5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite colour depth and clairity, May 24, 2006
Having started with the Original Rider Waite, I needed a deck that easier on my eyes. The Universal Waite does the trick. I get a stronger feeling of awareness, within a 3 diminsion visual per card. I highly recommend this version for anyone just starting out. The clairity and colours of the cards are too good to pass up.

This set also comes with a 340 page book called "The Pictorial Key to the Tarot" by Arthur Edward Waite. ISBN#: 0913866083. This book is very nice. I like introduction it gives for each card as well as a picture of the card itself.

Lastly, a nice poster of the 10 card Celtic spread is included. This was published by US Games. The poster shows the layout as well as the postion meaning. It also displays the lay down order for each card.

I also noted that the black/gold box shown was not what I received. My box was a blue/red combination that I will upload.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Like the Re-Coloring, September 12, 2006
I use the Rider-Waite Deck all the time to do my readings, and so I was fascinated with this deck. One reads so many books which describe things in the cards which one cannot see so easily in the Rider-Waite. When I got the deck and went through it, I could see those things - like the river in the Emperor card and the Death card. You can see the water body more clearly in the High Priestess.

What I did not like, however, was the fact that the expressions on the faces of the court cards were changed! Case in point - the Queen of Wands.

Overall I like the re-coloring done in the cards. They have become more green and lovely.

4.0 out of 5 stars very nice, August 21, 2006
By Peekablue (Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews
I got this set for Christmas, several years ago. Unfortunately, I lost the deck while moving out of my college dorm room but I recently bought a new one. As of yet, I have no other decks to compare this to but I think it is well suited for both beginners and experts.
The deck itself is sturdy and quite lovely. The artwork is beautiful on the fronts and the backs have a field of gold stars on a navy blue background. The only probem I have is that the cards are quite glossy and tend to stick together during shuffling but that could be because it's a brand new deck. Perhaps it will get better with more use.
The book that comes with the deck is interesting but a little boring. I have not been able to get very far into it yet. There seems to be a lot of good information in there, if you're dedicated enough.
The deck also comes with a small instruction booklet that fits inside the card box. It contains a list of all the cards and a brief description of each card's meaning. Also, at the end is a guide for using the ten card spread. I've found this to be a great quick reference tool when doing my readings. The problem is that it's very easy to rely on the booklet, so it can become a crutch.
Also included is a foldable "map" to aid when using the 10 card spread.
