Customer Reviews

Deep, intelligent, and beautiful

This book and deck are the most profound I have found. I had given up on tarot because the most commonly used decks and books are so materially oriented, mostly interested in money, health, and romance. This deck and book set, however, is both intelligent and spiritually wise. I was a scientist before I retired to explore art and spirituality, and it is a rare book that does not seem naive in one or more of these dimension. Thank you, Pamela and Joyce. I also posted this review in response to the deck that accompanies the book. I would recommend getting both, although I started with the book and then got the deck.

A beautiful, deep but easy plunge into the Qabala and Tarot

This book shows the relationship of the Tarot cards to the Tree of Life, the Qabala, an easy entry into the deeper spiritual levels of our being. It also provides beautiful descriptions of the incredible cards of the deck by the same name. Together, the book and the deck present a very LIGHTED view of the Tarot/Qabala. "Just do it!"

an elementally based deck- not a rider clone

this deck has detailed, if somewhat surreal imagery. instead of wands or coins this deck uses fire, to represent spirit, earth, etc. it isn't king, queen, etc. but mother, father, sister, brother. the imagery has sometimes hidden elements that can surprise you long after you think you know the deck. i recomend this deck for more advanced readers, or those more attuned to the elements.

A must-have for any tarot reader!

Of all the tarot decks I have used, this is by far the best. So much so, that it has become a part of my daily life. The art work is beautiful and extremely complex in its symbolism. The companion book continues to shock me in its validity to my own life. Dr. Eakins could not have done a better job! An excellent purchase for both beginning and experienced tarot readers.
