Review
Every now and then, people wonder what they should get as their first tarot deck. I always recommend this one.

There's no lapse in quality between the Majors and the Minors, which I reckon is always important to help teach the tarot, but on the other hand there is a fair bit of nudity, both male and female. Younger readers are therefore better of starting with a different deck, which is a shame because because Death and The Devil are genuinely original, the Devil in particular depicting a man and woman who could actually escape to the daylight outside- if they'd only let go of the treasure chest.

Though all the suits are well done, I've got a particular liking for the Wands. The Ace is a mixture of New Age crystal tips and a DNA helix, while the Eight shows wands as mystic rocket ships!

The deck would suit any learner but believe me, it's also a jewel in a larger collection.
