Reviews
completely turned me away. Not a fan of “secret societies”,
I recoiled at the notion that the infamous
Illuminati were somehow connected to the design, production
or distribution of this deck. This association
triggered a stubborn determination on my part not to acquire
it. Regretfully, I suspect this might be an issue for
many prospective buyers.
I kept however returning to
the deck for perusal because it was just so darned
lovely! In the end, I broke down and ordered it. As soon
as the deck arrived I opened it with anticipation and
it honestly didn’t disappoint. Sometimes Tarot decks
look so much better online but not this one. Its
every bit as lovely (if not more so) than it appeared on
my monitor.
After purchasing the deck I discovered it
had absolutely nothing to do with the Illuminati
society! I was thrilled. I have been a professional
reader for more than 35 years and as you can imagine I
have quite a few decks and have read with too many to
count. This deck is one I use daily in my readings.
Clients love its imagery and so do I.
The details,
colour and characterization are brilliant.
The quality of
the card stock, the coating and the gold around the
edge are of the finest quality. This is a deck that
stands up to extensive daily use.
The single only thing
I would want to change is the size of the deck. The
imagery is so finely detailed that I would love to be able
to see it in a larger format so be able to take in
all those details at a glance. I hope someday the
authors decide to do that, I will be first in line to buy
one.
