. Using the provided introductory book as a guide with one of the suggested spreads, one can get a general idea of transpiring events by relating the cards (keywords) to the situation. All in all, these cards have given me good insight and I am very happy to have made this purchase.

PS: The deck comes boxed in a decorated cardboard case (refer to picture above) along with a book that explains the basics of tarot and the intepretation of each card.

I've been reading tarot for thirteen years and have had many decks of all sorts. At first, the booklets and actual books that come with them really matter - you need them to make sense, be readable, and be somewhat in accord with your worldview. But these days I find that I do not need any books anymore, as I have developed my own opinions on the proper meanings of the cards. This deck, which I recently acquired, already means more to me than any other I've ever had. The art is sufficiently vivid and striking, and neither depressingly shadowy nor watercolourish and sappily cute. It is perfect, and the fact that the booklet and book are judgmental, unpleasant, and totally useless means nothing. I assert the cards! And I mercifully got rid of the books before the meanings stuck to me.

I've been on the hunt for a tarot deck that is traditional, yet more artistic to my modern sensibilities, with a corresponding book that will also give a nice combination of traditional and more modern, or fluid meaning. Palladini has a good synthesis of the two, and, most importantly, feels good. (Seeing as how tarot is such a very intuitive thing.)

This is the prettiest deck I own. It really should be mounted and shown off as glorious artwork. However, I get nothing out of the cards. Old Rider-Waite or (best deck) Crowley's Toth are the real working tarot cards.

I love Palladini and won't part with them for the sheer exquisite joy of having such lovely images. But, for tarot readings, Crowley is the best of all decks.

Please keep in mind that this is my reaction to the cards and you might be thoroughly inspired by Pallidini and not get a blip with Crowley. That's why there are so many different decks, just like models of cars. No one true deck. No one right way. This is just my reaction to Palladini. Just like the reason for different models of cars.

This is a beautiful deck. The art work is amazing and the book is a very nice read. I looked at a lot of decks online and was drawn to this one. I will enjoy working with this!
