I always feel drawn to tarot decks, but very seldom do I find one that works for me. Upon viewing the cards, some of the images looked so unlike what I had previously seen. It was so unusual, yet so fresh and unique. People say that the Raven's Prophecy Tarot isn't a deck for beginners. As a beginner, who could not truly get involved with tarot because of the lack of symbolism and straight-forward meanings, I feel this could not be further from the truth. As I was reading through the various meanings of the cards in the accompanying book, I found that I understood the symbolism the author used quite clearly. There wasn't a lot of silly or boring things about it. It was totally put up front for the aspiring diviner to learn. She talks about her opinion about specific cards and what her cards mean. Because of my experience before, I was hesitant on picking this set up because I felt like I could never understand tarot. People just made things way to complicated before this experience. Now, I feel like I can finally learn how to use tarot properly with confidence because of the clear descriptions. There isn't long entries about what the author thinks. It's short and sweet explanations about the cards and the various key points they possess in a general reading. I cannot wait to dive into this set!
These cards are truly a masterpiece. I own several tarot decks and have been doing readings for myself and others for about fifteen years, so I'm definitely not a newbie. I was a bit hesitant to purchase them because although I love Maggie Stiefvater's amazing Raven Cycle series, I have been burned on bad tarot decks before. I hate to buy decks site unseen, so I really hesitated and agonized over my decision. But zero regrets over here. Even better than the cards themselves are the book that they come with, which gave me new insights into aspects of cards that I truly never thought of before. Thank you Maggie Stiefvater for reinvigorating my flagging interest in tarot and refreshing my perspective. Kudos!
These are one of the most beautiful decks of cards I have ever seen ! Hand drawn by the most talented maggie ! They each have a story to them. The book that comes along with it also speaks a lot about the deck , where her ideas came from. Also tips on how to read the cards. Oh boy were her tips good !! Hehe very excited about these ! Love the books and now th deck too!I preordered these like 3 months ago. Maybe a little longer and they came in two days :)
I did a video review of this on my YouTube channel (arwen61) if you want to see a few of the cards. Overall this is a nice product from Llewellyn. The cards are good quality. The accompanying book is excellent. I think because Stiefvater is an author, the guidebook is just that much better for her writing.There are black and white images of the cards in the book which is my preference. The text is in-depth with added insight from the author about the journey she took in the making of the cards.This deck has some unusual representations. One of my favorites is the Magician. Instead of seeing a full figure, we are offered a hand that has tattoos on it. Then Strength is that same hand closed in a fist. I liked the continuity of the hands throughout this deck.Here and there were slight (to me) misses in terms of meanings. The Star card was the most glaring for me. I pride myself on not being too much of a traditionalist but I guess we all have our stumbling blocks. Instead of a woman kneeling or standing near water, we have stars in the sky reflecting in water below.Overall, this deck has a dark, brooding atmosphere. Stiefvater has chosen to use shadow and light to good effect. While I might not recommend this for a Tarot beginner, I think it will make an excellent addition to anyone's collection. It probably won't be one that I will read for my clients with, but I can see using it for meditative and magickal work.
The same as the other person. Its a good deck, except for Im missing four major arcana cards. There was 78 total, but only because four of the minor arcana have been duplicated.Update: has messaged me and they're replacing the deck for me. Im excited to have the full deck!
The art is lovely and the cards are sturdy. The booklet that comes with does a nice job of explaining the method used to interpret the cards. This set was a big hit with my daughter for Christmas - she loves them.
Very intuitive illustrations and very well written guide; the writer is an actualauthor. This is the first deck that I actually was able to read and recall the meanings because the illustrations and the author's written elaborations make perfect sense of the deck. At first glance I did think the deck was simple looking and even somewhat uninspired, but I was very wrong. A very good deck, beautiful and great for beginners.
These are SO beautiful. Maggie posted the process on Facebook, so after following her I was excited to have the final product. The accompanying booklet is also amazing, however, in the way it is written to help interpretation of the readings. Very much the author's unique and sassy voice, which makes it fun.
