Absolutely magical!
The artwork of the cards is so whimsical, sweet, enchanting. The messages are encouraging, positive, uplifting. The set is beautifully made, very high quality and there's a little gauze bag to put your cards into after opening the deck.When using the deck I feel I am being taken into another world filled with magic & wonder.

Love this deck
The cards are breathtaking. Each one starts with 'Keeper of'. The Keepers that would be more commonly expected or obvious in a deck like this would be 'Keeper of Truth,' 'Keeper of Abundance', and 'Keeper of Boundaries.' But then, the Keepers start venturing out into the unexpected with 'Keeper of Whimsy', 'Keeper of Shift,' and 'Keeper of Surrender' (I like that this one is a kind of oxymoron). But the Keepers don't stop there; they continue elevating in their creative intensity with cards such as 'Keeper of the Invisibles,' Keeper of Fairy Tales,' and 'Keeper of the Game.'The booklet is high quality with almost full-size, full-color reproductions of each card next to a very thoughtful, sensitive message for each card. The messages themselves are intriguing, provoking holistic growth, and heart-centered with a kind of soft, feminine, emotive, gentle feel to the messages as opposed to the crystal bright sharpness of some decks that have more of the 'masculine divine intellect' tone. I like both kinds of messages, so neither is good or bad for me, but I thought I'd mention it here in case it matters to anyone. At any rate, the softer feel of the messages merges flawlessly (vibrationally speaking) with the art. The deck is very cohesive, in general, with the art and the messages.I also enjoy the art on the back of the cards as care was taken to ensure that the shared art was just as lovely as the art on each card front. I consider this an especially nice touch as many deck creators seem to forget that the art you see the most is the shared art and they skimp out on it by making it generic.The quality of the cards is good, probably slightly thicker than the average deck, but very flexible, too. Thick enough only so that you know they won't get bent too easily and will last a long time. They come in a sturdy box that is secured but also easy and intuitive to open (with a magnetic flap!). So you don't have to guess how to open them or ruin the box trying to open them on the wrong side as with some decks.

So much emotional depth
Wow! These cards help you dig so deep emotionally. They feel very personal & powerful. My first personal readding was so deep and eye opening. The artwork is gorgeous and allows you to be pretty intuitive with your readings. I can tell this deck and I will do good emotional work together 💛 The story behind the tree keepers is so beautiful. My one "con" is how slippery they are because the gloss. They are very very glossy. But it doesn't take away from the cards. The quality is wonderful! The cards don't feel flimsy. I love the gold edges. They come in a sturdy box with a very detailed guidebook. The guidebook also has touching poems and beautiful art. You can tell so much thought was put into this deck. I am so grateful to have stumbled across this one. Buy it, you won't regret it!

My favorite deck
This deck is exquisite. I adore Stephanie Law’s art and so bought this deck without knowing much about it and it’s my favorite deck now. I wish there was a little more history included in where the lore came from, but even so, the cards are really poignant and wise and always give me solace and insight when I turn to it. The deck is high quality with beautiful gold edges and a great little box with the book and even a pouch for the cards. I have bought this as a gift for others and hope they love it as much as I do.

Beautifully enchanting and long awaited, this is a lovely companion for the Shadowscape Tarot
I have been waiting for this deck!!! The storytelling and artwork by Stephanie Law is comprised in her usual entrancing and magically detailed storytelling which is always breathtaking. This deck is the long awaited companion to the Shadowscapes Tarot. The collaboration with Angi Sullins who has authored several decks such as, Wild Woman Rising, Woman in Total Control of Herself, Divine Nature, and the Wisdom of Hafiz Oracle, is profound in her prolific way of offering us a journey toward self realization and discovery. Her telling of the mythology, legend, and folklore in the druid relationship with trees and their sacred presence pulls you in to the magical detail of Stephanie's artwork...it is all together captivating and enchanting.Technically, the only drawback to this deck is the card stock which I feel US Games could do better on. I know they offer other mass market decks in the higher grade glossy "linen" stock, that for me would justify the paying of a higher price for the improved clarity to the artist's detailed artwork. The stock itself is flexible without being flimsy, and it does shuffle quite easily especially if you are a riffle shuffler. However, be aware the edges are gilded and will eventually wear off. I'm not sure what happened to the green edging that was originally intended for this deck. The 44 card deck includes a full color guidebook that is made of a premium paper, which again makes me wonder why they opted for the overly glossy card stock. Overall this is a fantastic deck and one that I am sure will become an age old favorite among the tarot community as the Shadowscapes tarot has.

Wonderful <3
This deck caught my eye thanks to its beautiful intricate illustrations and the story of how it came to life. The deck comes in a nice organza bag, and a sturdy box with magnetic closure. It's absolutely beautiful, made of a glossy cardstock, and the booklet is gorgeous too with added illustrations on its pages, and occasional poems. The messages resonate and are full of wisdom. I love trees and lore and this deck has become an instant favorite! I already bought a 2nd one, to gift to a friend. <3
