A beautiful, intuitive tarot deck., March 4, 2002
The Vision Quest Tarot is a Native American themed deck. Although its suits and court cards have been renamed, the meanings mostly follow the standard Rider-Waite interpretations. The artwork is focused on natural scenes, and the traditional suit symbols have been modified to fit this theme. There is Air (feathers), Water (bowls and other clay containers), Fire (arrows and torches), and Earth (woven baskets and plants). The pictures on each card are detailed and somewhat ethereal, creating a very peaceful, organic atmosphere, but they don't go overboard with symbolism and meaning. There is a simple keyword for each card, and the feeling you get from the picture is more important than what you actually see.For example, one of the most striking cards is Eight of Water, "Stagnation". There is a stack of eight bowls of different shapes, most of them are chipped and faded. They sit amidst mud and puddles, and the coloring is all grey and earth tones. The mood created by the picture perfectly matches the keyword and easily conveys its meaning to you. This deck comes with the standard "little white booklet" that details the card meanings and offers a few sample layouts to try. However, there must have been an error in the printing I have wherein the meanings for the Earth suit are printed twice, and the meanings for Air are not there at all. But that just means I'll be working more from my own interpretations of the cards, and with this deck, that is just fine.
