5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful! Insightful! Beautiful!, October 22, 1998

By A Customer

The first time I slipped these cards from their box and flipped through them, I laughed out loud with delight! The Inner Child Cards are based on traditional Tarot utilizing the very familiar characters of fairytales (i.e., the Devil is represented by the Big Bad Wolf). The result is a deck which connects readily with our natural sense of insight and intuition. This deck does not contain harsh images and is appropriate for young people. The artwork is gorgeous! It has certainly helped me reconnect with the little girl inside, as well as providing helpful and accurate readings for adults and children alike. If you are a light-hearted and optimistic person/reader, you will love this deck, too!

5.0 out of 5 stars A beutiful and insightful deck., August 27, 2000

By	Uri Raz (Israel) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first saw this deck in a new age shop, and bought it on a whim - it was so beutiful I just couldnt leave it in the shop.

[that was a mistake - I would have paid half the price had I ordered it through Amazon.com, using air-mail shipping]

The cards are very beutiful, drawn in soft pastel colours, and the deck is worth it's price for the art itself, if nothing else. The cards are large, which gives room to the detailed art, which makes it a bit hard to shuffle the cards.

The book is excellent - every card gets a couple of pages of explanations, which retell the relevant fairytale shortly with a brief psychological explanation, and explains the card's meaning clearly.

The cards and book come in a quality box. The cards are smaller than the book, so they come in a box with internal cardbox walls that detach easily - my only complaint. I have a problem finding either a bag or a wood box the size of the cards.

I think this is a *great* deck, and highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Insightful Tarot Deck, October 14, 2000

By	Jean P. Mcdermott "Jill" (Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have used this deck for both Psychic Faires and for personal use. It is most helpful in drawing out inner psychic awareness without having experienced tarot readers relying on preset ideas of what specific cards are "supposed" to mean. My only complaint is that the oversized cards often make it difficult to carry on a daily basis. Best deck I have found to date!!
