Thelema Tarot (Thelema Tarot, 1)

The media could not be loaded. These are the most beautiful tarot cards I have ever seen. The size is just right for me to shuffle, and each card is so beautiful that it is almost an art. I am pleased to have bought this card deck and highly recommend it.

This deck is astoundingly beautiful! Just about every card looks like a piece of art. The court cards, while still beautiful, are a bit stilted -- but that's sort of how they come across in the Rider Waite deck as well.It's just pure joy to look at each of these cards. They are not completely true to the Rider Wait symbolism but they are astoundingly beautiful and like with any deck if you study it enough and really learn how to relate to the deck your readings should be fine. But for me right now, I'm still learning the basics of reading -- so I'm sticking with the Rider Waite until I GET IT.I guess for me, they are SO stunningly beautiful, I'm kind of distracted from the stories that the deck might tell me. This might subside with time and practice. Where you might be like "oh yeah." vs "oh wow! this is so luscious and beautiful!"I hope to get some photos for y'all to see. If not, google videos about the Thelema deck and you'll get to see each of the cards in various video reviews. But in case someone was on the fence wanting to get these -- get them! My deck has no issues with any of the corners. The cutting, color, and lamination are all lovely. I have yet to shuffle them though. But the deck that I bought from Twin Lens Media was and is perfect -- no flaws in the cardstock, printing, or cutting. You'll know best if you want to make this just an "art deck" or if you want to make this a "working deck".Thank you Lo Scarabeo, for an amazingly beautiful and magical looking deck! I was initially worried b/c I had found like 4 duplicate cards but I still got a complete and lovely set. So -- as long as I wasn't short changed -- I welcome the spares.

So few I find fit with me. My taste is very aeclectic. I definitely don't box myself in with a certain art style, although I do prefer RWS based decks. The major thing that kills my ability to enjoy a deck is inconsistency. And wow,there is so much of that in so many decks. You get a few amazing cards and then...what the heck is this?? Or its quite obvious some cards were rushed to finish and the art quality just took a dive on them. As as for computer generated art, how can the artist do some amazing images only to have a handful of the cards so out of proportion?! Giant head and little legs. How could they not notice? If I like the theme or the premise of the deck, consistency is key. That all the cards look like they belong in said deck. None so out there as to be startling. And this deck has that, beautifully. Yes, there are some images I prefer over others, but all cards belong. The last deck I purchased that had consistency like this was The Hidden Realm. So, I love this deck! My one disappointment is the card stock. Too easily dented. But it is, thankfully, mass market so I will just get a back up or two and not worry about it. It's is a borderless beauty with a misty quality and beautiful images. Definitely in my top ten and I have been reading and buying tarot for over thirty years. It just hit me recently what brings a deck into my line up of often reached for one's. All of my favorites are consistent. RWS, Morgan Greer, Bohemian Gothic, The Cosmic, Hidden Realm, Tarot of the Old Path, Dame Daddy's Mermaid, Wild Unknown, Victoria Regina and now, The Thelema.

I almost didn't purchase this deck because I read some bad reviews here on Amazon about the quality of the cards. One person wrote that the corners weren't cut properly, another wrote that the deck contained duplicates, and still one more said that there were cards missing. Well, I don't know what happened there, but the deck I received couldn't be more perfect. I couldn't upload photos tonight to show you, but I'll try to edit this review later and possibly add some pics. It truly is a remarkable and completely perfect deck of tarot cards. The artwork is beautiful and the meanings of each cards true to origin. I resonated with the cards immediately and I've now moved the deck to the front of my stack because it's quickly grown to be a go-to favorite. I couldn't be happier. I can only assume whatever the problem was in the past has been fixed, so I recommend not paying attention to the old negative reviews. Buy the deck if it appeals to you. If it doesn't arrive as expected, you can always return it. As for me, I love mine and am keeping it! :)
