Absolutely the most EXQUISITE TAROT DECK in existence, October 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Tarot of the Spirit Box Set (includes book and 78-card tarot deck) (Paperback)
Joyce Eakins is truly masterful in her rendering of the complex qabalistic symbology of the tarot. A finer Tarot Deck was never painted during any historical period. Tarot of the Spirit is a must have for any collector or for anyone exploring deep psychological and mystical symbolism.

Truly Wonderful for all levels of ability., November 18, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Tarot of the Spirit Box Set (includes book and 78-card tarot deck) (Paperback)
The deck is beautiful, the symbolism easy to read. I have used this deck as my deck to read others with for years. I've even worn one deck out and had to purchase another and soon my second deck will have to be replaced! This deck is great for beginners as there is a key word on each of the Minor Arcana. I don't know why the one reviewer gave it such a bad rating.... don't they know art is subjective? If you like watercolors, you'll love this deck.

Good Deck, Excellent Book, August 21, 1998
This review is from: Tarot of the Spirit Box Set (includes book and 78-card tarot deck) (Paperback)
The style of the deck is unusual, but not nearly as bad as the other reviewer suggests. Of course, art is subjective. I find the artwork evocative of the author's interpretation, some of the images aiding my meditations quite well. I recommend an open-minded approach to the deck. Having said that, I admit that I am not thrilled with all of the artist's choices, but I've yet to find a deck whose images were all to my taste. I have found the book to be one of the best references to a Qabalistic view of Tarot. It includes a brief overview of the Tree of Life and maps the cards of the Tarot to it. Each suit is introduced with a discussion of its associated element. Following that, each card is described with associated suggested interpretation, meditation, and discussion of its place in the overall scheme. I highly recommend it, whatever deck one uses.
