[(Tarot of the Sidhe)] [ By (author) Emily Carding ] [March, 2011]

Mesmerised. the first flip through give me such a deep calming energy. Each image is full of details and you just soaking in all vibes and vibrations. 1st reading amazing sport on. Deck interview give me message that this Deck is Dancer King- gift of wisdom and I am a Dreamer Queen -gift of reason.You can read from images, read as tarot association, or as oracle from titles on the bottom of the cards. Some says they do not like the chunky borders but I think for the start it is intensional as the cards vibrations will just overflow you. Later I will trim the side borders a bit then in next step trim the sides completely to realise the energy.Long story short - love it and will def used it regularly , I am so drone to it and just want to read and flip through the cards constantly. Is it my soul Deck? Time will tel. Glad I finally decided to have it.

When this deck first came about, I looked at images of it for quite some time, and never felt any attraction to it at all. People at Aeclectic Tarot were raving about it, but every time I opened a review or looked at a scanned image, I couldn't get past the alien look and slanted eyes of the creatures in the deck. It frightened me a bit. But eventually I learned more about the elementals and the faery folk. I have meditated upon them and tried to acknowledge and invite their presence in my life. After a moonlight stroll under the Barley Moon in 2011, during which I tried with all my senses to experience earth, air, fire and water, images from this deck came into my mind, and I realised how beautiful and compelling this deck is, and so I ordered it.I have loved it since the day it arrived. It may well be the most beautiful deck in my collection. This deck plays an important role in my unfolding relationship with Otherworld. I really feel a connection to it, and I'm grateful to Emily for painting it, and for seeing that it is published by a company who can put it out for such a reasonable price. Thank you, Emily!There are the usual 22 majors in this deck, followed by the four suits. The suit names have been changed from Swords, Wands, Cups and Pentacles/coins to Dreamer, Warrior, Dancer, Maker. The elemental correspondence is made very plain by printing it in all capital letters on the Ace card of each suit: Dreamer=Air, Warrior=Fire, Dancer=Water, Maker=Earth. The courts are changed to Princess, Prince, Queen and King, and each has been given a second title, 'Gift of ____.' For example, Dreamer Princess is the 'Gift of Telling'. In fact, the all minors have key phrases at the bottom of the cards, but it is very small print and easily ignored if you don't like that sort of thing.The deck has thick black borders, enhancing the extremely colourful artwork, and serving as a porthole to entering the card for meditation. Each card is 3.5x5 inches (roughly 9x13 cm), and it is fairly thick card stock, so the deck is bit brick-like at 1.25 inches (3 cm) thick. I rather like a sturdy, brick-like deck, though. The texture of the cardstock is quite plasticky and slippery, but please don't let that be a deal breaker! The cards will stand up to a lot of wear, even if they are bit slidey. The box is lovely and sturdy and makes a nice contrast to the deck as it is white. The companion book has small print, but is well bound, and Emily's unique way of expressing card meanings through first person monologue and verse is charming.I can't praise this deck enough, really. It is quite remarkable.

I love this deck after purchasing before, I decided to get a copy for my son who's birthday it is in September. I got it it back in August but opened it today and it contains no guide book? So hoping Amazon will have another copy in stock. Before the 14th.Cards are vibrant, but borders are a little thick I think, would be better borderless..Love it 😀

A truly stunning Tarot deck. The artwork is glorious.However, for me, the borders are way too big, which detracts significantly from the artwork (Why oh WHY do designers do that?!)Another slight niggle is that they are extremely large (think oracle deck size) and with there being 78 of them it makes for quite a handful if you have small hands. They're also heavily laminated which, combined with their size, makes them quite difficult to overhand and riffle shuffle, and as a result, I haven't used the deck as much as I'd like to.Shame...Nonetheless, I'm pleased to have it in my collection for the artwork alone, although unless I trim it to a more manageable size, I can't see it getting regular use.....such a shame.

I haven't had a chance to work with these cards yet but wanted to express my disappointment at the fact they are so heavily laminated. They are also wider, and the pile of cards is taller, than any other deck I own, and the cards also stick together slightly due to the shiny surfaces, making them difficult to shuffle.The artwork, however, is richly coloured and detailed. The images seem powerful at first glance, especially the minors and court cards - which are, in most cases, as detailed as the majors. I imagine this would make the Sidhe tarot a good deck for mediation work.I'll edit this review once I've had a chance to get to know them better.

This tarot deck is simply magical. I love the connection of the dreamers, dancers, warriors and makers with the suits of air, water, earth and fire. It's so well thought of.The only thing I dislike is that the cards are sticky but that will go away with plenty of shuffling.I think it's a trick to get us into using it often. The sidhe are playful so I wouldn't be surprised :)Beautiful artwork and poetic companion book.Thank You

All I can say about this I love it. The box it comes in is great. The guide book is great. The card stock is amazing, glossy thick finish. The artwork is gorgeous. It is one of the best tarot decks out there. On the other hand it does not follow the Rider Waite system and the artwork may not be everybody's cup of tea. So do research this on google before buying.

Wow, wow, wow! I love this deck! The cards are beautiful and evocative, they give clear readings and are powerful to journey into! I'm so happy to work with this deck! Thank you Emily!
