This review is from: Pagan Magical Kit (Hardcover)

I recently bought this on the reconmendation of a friend. I wasn't sure what to expect. The kit includes 3 stones, 3 types of incense,alter cloth, Tarot Cards, incense holder, 3 candles and a small book. The stones included are suppose to be clear quartz,flourite and tigars eye. However my kit included 2 tigars eye instead of quartz. So I dont know if its suppose to vary like that but rather then return it, I'll just live with it. The tarot cards are small and longish. The material they are printed on isn't very heavy. The design of the cards is decidely modern including images of cars, modern clothing, stores and other images at place in the 20th centruy. I like it because I have no other decks in this style. It would be a great first deck if you dont want to start with something like Rider-Wyatt or more common decks. Anyone who has priced decks know the price range is $15-40 dollars so to get a good deck in this kit when its priced under $40 is pretty good. The alter cloth is very stiff and I'm not a fan of it, but the pentagram desgin on the front is nice. If you are looking for a travel or starter kit for your alter, it is a good buy.
