I must tell you that I was not too impressed with this deck when I saw it on the shelf. I didn't want to buy it, I didn't think it was "pretty". (or at least that's what I thought at first glance) After going to the same shop about 6 times and these cards just kept BEGGING me to buy them, I finally gave in. Thank the gods I did!! These are BY FAR the best cards I've ever done ANY kind of reading from! The pictures are awesome, (so don't be like me and look for the "typical" artwork) and the definitions very clear and precise. I'm EXTREMELY pleased with these cards, if I need to wade through my confusion, or just get an idea of what path I should choose, or just want an answer on something, these are what I use... I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that uses tarot, beginner or advanced user.

As the owner (and user) of over 40 tarot decks, I can honestly say that the Tapestry tarot is the one deck that I wish I'd never bought. I paid $5 for my copy, and that was $5 too much. The pictures are simply ugly..dim colors, and poor quality photographs. The tapestries bear little resemblance to anything related to tarot symbology. There are needlessly huge white borders around the photographs on each card, which makes the deck look even worse. The card stock quality is poor, and the cards are awkwardly sized...large and square, with square corners instead of rounded off corners as most decks have. It is nearly impossible to shuffle these cards. I tried to use this deck a few times but quickly grew to hate the sight of it.

I am a tarot reader and enthusiast and have been for a long time. I have never found a deck that actually repulsed me. I opened the box and the feeling of revulsion to these was incredible. It's definitely not a deck I can use--and most of the people I have shown have had the same reaction. Some of the cards are downright creepy. The tapestry theme is a great idea and the cards do look like mini-tapestries done as a collage--colors are vivid and clear but its not a "friendly" deck to me. I can't even do a reading with them to try them out how they feel in that manner. I wish others better luck than me.
