Arcanum Tarot (Arcanum Tarot, 1)

I found the cards mainly by accident on Amazon. Cannot believe they are not advertised on regular basics between Tarot cards. I absolutely love them, art work is very nice and I appreciate all the details cards have to offer. They are so simply beautiful !!! Just love them !!!

Beautiful deck of cards

This is my second time purchasing this deck, I purchased the first one in April when it was released. I felt connected to it when I first saw it on pre-order.I own the Thelema tarot too, but, I didn't connect to it like I did this one. The reason I had to order a second copy is because I wore the first deck out after six months of use. The card stock is thin and will show wear and tear rather quickly if you are a hard shuffler and use it multiple times a day. This is what happened with my first copy, but, I still really love this deck and think that the art work is gorgeous. I am still using this deck on a daily basis and haven't been disappointed yet, it's been accurate in 95% of the readings I've done.And for the record, I've had this second copy for over two months now and it seems to be holding up well with regular use. Some wearing on the edges, but, it is not falling apart like my first copy did. If you like beautiful imagery and can work with a thinner cardstock this deck should work well for you.

I was watching a YouTube video of a tarot reader and she pulled out this deck for the first time in her readings. Mind you, I’ve watched many YouTubers tarot card readers, but i didn’t feel extremely drawn to the cards until I watched this tarot reader who showed these cards. For the first time, I was able to understand so easily what appeared on the cards l, so that I had to have it! I’m a total novice, but this deck makes it so easy to understand the readings and messages. I truly love this deck.

This is a beautiful deck with gorgeous artwork, usually on the brighter side, but clear and precise in its details. Good heavy card stock, fairly easy to shuffle, although this might possibly bend the cards. My one objection is that the artwork lacks the darker allure and edginess of other packs. The images are too family-friendly, not quite cartoonish, but erring on the side of children's books rather than Gothic or medieval. Still, a gorgeous pack, without doubt!

The reason I cannot give this 5 stars is the size of the booklet. So small, hard to find what you're looking for in it, doesn't stay open, it contains like 5 languages. Just print separate booklets for separate languages, give an option for customers to choose which one they want. They made the booklet too small and too thick. You're going to need perfect vision to read it. I realize most tarot decks contain miniature booklets like that unfortunately. My previous oracle deck has a decent sized booklet with one card description per page, so much better. Anyway, about the cards themselves: The images are beautiful. Cards are not very flexible, they are laminated, hurts my hand after shuffling for a while, slide off each other, but I guess they will last forever because of this probably. Did one reading with it, and got a lot of insights, I like the descriptions of the cards in the booklet, as well as the details of the images. I'm glad the pentagram is not upside down on the devil card, it would be more accurate, but I wouldn't want an upside down pentagram on any of my cards. (I read someone complaining about that.)

This is by far my favorite deck. The pictures evoke the correct feeling and give the right message, whereas the standard ryder&waite deck was harder for me to remember meanings as a beginner because on some of the images such as 9 and 10 of cups, didn't look like happy cards even though they had positive meanings... the man looks like he's frowning and that was confusing me as a beginner. This deck however is much easier. The pictures are more clear and there's only 1 or 2 cards that I feel have the same issue as described, but overall the pictures have good symbolism and facial expressions to help convey emotion. The images are very pretty as well and the card thickness and sheen make shuffling easy as opposed to some decks that are more difficult to shuffle

ive been buying this deck for years, as a professional reader it gives my readings a elegant and modern vibe, i love how immersive each picture is!
