As a professional Tarot Practioner, and one who also teaches the art of Tarot reading, I look for 2 major things in Tarot decks that I purchase.

#1 the symbols and how they match the general meanings

#2 The quality of the artwork on the cards

The symbolism on these cards is very Minimal. I am not certain as to how any novice tarot reader could use these cards and be an effective reader. The purpose of having rich Symbolism on the cards is needed in order to help guide the reader in to the interpretation of the card. Some of the images on these cards do not even make sense to the meaning of the cards. The Death card features the skeleton of a unicorn, yet unicorns are a symbol of healing and health. This is just one example as to why I feel that the cards fell short.

As for the artwork, The deck felt rushed, it felt that each design on the card was not truly thought out. It doesnt mean that the artist did a bad job on the drawings, I feel that if the artist added more imagery to the deck, It would cover the inexpereince that you see in the drawings.

I would love to see a redesign of this deck, with richer artwork, more symbology, and more thought about what the intentions are of this deck.

I am not sure what other Tarot decks or art the other reviewers have seen, but this deck has just horrendous art. Badly drawn, bland colouring. Horrible! And as far as a reading deck, it's a very boring one. The Emperor and the Empress look EXACTLY the same. Same comstume, same face even...just a little different style robe and well name. Ridiculous.

This deck looks hastily done and thrown out there. Obviously no research on unicorns either. Unicorns as mythlogical beasts have a wonderful, profound history and lore. None of which you will find here. Sad.

I am stil waiting for a really well drawn and researched Unicorn deck.

I love the deck with the wonderful dream-like illustrations of unicorns. I have always secretly adored unicorns collecting trinkets and statues. Now that I am..over 50 I try not to,but when I saw this deck I had to have it.
If you love unicorns you will love this deck too!

This is a beautiful deck and the words of the writer is pure wisdom from the heart. I gave this deck to a friend as a birthday present she loved them. I just had to find the deck again and get me one. Excellent.
