4.0 out of 5 stars Classic RW Images with Pips...., September 13, 2006

This review is from: El Tarot Del Arco Iris/the Rainbow Tarot (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Hi! I came across this deck through synchronicity which is why I purchased it without researching it on other Tarot sites before I selected 'ADD TO CART' on Amazon! I usually try to find out SOMETHING about my decks before I purchase them!!! As you are not yet able to view (directly on this Amazon page) any card images or pages from the full size book that comes with this Set, I figured I would give you one or two of my thoughts, HERE, on the purchase page...

To give you a sentence background about my preference when purchasing and using Tarot Decks (to be fair), I am not a RW fan. I truly understand the historical significance to RW and Tarot. I would not TURN DOWN a deck solely based on the fact that it was created in this traditional style; however, this style WOULD have me checking to see if there were OTHER deck or book features before purchasing... especially a Set at this cost (which is not necessarily much higher than many other Tarot Sets).

The images on this deck are colored in rainbow/pastel shades for the most part. The coloration gives to the cards a beautiful and almost other-worldly "feel". The Lovers Card, above,is a WONDERFUL card choice image to represent this deck on the Set Box and Book cover (in my humble opinion). It is one of the prettier images on the Major cards.

The book looks wonderfully complete, but it is written 100% in the Spanish language with no English translations. As I do not READ Spanish, THIS is my biggest dissapointment (well, besides the Pip images on the Minor cards). I REALLY ENJOY reading an author's opinions, thoughts and choices about his/her card creations.

So.....had I known these 4 pieces of info (lovely Major cards; Pip Minors; RW style; and 100% Spanish book) AND then had I taken into the account the cost of the Set, I probably would have not purchased this Set at this time... BUT, it WAS a synchronistic moment which put this purchase in a different light for me. SOOO, I guess I better USE it now, hmmmm?

Well, I hope this has been helpful to you at some level. Namaste to Elizabeth Martin (the Text Author) and to Marcela Garcia (the Tarot Author). Of course, Namaste to YOU.
