Reviews
ng to many readers. One of the
considerable benefits of this deck, however, is that the cards
themselves are the approximate size of a standard playing
deck. Readers who permit the querant to shuffle the
cards may appreciate this, as many non-readers (indeed,
as well as some readers!) have a difficult time
shuffling the slightly larger sized cards that are
characteristic of most Tarot decks. Individuals with more
mundane plans for this deck are additionally fortunate in
that the playing-card equivalent of the Minor Arcana is
notated in the borders of each of the appropriate cards
(e.g., the “Five of Spades” is noted in the border of the
Five of Flamingos).
Although best suited for someone
who already possesses a bit of Tarot acumen, the
little white book (LWB) included with the deck should be
particularly helpful to those not already acquainted with Alice
and her adventures. Each card is well-described in
terms of its depiction of characters and suggested
divinatory meanings. The LW
B offers only the standard
description of the Celtic Cross spread, but is adequate by
most accounts.
In sum, the Wonderland Tarot is a
surprisingly pleasant deck that provides a whimsical
atmosphere, familiar symbolism, and convenience in handling.
This is a marvelous combination for any Tarot deck.
