About this item

The deck leans towards the Hermetic/Mystical tradition, and draws on the colour symbolism and principles of Paul Foster Case via the Albano-Waite Tarot.

Reviews

The deck follows the Albano-Waite system and is made of 19th century cabinet cards, bits of antique wallpaper and fabric, as well as vintage illustrations and Bento's own drawings/typography. The imagery here is deep and unique, like walking down a long hallway of antique family photos. That being said, anyone familiar with the Rider-Waite deck could pick this up and understand the symbolism. I found it very easy to read once I spent some time with it.

Bento offers the deck in a mini, a standard, and a large size as well as two different paper stocks. I purchased the standard size in a linen stock and I'm glad I did. The linen texture gives the deck a really nice feel and makes shuffling a dream.

If there’s any flaw at all with this deck, it’s that the suits are color-coded, with the court cards a different color than the other pips. An okay choice, but personally I might prefer the court cards to be in the same color as the rest of their respective suit.

This is only a quibble though. Bento is an established reader, so it is likely she had a good reason for separating the court cards from the rest of their suit. I’ve quickly gotten used to this separation, but there was a period of adjustment.

I’ve so often been frustrated by the standard faire in tarot and disheartened by a general lack of taste by deck designers. This deck is a really nice alternative for anybody averse to the standard new age look and feel of so many decks.
