5.0 out of 5 stars These are the best tarot cards ever made!, December 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rohrig-Tarot Book (Paperback)

I have never seen such a colorful and exciting deck of tarot cards, and I have looked at a lot of them. This set is completely attractive to a younger crowd of tarot readers and has more symbolism in current times than many of the older tarot cards. If you have an interest in tarot, you have to check out this deck.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic Brought To Life!, September 17, 2003

This review is from: The Rohrig-Tarot Book (Paperback)

I was skeptikal when I first received this deck a year ago as a gift from a friend; but the very first time i shuffled it the cards literally came to life in my hands! They have such a presence about them, a life of their own. Very powerful cards!
Vibrant colors, images that you can get lost in for hours, and a very alluring energy.

I am very possessive of this deck. I only use it to do readings for myself, and to do Tarot Spells with. It's one of the very few i keep just for me! I thought for sure this would be a mediocre deck at best, boy was i wrong!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I now have better card readings, November 20, 2002

I originally purchased the cards first. However, whenever I did a spread, I didn't know how to interpret it. This book has been an essential tool and now my friends, family, and co-workers have asked me to do card readings for them.

Thank you.
