4.0 out of 5 stars Cagliostro - a Mystery of a Deck!, November 15, 2000

By	Juliette Williams "Juliette" (Boulder Creek, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Cagliostro deck really can be a mysterious deck, mirroring its namesake...I've read, studied and written about and collected the tarot for 13 years now, and it's one of my curious favorites, although not a favored one for divination...The power of this deck is unmistakable, yet it can be confusing and is not recommended for a beginner. The Major Arcana features paintings of an alchemical nature, and the Minor Arcana is represented by flat "playing-card" like drawings and symbols, not unlike very early Tarot decks (the layouts of the staves and coins are reminiscent of the Visconti-Sforza deck). The Cagliostro Tarot uses a combination of numerology, astrology, Qabalah and worded representations on each card, hence the somewhat confusing plethora of symbolism. What I am so drawn to in this deck is the downright curiosity of it - when using it in readings (rarely for others, I use this deck mainly when reading for myself) I find readings becoming much more deliberate and forthright, whereas other readings are more open to interpretation. A curiosity well worth it for collectors, while beginners might find it a bit too overwhelmingly full of symbolism.

5.0 out of 5 stars [e-mail], January 22, 2006

By	D. Perry "Diva of Tarot" (Tahlequah, Ok. United States) - See all my reviews

I love this deck !! I have been doing professional readings for over 20 years with this deck. It is advanced for a beginner but, the cards just open up my channel and I can see the entire picture. I have used a few other decks and I have the greatest accuracy with this deck.

5.0 out of 5 stars SO Nice, February 9, 2009

By	Jose Rivera "~SosComoSos" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's nice to own this deck of cards with meaning already printed on the cards. Makes readings so much easier to read and use. Highly recomended.
