5.0 out of 5 stars These are the best tarot cards ever made!, December 6, 1998

By A Customer

I have never seen such a colorful and exciting deck of tarot cards, and I have looked at a lot of them. This set is completely attractive to a younger crowd of tarot readers and has more symbolism in current times than many of the older tarot cards. If you have an interest in tarot, you have to check out this deck.

5.0 out of 5 stars I now have better card readings, November 20, 2002

By	Arlene E. Dowden (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

I originally purchased the cards first. However, whenever I did a spread, I didn't know how to interpret it. This book has been an essential tool and now my friends, family, and co-workers have asked me to do card readings for them.

Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent companion., November 1, 2002

By	William A. Ricardi (Mountain View, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As I said in my review of the Rohrig, this highly sensual, sexual deck has a lot of subtle differences from the Thoth or the Rider. This companion book will help you navigate these shifts flawlessly, providing deeper insight whenever you are doing a serious tarot reading.

Carl's (fairly traditional) cyclic interpritation of the Major Arcana is quite beautiful. I've seen the theory stated many times, but never with quite the same impact as this book had.

A must read for anyone who wants to take their reading of the Rohrig to a higher level.
