A great deck., February 7, 2003
I use this deck almost every day, and I just love the colors and the imagery. It is a very friendly and positive deck. The book is really great, it has a good paragraph or two for every card and it does give reversals. It also has an activity for each card too, something I've never seen in a basic deck-based-book. Some activities are spells, meditations, etc. It's really well done. The cards are a good size for smaller hands, and they are plastic coated and very glossy. I spilled water on my deck, and the water just beaded up and rolled off- the cards were fine! Not many decks are made this way. I do not find the deck too sweet and fantastical, although it has faries on some cards. I love all the vegetation (ferns and such) that seems to grow right out of the cards. The colors are rich and relaxing. Overall, I really like this deck. ...

Beautiful tarot cards, February 6, 2006
This was the first tarot deck I ever owned and in fact, these were the first tarot cards I ever encountered. A friend of mine gave them to me as a Christams gift. He was an expert tarot reader and somehow saw in me a budding intuitive full of potential (way before I had that realization myself). he gave me this deck as he thought that it would be an excellent starting point for a beginner: the cards are beautiful, very feminine, very "lunar" (obviously) and very fairylike. I had never encountered the Tarot before, so these cards were the doorway through which that initiation occured, in some ways my very first step into the intuitive world. Because of these reasons, I am very fond of these cards, even if I moved on to other , probably better decks a long time ago.
The major limitation in these cards is that the symbolism present in most tarot cards is not as clearly drawn out. They are not as precise symbolically as decks such as the Raider-Waite tarot or the Morgan-Greer deck. However, since I experienced using these as a beginner, I found that they were excellent for trigering psychic ability. I found that each time I sat with these cards, I felt as if I could walk through them into another world. Some of the "symbolic" details in the cards were so vague that I was forced to rely much more on my inner "sight", than on traditional interpretation. I am not sure that that was such a bad thing. I personally benefited from the process.
So, if you are looking for a very "traditional" and symbolically explicit deck, this one will not do. But if you a looking for a very beautiful feminine dreamy set of cards to help you tune into the subtle realms of reality, you might find great satisfaction in these tarot cards. I personally enjoyed them very much.

Beautiful and full of meaning., July 20, 2003
By A Customer
Someone said this deck hasn't Christian symbols.In fact,though the author is Wiccan,she has incorporated the symbols of the Rider-Waite in this deck,though you sometimes need the descriptions from the book to notice this(I'm Christian myself).
I love this deck.It was the first deck I ordered,and it's still one of my top favourites.Because it's almost R-W,only so much more fantastical,I rather use this deck than the ones less traditional.
The Moon Garden is not shallow.A new world will open to you if you explore this deck.
