Reviews
few sample images online, and fell in love with the
beauty of it.
One of the problems I came across in
learning the Tarot was that many of the decks available
have very repetitive minor arcana cards. You might as
well use a regular deck of playing cards.
This is not
so with the Spiral Tarot. Every single card of this
deck, especially the minor arcana, tells a story. These
cards will speak to you. I disagree with what the first
reviewer of this deck said, that the art was disappointing
when it came to the minor arcana. Compare this deck to
most and you will see that the artist actually took the
time to artistically represent a situation to convey
the meaning of the card to you. Are the minor arcana
cards as detailed as the major arcana? No. But to me
they speak volumes more than the majors.
The colors
are beautiful, the art is very well-drawn, meanings
easily interpreted through the pictures. The minor arcana
changes time periods in the pictures and this only adds to
the uniqueness of this deck.
If you get the book
that goes along with this deck, you will see a story
unfold throughout the entire set of cards, beginning with
The Fool. It is amazing to me what Kay Steventon did
for understanding tarot. I would highly recommend this
deck to any beginner.
