The Illuminated Tarot

First the box is soooo good!! Card stock is amazing,they shuffle so well!! Images are so vibrant detailed. This isn't a deck for beginners because major arcana cards are put into minor arcana(thus reducing number of cards to 53). It might be confusing and tough to get used to it at first. But once you are comfortable with this,you will love it!! Its so good that now it has become my "go-to" deck for any queries. I'm loving it! Glad that i got one..if you are bored of RWS and its clone decks,try this..its amazing! No regrets whatsoever..♥️♥️♥️

This is my first tarot deck. I know the Ryder Waite is the standard beginners' one but hey. So I'll just write on the quality as I've zero experience of other decks and divining with them. The cards are pretty big. Most have written oversize here so I suppose they are. The quality is A-one and there is a colour booklet. And the cards come in a beautiful gold embossed clamshell box.

Beautiful thick and large cards inside a beautiful box. Extremely good quality for the price

Very interesting cards! I like how the author has blended a few Major arcanas with the court cards. I’ve also used them for readings and I quite liked them.

The main reason I brought this deck is for it paintings... Its extremely beautiful, especially if you like ethnic prints (its got the vibe of Madhubani paintings)... The cards are an inch larger in width compared to the RWS cards. They're sturdy and has a grainy texture. The box is very pretty. The book has extremely minimal descriptions which can put a beginner at loss for in depth meanings. The deck has 53 cards, ie., the Minor Arcana minus the Knights plus a Fool card. The suits are named as in a deck of playing cards- spade, heart,etc. The absence of Knights is a bit irksome for me (kinda makes me feel somethings missing in the deck). Also, Major Arcana references have been infused into the suits but mostly the corresponding minor arcana card doesnt sit with the meaning in the RWS card. So eg: Ace of Clubs is actually supppsed to be Ace of Wands but it is Strength card in this deck and therefore its pictorial rep doesn't sit the meaning of Ace of Wands. Therefore in effect you dont have an Ace of Wands in this infused deck. Its a deck you can have if you are collecting or you have an eye for decks that are aesthetically different.

The product is too good! But only for a person who wanna explore the unknown!

Amazing cards!, i love them!

It's a vibrant deck and makes me really happy as I shuffle which I find really easy. The linen like texture and size notwithstanding. Wish I could snip away the borders so bad though ! But the artwork spills over to the white in a majority of the cards. Update: Well I couldn't resist and received my 2nd copy today so I could go ahead and trim my deck without anxiety! ( The box is a real treat. And my humongous Ancestral Path tarot ..which comes in a tuck box..will live in the first copy' s box since the trimmed version can relocate to a nice little pouch. Double benefit!)

I wasn't sure what to expect from this deck. The art is unique and beautiful. The cards are big, more like an oracle card deck. The cardstock is thick and seems like it would hold up well. The simple guidebook is in full colour and gives a few words on each card - just enough. The author has combined some of the major and minor arcana cards to make it a 53 card deck (rather than 78), but this is made pretty clear from the artwork and by thumbing through the guidebook. I was really looking forward to using them. Just shuffling through the cards they had a lovely energy to them. However, my deck arrived missing the '0' card (the fool/joker) which is a pretty important card to be missing! Unfortunately I have had to send mine back. I plan to pick up another copy, hoping for a complete deck this time!

Unique & très original - Collector✨ (En anglais, aisé) Petite Traduction via caitlinkeegancom Créatrice : - Le tarot a généralement 78 cartes, mais ce jeu en a 53. - Comment ça marche? Les jeux de tarot traditionnels comme le jeu Rider Waite Smith ont 78 cartes: 22 arcanes majeurs et 56 arcanes mineurs. - Le Tarot Illuminé a 52 cartes comme un jeu de cartes à jouer standard. Le Joker (qui correspond à The Fool) est la 53ème carte. - Dans Le Tarot Illuminated, les arcanes majeurs sont combinés avec des cartes spécifiques des arcanes mineurs. Pour déterminer quelles cartes seraient combinées, j'ai utilisé la correspondance numérologique et ma propre intuition, basées sur la recherche des significations traditionnelles des cartes. Le tarot illuminé a des crics, qui correspondent aux pages du tarot, mais n'incluent pas les cavaliers. Ces cartes sont créatives, intuitives, grandes & de Qualité Supérieure. Retrouvez également, The Illuminated Playing Cards, by Caitlin Keegan, un double deck, tout aussi Fabuleux. (dernière photo) A vous d'apprécier✨

Quando si parla di "tarocchi" si intende un mazzo di carte formato dagli arcani maggiori (Folle, Mago, ecc) e da quelli minori italiani (coppe, spade, ecc). Per questo motivo gli Illuminated Tarot non sono tarocchi, perché si tratta di un mazzo di carte francesi. Bè, certo... di tutto rispetto! Sono disegnate in modo particolarissimo, con illustrazioni bidimensionali coloratissime in uno stile tra il naif e il surreale. C'è anche un bel libretto a colori con i significati e tutto il resto. Per questo merita 5 stelle.

手元にくるまで時間が掛かり不安になりましたが、コロナの影響だそうです。お店へ連絡すると、大変誠実なご対応で信頼出来る方が運営なさっていると感じました。 カード自体も大変気に入りました。トランプに大アルカナが一部意味が含まれていて、他のタロットとは違い面白いリーディングができそうです。 個人的に個性的なものが好きなので、大切にしたいと思いました。 絵柄も好きです。

I haven't gotten around to playing with it since i got it, i've only done a few readings, but I felt like I HAD to write a review on how aesthetically pleasing the deck is. The package comes with a box, very sturdy with gold detailing, the illustration on it is beautiful and the contrast of the blue/gold make it even more regal and expensive looking. Inside is a little booklet, there really isn't any reading 'instructions' as there are in other divination decks, every card is illustrated in the booklet with words that relate to the card, and for anyone who reads tarot already it's ideal. Thanks to the illustration and freedom of interpretation, this deck feels very intuitive, for someone used to traditional tarot it might be weird to think about a 53 card tarot, but the readings once you start feel so natural, as if the major arcana was somehow still 'incorporated' in these cards where they belong. The illustrations themselves are stunning, colorful and really well thought throughout the deck, and the cards are a very comfortable size, though a little on the bigger size compared to a traditional tarot, but still, comfortable to hold, shuffle and read with. I highly recommend this deck, maybe it's not the best for someone just starting out, but for anyone with basic knowledge this is a beautiful addition to your tarot collection... you won't regret it.
