4.0 out of 5 stars Fun book, with a caveat or two, June 4, 2002

By	Casta Lusoria (Centreville, VA USA) - See all my reviews

The book was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed the read. It had some great ideas, some goofy ones, and ones that went directly on the list of "things to try out at once!" I'd originally purchased the set in the interest of finding a new and different tarot deck-- and was very disappointed to find that the deck included is just a stripped-down variation on the standard Rider-Waite deck.

Some of the suggestions were a little tame; a previous reviewer noted that the book is useless for anyone with an imagination. I wouldn't call the reviewer wrong, but I wouldn't call him/her right, either. If you're looking for some new ideas, it's worth a look. If your life is pretty adventurous already, you might not need this, or want to spend the money. On the other hand, it can certainly be used as a checklist! I got the set on sale, and it was certainly worth the sale price. Not sure if I'd purchase it again, if I had to pay full price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, insightful and lots of fun!, October 22, 2000

By A Customer

Patricia Canova shows great insight in her knowledge of the tarot and human behavior. Each card of the deck represents not only future events in terms of one's career or life path, but also its connection to love and sex. With your birthdate, you can calculate the card that corresponds to you...and your sexual behavior. Mine was terribly accurrate! Ms. Canova also brings a sense of lightheartedness and fun to the book. Even those whose beliefs in the tarot waiver can find true enjoyment and even self revelation in this book and tarot set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wild & Sensual Tarot Cards - a treat and a perfect VALENTINE, February 12, 2001

By A Customer

Now, I collect Tarot Decks but have never seen one like this -- a wild and wacky, fun and free-spirited reinterpretation of the cards, complete with sensual games and erotic suggestions -- but at the same time, the text really lives up to expert and timeless traditional meanings of the cards, as well. A perfect blend of old and new. Delicate and well thought out, not at all obscene. A playful and imaginative modern spin on the cards. The accompanying book really was complete and throught provoking. A treat.
