Tarot of the Trance, by Eva Marie Nitsche, is one of the most beautiful decks in my collection. I liked the the Mexican grotesque feel of the artwork, with it's bright colors and dreamlike figures, though some readers may find it a bit "busy". The complete deck of 80 cards has an additional 2 cards: a title card and an inspiration card, describing the author's basis for developing this particular deck. While a far cry from Universal Waite imagery that we are all so familiar (and sometimes bored with) the deck has some similarities. The pips and Minor Arcana are completely illustrated. The Major Arcana cards are flawless! Check out the The Star and The Hermit, two of my personal favorites. I recommend this deck as a meditational guide rather than a "reading" deck.

tarot of the trance is my first and only deck. ive almost had it for a year now and use it frequently. the images are clear and vibrant. i have experienced wonderful readings and a deep connection with this deck. however, it is a very difficult deck to use for readings as a beginner. i would never change my mind about this deck, but it does take a lot of extra effort to learn the cards.

Tarot of the Trance is one of my favorite Tarot decks, and I own a good number of decks. The symbolism, color, imagery, and vibrancy of the deck are great (with the exception of the Knight of Coins). The symbolism is little complicated but definitely worth it once you learn the deck. I would say that if you are thinking about buying this deck, do it, its one of the better decks available.
The star card, my favorite in any deck, is wonderful.

Another reviewer said this was a deck for meditative purposes. Additionally, it's a tool for self-evaluation and self-enlightenment. The imagery is evocative and insistent; all the cards speak clearly enough that they need no book to explain them.tarot of the trance,
