5.0 out of 5 stars Best new tarot in years, August 5, 2005

Wonderful innovative deck. Gives a deeper and more thoughtful meaning to each card. Can be used by pros or beginners. I have been reading cards since childhood. I own many tarot decks. I teach tarot using the Waite deck. In my opinion this deck sheds new light on the old Waite deck. You can get a better and much more deeper and rounded out reading by using The Vision deck. I love it! Out of all the new tarot decks pumped out on a yearly basis this is one of the best. If you could only buy one new deck, buy this one. You won't be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book to this adds rich depth..., August 11, 2005

If you like the aged and retro coloring of the Original Waite and want a reviving influence to your Rider-Waite-Smith readings, this could be a refreshing choice.

The book that Lo Scarabeo is publishing as a companion to this deck
treats with respect the art of Pamela Colman Smith and adds ideas that I find refreshing. It's a 153 page book with an absorbing variety of detail and encouragement to the creatie reader.

I like the Tarot of the New Vision's color palette and how it gives a 180-degree view that augments my nostalgic "Original" Waite deck. Sometimes we want a fresh look and a different flavor to our standard reading decks. The Tarot of the New Vision is a fun and different alternative for me.

Happy readings!

5.0 out of 5 stars Novel Enjoyment, Meaningful Perspective, September 21, 2006

Very enjoyable. Very intriguing. Most of the cards have some little twist -- other than the 180 change rotation in perspective -- like objects or people that are now in view and add and/or color the meaning of the classic RWS images.

The artwork is clean, crisp. The drawings are both refreshingly new and rooted in the now-familiar Pamela Colman Smith imagery. There is a very close attention to detail present in the illustrations to ensure you can't mistake the corresponding RWS card, but likewise you can't help but appreciate the additional details now present in the different angle of view.

Like the original Waite-Smith deck, at first I was intrigued, later I was engrossed. This was a very rewarding purchase and a prized addition to my collection of Tarot decks.
