3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Photography, July 21, 2001

This review is from: Vision Tarot (Cards)

I really wanted to get this deck, the Photography is lovely, and does seem to make the cards stand out. Reading however is harder with this deck. The black border cuts off much of the picture, and the wood framing in some make it a darker deck. The minor arcana is simply done with each suit's number. So there are no pictures , simply 2, 3 or 4 cups etc.... while i do like reading without pictures on the minor arcana, i think it would have been much more helpful, if at least the 5 of cups had two overturned, and perhaps a dark sky. In this deck all cups are upright, filled, and the sky is blue, giving a beginner reader absolutely no clue to the meaning. Its a nice deck, but not one ill reach for alot during readings. Karen

2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult Deck, November 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Vision Tarot (Cards)

This is a difficult deck to read. The minor arcana cards are so simple in design that I could feel little to no impression off them. The major arcana cards are very well done. It's unfortunate that the minor arcana are so plain.

I personally had difficulties in reading with this deck as it would rarely throw out cards that made sense in a given reading. I've not had this problem with my other decks. If anything, it seemed hostile at times.

This could simply be that this was not a deck for me, and it could be wonderful for someone else. Personally, however, I would like to see just a little more detail in the minor arcana cards to make them less difficult to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Attractive and intriguing, October 10, 2000

I don't generally like decks which use photographic imagery, but this one is quite beautiful. Only the 22 Major Arcana are illustrated as such, which is my only complaint, but they are all beautifully done and relate well to traditional Tarot symbolism. While this deck may not be ideal for beginners,it is certainly a must have for collectors.
