Description
The Traditional Tarot for the 21st Century Most Tarot decks with really spectacular designs are really just art collections. The Gilded Tarottranscends this limitation by having some of the most strikingly beautiful art on any Tarot deck, yet follows the Rider-Waite-Smith model. The result is a unique deck that any person with some Tarot experience will find instantly familiar and usable. This deck can be used with any Tarot system or book. You really must see the cards to believe their show more beauty. The High Priestess dances on water in a translucent dress of stars. She bends backwards in front of a crescent moon, looking like a classic lamp from the 1920s. The Wheel of Fortune shows the zodiacal wheel around a solar center as part of a bizarre, almost alien machine. The Hanging Man follows this machine concept, but he is dressed in brilliant reds and greens. The colors are deep and intense, almost metallic. They draw you in and will have you staring at the images repeatedly. But this is more than a deck to look at, it's a deck to use! The Gilded Tarot Companion, a full book by Tarot expert Barbara Moore, is included with this deck. It's a complete introduction so that even a beginner can use this deck right away. If you're tired of the old style of the RWS deck and its imitators, if you're looking for a familiar deck that will take you into the future, this is the deck you want to use. show lessTags

This deck came highly recommended, but computer-constructed art just doesn't do it for me. It's still lovely, managing to be dark and bright by turns, but I've never been able to really get into it.
A beautiful deck by Ciro Marchetti. His images are lovely, but some find them a bit cluttered, bright and busy. I find new information every time I look at a card. The 10 of Pentacles is a particular favorite. Highly recommended for the beginner and advanced reader alike.
Very pretty, beautifully designed but difficult to handle because they're slippery.
