4.0 out of 5 stars The Merryday Tarot is still available for purchase...., February 29, 2004

By	Karen Ladd "lunakasha" (Maine, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would highly recommend the Merryday Tarot deck and book set, if you are interested in nature-themed decks and stunningly beautiful artwork. Artist/author Louisa Poole uses various systems in her deck, including numerology, alchemy and qabalistic systems...the accompanying book is very interesting and worth reading.

Contrary to statements made by some *morally ambiguous* booksellers online, this deck is NOT rare or out of print...you can purchase the book & deck set directly from the author for only $45! Her website is http://merrydaytarot.com.

I would highly recommend this set to anyone who loves tarot, nature and colorful, beautiful artwork!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanted Deck!, June 16, 2002

By	Alison B. Cuff "Number One Midnight Louie Fan!" (Middleboro, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Louisa is one of the most magickal and talented artists in Massachusetts. This deck brings a magickal taste to each reading. With each reading one is transported to the realm of faeries,unicorns and beautiful places rich in symbolism,guidance and intuition. This is a fantastic deck,especially for timing of events to come. When can we purchase the book!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Middle of the road tarot deck - take it or leave it, October 1, 1999

By	m.a.r.i.l.y.n (East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews

This deck has me somewhat torn. I would award high points for the nice illustrations, colors and symbolism, but I'm dismayed by the lack of originality on the part of the illustrator(this deck "borrows" A LOT from the Ancestral Tarot). The cards themselves are a nice size and laminated, but the card stock is very thin and raises questions in my mind about durability.

The addition of key words to the cards was well intentioned perhaps, but it proves confusing in many circumstances. And the numerology references are VERY distracting.

Also, the black and white design on the back of the cards is the most eye-irritating I have ever seen - it was truly unnecessary to put the title of the deck there.

Overall, I do like the deck for the illustrations, but if I knew before what I know now, I most likely would not have purchased it.
