Reviews

In the Author’s Note On The Tarot, Fullbrite and Sim share the view that the Tarot is a pictorial summary of all the divine faculties common to humanity. It acts as a tool to light the way towards harmony with your purpose. I think that this is very well put.

The deck follows traditional structure, with the suits being Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles, and the Court Cards entitled Page, Knight, Queen and King. The Major Arcana carry traditional titles, with Strength as VIII and Justice as XI. There are two extra cards with the deck: an information card with the name of the deck, and the names of the author and artist, and a second card with the following text: “To spiritual seekers, May you find some of your answers herein.”

The cards come in a box that opens at the top, and are accompanied by a 3 ½ inch by 4 µ inch, 92 page companion book entitled “Pearls of Wisdom”. The front cover of the box carries an image of the Emperor, with images of the following cards on the back cover: the Page of Pentacles, the Fool, the Queen of Cups, and the Hanged Man.

On “The Pearls of Wisdom for the Major Arcana”, the authors say: “Each pearl symbolizes wisdom acquired through the hardship of experience or lessons. A pearl is created when an oyster deposits layers of luminous nacre around a grain of sand to protect itself from the irritation of the foreign material. Our life trials, losses, and disappointments are our grains of sand. Through layers of love for ourselves, others, and the Divine, we create our own string of pearls.”

There is a very short introduction to the Tarot, followed by three samples of different three card spreads, and a sample seven card spread. The cards are presented without scans, with a discussion of the cards, followed by commentary on the symbols chosen for the card. For example, on the Fool lists the following symbols: Pearl, Bumblebee, Butterfly, Dog, Dandelions, Chrysanthemums, Salmon, Three of Anything, the Sun, and the River. For Pearl, the commentary is: “I am a free-spirited child of the Universe, open to new experiences. Trusting my instincts, I move with the flow of life.” For Dandelions, the commentary is: “The birth of new ideas and beginnings.”

The symbols for the Minor Arcana are listed by suit, rather than by card. Symbols for the suit of Wands are: dice, straws, coin, crystal, boat, lavender, oak, rue, sunflower, morning glory, and bouquet of sunflower, red rose, white rose and fern. Symbols for the suit of Cups are: lotus, narcissus, cherry, willow, crocus, lavender, koi fish, and dove. Symbols for the suit of Swords are: chess pieces, curtains, purple rose, Blue Spruce, grass, dead white roses, purple coneflower, Daffodil, and a bouquet of green rose, yellow rose, chrysanthemum, black eye susan, and pink tulip. Symbols for the suit of Pentacles are: Tiger Lily, compass, black bird, seeds, peony, and strawberry.

Each Minor Arcana card is defined by keywords. From the book for the Ace of Cups: “New joy. Emotional and physical well-being. A clearing and/or cleaning is taking place. Your heart blossoms in its newfound freedom. Each moment refreshes the spirit. Beauty and goodness overflow. You recognize the privilege of being alive and human. Sip the nectar of the Divine.”

There is an explanation of Rune symbols at the end of the book, as they are carved into the walls on the Portal of Perception on most cards, followed by a bibliography.

The cards themselves are 3 ¥ inches by 4 µ inches, of sturdy, coated cardstock. The backs of the cards show the name of the deck across the top and the bottom, with panels/borders along the side made up of candles at each corner and strands of pearls in between. In the center of the card is a spiral with a white dot at the center. The background behind the spiral is wavy lines representing various colors in the color spectrum. There is a ¥ inch white border around the outer edge of the cards. The symbols used on the back of the cards are: pearls, rainbow, and flaming heads of the candles.

The card faces show a ¥ inch white border, with the card title/suit centered along the bottom of the card. There is a wide spectrum of colors used in this deck, but they are somewhat muted. The style of art is along the line of fantasy/primitive. The associations in the cards are to the Runes, the Triple Goddess Mysteries, and the language of plants and flowers.

While the artwork is well done, the cards are very “busy”. This deck would do well for someone who likes art decks, or for someone who is interested in working with non-traditional symbols. I would not recommend this as a deck for those learning the Tarot.
