5.0 out of 5 stars If you can find it, buy it!, November 25, 2006

By	M. Cromarty "mm" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Knapp-Hall Tarot Deck was originally published in 1929 under the name Revised, New Art Tarot Cards. It is the result of a collaboration between Manly P. Hall and the artist, J. Augustus Knapp.
In 1985 it was reissued under the name Knapp-Hall. This is the deck I own; it is my favorite deck for reading. On each card is a unique symbol. The LWB does not explain the meaning of the symbols but does explain their purpose: they act like a mandala. When you meditate on them and on the spread, it is easier to open your mind to inspiration and interpretations that go beyond the traditional meanings of the cards. It works. I get amazing readings using this deck.

The cards are the size of a standard deck of playing cards (easy to handle). The illustrations on the Majors are beautiful illustrations. The minors don't have pictures (which I prefer).

This is a great deck for reading and particularly good for meditation. I know it's long out of print but if you stumble across this deck, buy it! You won't regret it.

[originally I'd given this 5 stars but have since decided that's my personal preference. Based on the lack of illustrations on the minors, and the difficulty that may present to many readers, I have lowered the rating to 3.5.]
