Arcanum Tarot

This is by far my favorite deck. The pictures evoke the correct feeling and give the right message, whereas the standard ryder&waite deck was harder for me to remember meanings as a beginner because on some of the images such as 9 and 10 of cups, didn't look like happy cards even though they had positive meanings... the man looks like he's frowning and that was confusing me as a beginner. This deck however is much easier. The pictures are more clear and there's only 1 or 2 cards that I feel have the same issue as described, but overall the pictures have good symbolism and facial expressions to help convey emotion. The images are very pretty as well and the card thickness and sheen make shuffling easy as opposed to some decks that are more difficult to shuffle

This is my second time purchasing this deck, I purchased the first one in April when it was released. I felt connected to it when I first saw it on pre-order. I own the Thelema tarot too, but, I didn't connect to it like I did this one. The reason I had to order a second copy is because I wore the first deck out after six months of use. The card stock is thin and will show wear and tear rather quickly if you are a hard shuffler and use it multiple times a day. This is what happened with my first copy, but, I still really love this deck and think that the art work is gorgeous. I am still using this deck on a daily basis and haven't been disappointed yet, it's been accurate in 95% of the readings I've done. And for the record, I've had this second copy for over two months now and it seems to be holding up well with regular use. Some wearing on the edges, but, it is not falling apart like my first copy did. If you like beautiful imagery and can work with a thinner cardstock this deck should work well for you.

This is a well crafted deck. The imagery is stunning and beautiful. It is very close tho the Thelema Deck even with the images. Thelema is more subtle in color and has more flex and give to the cards. I like the pop of color throughout the deck it makes it feminine and romantic. Stunningly beautiful to look at and photographs well. These cards look great on video. They are glossy and beautiful. They read well for romance readings. A very delighful deck. High quality at an affordable price.

This is a beautiful deck with gorgeous artwork, usually on the brighter side, but clear and precise in its details. Good heavy card stock, fairly easy to shuffle, although this might possibly bend the cards. My one objection is that the artwork lacks the darker allure and edginess of other packs. The images are too family-friendly, not quite cartoonish, but erring on the side of children's books rather than Gothic or medieval. Still, a gorgeous pack, without doubt!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DECK!!! I RESONATED WITH THIS DECK BEFORE I EVEN RECEIVED THEM! LOVE THE DESIGN OF THE BACKS OF THE CARDS AND THE IMAGES ARE STRIKINGLY STUNNING!!! BEAUTIFUL DECK.THE GUIDEBOOK IS ALSO WONDERFUL & DETAILED!!! I LOVE THIS FN DECK PERIOD.... 1 OF MY FAVES FOR SURE!!! THIS IS A DOPE DECK! U WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. THE CARDSTOCK OS PERFECT TO ME DEFINATELY NOT FLIMSY OR SUPER HARD WHERE THEY'RE HARD TO BEND...MOVABILITY IS WONDERFUL!!! THIS MY ONLY BE USED AS MY PERSONAL DECK AND NOT FOR CLIENTS.I AM REALLY FEELING THIS DECK!!! ABSOLUTELY EXQUISITE!!!!

The reason I cannot give this 5 stars is the size of the booklet. So small, hard to find what you're looking for in it, doesn't stay open, it contains like 5 languages. Just print separate booklets for separate languages, give an option for customers to choose which one they want. They made the booklet too small and too thick. You're going to need perfect vision to read it. I realize most tarot decks contain miniature booklets like that unfortunately. My previous oracle deck has a decent sized booklet with one card description per page, so much better. Anyway, about the cards themselves: The images are beautiful. Cards are not very flexible, they are laminated, hurts my hand after shuffling for a while, slide off each other, but I guess they will last forever because of this probably. Did one reading with it, and got a lot of insights, I like the descriptions of the cards in the booklet, as well as the details of the images. I'm glad the pentagram is not upside down on the devil card, it would be more accurate, but I wouldn't want an upside down pentagram on any of my cards. (I read someone complaining about that.)

I have been reading tarot since I was 16. I am am also a Jungian psychiatrist with 24 years of experience, trained with Brian Weiss in past life regression therapy and have done thousands of regressions, astologer and Bach flower remedy prescriber (using patient's charts to identify karmic lessons). With that said, I am not easily impressed by tarot decks. I love this deck. It is so pretty and looks so real. Easy to manage and romantic. It is one of my favorite decks. It allows an easy read and one that has a different tone, softer, sweet but the messages are clear and come through without problems.

Gorgeous tarot deck that is true to RWS. This is easy to connect with, accurate, and beautiful. If you are looking for a realism version of RWS, this is it. Makes the cards easier to understand & they hold a ton of energy & info. This is a great beginner deck. I am so happy with this purchase- I have many decks (50+) and these are part of my regular rotation because I trust them & they really speak.

Een prachtig deck tarotkaarten. M.a.w. een must voor iedere beoefenaar van de tarotleer. Kan ze zeker aanbevelen.

When I saw these I was immediately drawn to them! They are so beautifully illustrated. I am very pleased that they are easy to use/read even for beginners in the way it clearly shows the different elements. Something that is less good is that some edges have become worn from just mixing/shuffling them for a little while... The risk is that they will look worn out after a while. Otherwise, they are very pleasant and easy to shuffle

This was an extraordinary discovery! I’m used to buying Tarot decks, but this is the best I’ve ever had! I strongly recommend it to everyone! It’s an excellent artwork! Their images are so enchanting and talk about the meanings of Tarot, perfectly ! I’ve known Tarot cards for many years and now I can enjoy this new deck to do a lot of new readings! I’m over the moon!

Shuffle exceptionally well, high quality cards. The imagery is beautiful, meanings are based very much so on raider waite. Might not be beginners, there isn’t a lot to tell by the imagery such as witches tarot. Great deck!

Beautiful, containing book with a meanings of cards. As all tarot decks have 78 cards, same here. But in the real they look more beautiful and pictures on the cards is easy to understand as I do more intuitive readings than going by the book. But since I have them got easy connection with them.
