5.0 out of 5 stars The Best I've Seen and Used..., March 3, 2001

By 

Jeff Chung (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Universal Tarot Deck with Book (Cards)

I am a real clairvoyant and clairaudient counselor... over the years, I traditionally avoided the use of tarot, but have played with and used the Greenwood Tarot, and the Universal Angel cards effectively and well with high success on a professional level.

When i first opened this deck, the images spoke to me immediately. Using this particular deck brings to me imagery and symbolism which is easy to interpret.

The colors are warm, the images are soft and gentle, with the exception of the devil card, which understandably is not such a nice image, lol

But... in my own personal and professional experience, this is the deck i would recommend to anyone interested in tarot.

I think this deck is amazing. Buy it with ease of mind.

I will be using this one for some time to come.

This review is from: The Universal Tarot Deck with Book (Cards)

I bought this Tarot deck and book set as my first foray into tarot. I was told to pick a deck that "spoke to me". I cant tell you how utterly happy i am, that this was the first introduction to tarot that i had. Now after several years of doing readings and learning tarot, with many other decks ive subsequently bought, this is Still my most used and favored deck. I find i read better with it, it gets to the heart of any situation. A few of the major arcana cards are renamed and there are only Three court cards , yet they dont seem to make a major difference in readings. Maxwell Miller incorporates all religions, symbols, making this a deeper and more rewarding experience into what each card means, he gives us the spiritual meaning of each card, the lesson inherent in each experience. I find the art work different from anything ive ever seen,vivid and thought provoking. The minor arcana does not have pictoral scenes, only pips are shown, yet each card leaves no doubt as to its meaning, and the various symbols surrounding it, are clues as well... His book is thorough and informative, and he even supplies us with small divinitory meanings on separate tarot cards. I dont think ill ever purchase another deck that means what this one does to me, or find one more condusive to inner knowledge as well.
