The Light Seer's Tarot






The Light Seer's Tarot by Chris-Anne is beautiful. I love this deck. It’s like a modern version of the classic Tarot. The cards are great quality. Large and smooth, printed on thick card. The art is gorgeous.
As a visual artist I really appreciate the fine drawing and beautiful coloration in these illustrations. The images really speak to me. It's easy to get a good feeling for the meaning of each card just by looking at the pictures. I also like that this deck is closely based on the classic Rider Waite Tarot, using the same titles for each card. A bonus for beginners who are just sorting out the card meanings.
The guidebook it comes with is tiny, but somehow they managed to fit 184 pages into it. They are packed with valuable insight relating to each card, black and white reference image of each card as well as a brief overview of the Major Arcana and minor suits, readings and Tarot spreads.
It all comes in a beautifully printed, sturdy lidded box. Only downside is these cards are a bit slippery and can be hard to shuffle. Still, I highly recommend this one.

Radiant Wise Spirit Tarot




Radiant Wise Spirit Tarot by Lo Scarabeo is an original Rider Waite Tarot Deck but the artwork has been updated with a fresh new color scheme. The original version of the cards tend to be a bit garish, here the colors have been muted and toned down. Gradients have been added which give the images a bit of depth. The overall result is a classic card deck that is pleasing to look at.
I like the borderless version best. The deck has recieved a bit of criticism for modifying the original art. It has been cropped/modified to fit the borderless format but I find it more visually appealing this way. There is also a mini version available too which is a nice size to handle but the cards have a white border.
Set includes a guidebook and sturdy box.
A Beautiful Classic Tarot Deck

The Wild Wood Tarot



The Wild Wood Tarot by Mark Ryan is mysterious and woodsy. The cards feature beautiful illustrations that are a bit unusual. A lot of time and care have been taken crafting the unique images on these cards. Nice high quality deck. Cards have a good feel to them. The surface is just right for handling. The deck is packaged in a sturdy, flat box and comes with a lovely full size book. The suits have been modified to fit the forest theme, using titles like Sticks and Stones instead of Wands and Swords.
This set is much more than your average deck of cards. It would make a great gift for any Tarot/nature enthusiast.

Tarot Illuminati



This is a wonderfully illustrated, dramatic version of the RWS deck. The art is really different and pretty. The descriptions in the book are beautiful.
This is the card I pulled for myself today, and the description in the book. I really like how this author writes them. There's also a book that comes with this boxed set. It goes into a good amount of detail about the symbolism and makes you realize how detailed each card really is and the thought that went into it.
Tarot Illuminati boxed kit with book. 78 full color card deck and a 160 page book with color illustrations.
