5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cards, insufficient book, December 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Tarot of the Old Path (Book & Card Deck) (Cards)

The Tarot of the Old Path deck is a wonderful deck that speaks to the reader. The symbolism is rich, the colors vibrant. An excellent deck for intuitive Tarot readings. The book tends to describe things down to the nth detail, and tends to get pedantic and set in the meaning of each card. A Tarot deck should be studied carefully on one's own before utilizing a book, if you choose to utilize a book at all. If you buy this deck simply for fortune telling, then by all means read the book. For intuitive readings, set the book aside and let the deck speak to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Study the cards first..., December 9, 2002

By	Kellena J Crippen "kellena" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I bought these cards three of four years ago, the first deck I bought for myself (my first deck was a gift). I was attracted to the pictures on the box, and bought them on a whim. When I opened them up, they really didn't speak to me. Try as I might, I couldn't do a reading with them at all. So I bought another deck and used it exclusively until a few months ago. I was beginning to have "issues" with this other deck, so I pulled out the Old Path and began using them in a professional readers course I was taking. After about 4 weeks, I suddenly found myself doing much better with the deck, but the additional images in the background of many cards had all of us in the class doing symbolism research in our spare time. For example, the toad in the tower card. For frogs there of course is the amphibian aspect, and the "touch a frog get warts" tale, as well as the "kiss a frog find a prince"... but what about a TOAD? Another difficult card for many of us was the 6 of swords, the single card in the deck with no human in it. We all knew what the 6 of swords meant, but what about this picture? Then serendipity struck again and I saw the book and found I had just enough cash to buy it. Another reviewer has mentioned that the book analyzes the cards to nth degree, and I agree. But for myself, and the other experienced readers in the class, it was a moment of "Eureka!" to find that the mushrooms in the page of pentacles hands added depth to the card, etc. And now, everyone in the class has gone out and bought the deck, including the facilitator.

SO, if you like the deck but aren't a walking encyclopedia of symbolic knowledge, the book is an excellent reference that will add depth to readings done with this beautiful deck.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wiccan imagry, but not unfamiliar to anyone..., July 27, 1999

By	Kirsten M. Houseknecht "kirsten@fabricdragon.com" (philadelphia, pa USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tarot of the Old Path (Book & Card Deck) (Cards)

the Tarot of the Old Path is certainly pagan in tone. the illustrations are subtle, incorporating traditional tarot symbols (like the two pillars in the high priestess card)without being any less origional. i found that the cards had enough similarity to standard rider-waite decks to be familiar, but were much more attuned to Wiccan philosophy than to ceremonial magick. I would recomend this deck to Wiccans and Pagans primarily, but also to anyone who collects or likes a variety of artwork.

I love the deck which I bought separately, but this book was a severe disappointment. Basically a large print version of the in packet pamphlet. Read more

This book is a great addition to the little booklet that comes with the cards. It's easy to follow and is great for women of all ages.

2.0 out of 5 stars The book is not necessary.
The Tarot of the Old Path deck is beautiful and quite original, but all you need to interpret it is the instruction booklet included with the deck. Read more
