This a great tool for self reflection. The cards are beautiful and deeply thought out, combining imagery from many spiritual paths in a synthesis that feels natural and epansive. I've had a deck for more than ten years and it continues to surprise and inspire me. I highly recommend this deck and the guide that it comes with.

This deck just blew me away. The collage prints are so beautiful and this deck is definitely for the 21st century! No intimidating meanings. I really recommend that the companion book be purchased though The Way of the great Oracle if you buy this deck. It will help you as this deck takes you where other decks just leave you. I am surprised this deck is not getting higher stars on others websites for tarot decks. Yes is it different. Yes it can be a bit much, but this deck will never get boring and dry that is for sure. You will be in awe everytime you do a reading. Maybe not for beginners more the intermediate but a beginner if truly into the tarot could work with this deck and let their intuition go! I also recommend James Wanless other book Intuition for the 21st century/Tarot for Business. This book is not just about business its about life! Deb in S.California

Beautiful, modern, artistic, creative interpretation of the tarot. The artwork is bright, vivid and magnificent. lots of symbolism incorporated into each card. I love the cultural diveristy reflected in these cards. The Family cards, with realistic representations of the Court Cards (ex. man or woman instead of king and queen) is such a wonderful idea. I really connect to these cards. Very highly recommend for anyone interested in Tarot from beginner to professional reader.

I call myself a visionary because of this deck.
Never have I come across something that encompasses such a montage of images that peak out at all the appropriate times.
On a side note, I personally do not believe in "reading the book" or "reading the tarot formations"neither the inserts included.
I feel the card is allowing me to part the bushes and peer into whatever soul I am working with at the time.
They strike me as a form of 52 pickup with all the images hanging in the air.
My job is to pick each image one by one and unite them into an appropriate overview for the client.
This deck has changed me , altered my views of beauty and life as we know it.
It challenges the limitations of the 4 sides to a card and whisper their version of maddness into my awaiting ears and eyes.
I have had a blast with these cards, something I view as a special companion , my sidekick.
When you use them do not get overwhelmed by their size and contents, allow yourself a minute to adjust to the images that jump forward and weave a tale for you.
My only other piece of advise to a newbee, dont study the images , don't stare at the cards endlessly,,,,each read is a moment , allow them to dictate to you what song will be sung.
Ill say it again, these cards have been such a link to the beyond for me.
I am grateful we have found each other.
enjoy them .

This was one of the first Tarot decks I purchased in 1987. At the time it was cutting edge with my taste. Very contempory in its presentation. I was simultaneously studying the Crowley-Thoth deck that Mr. Wanless wrote a great workbook for. His Voyager Tarot brought the Tarot into the modern age for myself and many others. This was the deck I began using to read for others.

The card were large and beautifully constructed of universal photography that seemed so profound then. This was just as the digital age was being born. There were no fancy programs to work with. It was truely a major feat at the time. Compliments were given to the cards alone, not my skills reading them! Alas, this was my college years. I was an art student. I had very little money and took them to a party. They were stolen in 1989!

For myself,I Hermetically sealed the deck as well as my current study of the Tarot. I kept reading with the Thoth Deck. After college, many years later I purchased another Photo-montage deck-The Cosmic Tribe Tarot. It was superior indeed! I decided to purchase another copy of the Voyager in 1999.

Time can date our perception of what we consider beautiful or meaningful. That was the case with this particular Tarot. It had lost much of the mystical charm of just 10 years ago. The images are somewhat nostalgic and I do not use it for any professional work. Mr Wanless should try another deck with modern technology being what it is. There are many great photo decks out there. I feel this one is just a little dated in its style.

so you have motherpeace and daughters of the moon for the ladies, I guess that this deck is sort of done for the gentlemen who drum in circles in the woods under the moon. the deck is very white and very male. there are pictures of people of other cultures, but they are there to be exotic and "other." the female energey here isn't a quiet, inner energy but rather one that exists to support the male.

many sacred sculptures and artworks from other cultures are incorporated into some of the cards, but in a way that doesn't seem to reveal a lot of knowledge about the artwork included. why a god of industry on a card traditionally about inner nurturing? I do not get the feeling that the levels of meaning here are as deep as those in say, crowley's thoth tarot, which I love love love. and yes, as someone else stated, the images here do feel dated. I just wish that they felt deeeeeper! (crystals and flowers chosen for the swords and cups don't seem to have any reason for being there other than that they are crystals and flowers...why not blooms of mourning for a card on letting go, or perenials for cards about resiliance, for example.) this deck left me wanting more for the people who made it.

one thing they did give was a very heavy new-age push to sign up for their card course and to send more money and blah blah blah.

the deck I got also had many of the cards stuck together because of the coating. I had to peel each one apart and they don't shuffle so well.

fun to look at, but I don't use it as much as thoth, enchanted or sacred rose.
