CRAFTERIAN Tarot Cards, 78-Card Deck, Original Tarot for Beginners & Experts with Guide Book, Gift Bag & Box, Fortune Telling Game, Adults, Black

When I got my first Tarot Deck the artful indies were the exception. And I loved them. Always go with what speaks to you, right? Recently I started a new kind of project and I couldn't believe it but none of my decks were right. So I went looking for a new deck w/o knowing what I was looking for LOL! I looked everywhere. From Etsy to Google online. There are many beautiful decks out there! But I came to realize I didn't want a specialty deck at all. I wanted a deck that spoke only Tarot. No strong modern pretty close up fantasy faces to do the talking. I was surprised RWS decks began showing up in my "maybe" choices for the first time ever. Then I went on Amazon for something completely different than Tarot but Tarot is what I ended up with. When I saw this deck I knew I had found what I was looking for. When the deck arrived ( as it did quickly as it was Amazon) and I held it, it fit right. Not too big. Easy to shuffle. I had never bought a Craft card deck before either. This RWS deck looks vintage "ageless", rich being somewhat classical and dark with a coppery gold metalic trim on 4 sides. It is beautiful without being committed to any specific fantasy art character/personality. It is unfiltered Tarot. It comes with a booklet....if you have eyes like mine you will have to enlarge the print maybe copy on your printer ? No biggy. You can choose to get a Tarot book that describes each RWS card meaning or google each card meaning for free. Your choice. There is no stickiness once you open and shuffle the deck giving it air to breathe. If you are missing a card go thru and check each card and feather shuffle it . My guess its it will show up. The decks are vacuum packed at manufacturing. The cards are strong, smooth, pliable. Its the right deck for me this time around. If you are looking for a deck you might want to give this one a look. Hopefully you will know when you see it! Best of Luck on your card hunt!

I reviewed this deck on 9/20/22. In my video I showed cards. I pulled some. The first was the Tower. I commented on this card. I kept pulling cards to share but there was a message that for me that I refused to see. I was consumed by giving a good review. The cards will always tell you what you need to know. Rely on your intuition not your Ego. The Tower moment, the broken heart, king of Pentacles were telling me that my dad was in serious trouble. He passed away on 9/26/22. That High priestess card that I laid down but didn’t hold up was telling me to stop! I also pulled The Queen of Wands which always represents me. The message was there but I kept going. I did look back on this video before today because on that day when I pulled those cards, especially seeing The Tower and The Queen of Wands I did feel there was a message for me. It’s almost a year now that my Dad passed. I can’t stress enough that Tarot reading is not a game. A standard question I will ask “what do I need to know today” and I pay attention. I love reading especially for those who have lost loved ones. I’ve learned that I can channel those who have passed. I did channel my Dad through tarot and I can say I was told exactly what he told me when he was alive. I wouldn’t trade this gift for anything. Thank you for reading my message ♥️ I love these cards. They are glossy, hence a little glare in one of my photos. I like the glossy feel and appearance of this deck. The black background enriches the art work. There’s an antique feel to the artwork of this deck as well. The cards are sturdy and good size. I will only buy cards with a hinged lid or two part boxes. I’m glad I was drawn to this deck. I ordered a new box that this deck deserves. Don’t let the box stop your purchase. I’m glad I didn’t. Lastly, there is a little paper booklet included. If you’re a beginner I strongly recommend you find a Rider Waite book or reader that resonates with you as there are many different Interpretations out there. While the suites carry the same themes, the interpretation of each card will vary per reader and or creator of the decks you purchase. May you find much success on your reading journey. Much love, Marsha

These cards are GORGEOUS!!! The quality is great, and the colors and graphics are so beautiful. I’m in LOVE with them!

True to the original illustrations, but beautifully reimagined, the darker colors give it a more serious feel to me, this deck has such a nice vibe!

Good deck. Delivered on time.

Beautiful, sturdy cards.

I bought both light & dark versions of this deck. The card stock is the same (as you can see in the short video I included). Both decks have gold edging, which causes the cards to stick a bit. Separating the cards by placing cards one after the other between 2 piles. Then shuffling, helps to unstick them. Do that a few timed & they eventually get unstuck. The books both have the exact same text for upright & reversal meanings. Overall, good quality, good interpretations of the cards & readings are a breeze. Great for beginners & seasoned readers.

Cards are beautiful. Heavy card stock will hold up for a long time. One of my favorite decks and I have a quite a few.
