4.0 out of 5 stars A Traditional Deck With A Modern Twist 8 Oct 2008
By Wira P.
First off, I should admit that it isn't really fair for me to be reviewing this deck: I can't read it myself, and I find the strict Rider-Waite symbolism rather intimidating. Bad stuff over.

On the plus side - this is the most beautiful deck I have ever seen;
anyone familiar with Rider-Waite symbolism will be able to read it straight away; it's influences are multi-cultural, with a bit of everything (from Ancient Egyptian art to Manga!), so there's a real eclectic feel to it; this deck has the twin positives of being, on the one hand, strictly traditional and sticking to Rider-Waite symbolism like velcro, and, on the other hand, having a thouroughly modern feel thanks to the many influences on the artist.

This is a must-have deck for lovers of beautiful tarot, and even though I couldn't read it myself I found it was a great present for a friend of mine, who was looking for an update to her Rider-Waite deck.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Soothing, Beautiful and Airy Tarot 14 Jan 2010
By Hannah
Amazon Verified Purchase
From the box...

"Fenestra Tarot opens the windows of personal insight through the beauty of tarot symbolism. With soothing tones and striking art Deco motifs, Thai artist Chatriya has creatively infused traditional tarot elements with a myriad of artistic and multicultural influences. Framed by gentle arches, the charming characters and setting of the Fenestra tarot help readers find answers to life question."

I agree with the box! The Fenestra Tarot is beautiful, clear and soothing. With deep pastel hues, soft and flowing artwork and striking people and scenery, the symbolism is full and adheres to the Rider-Waite system. I do feel that some symbols have been omitted to make way for the artistic style but this gives the deck familiarity and yet an open and airy feeling. This is good if you are looking for a deck that allows for more insight. A good deck for a beginner, but not as obvious as the Rider-Waite.

The LWB gives keywords for each card. The cards are standard sized thin and fairly glossy and come in their own box, which inserts into the middle of a slip case, and comes with a Celtic Cross Reading sheet in Fenestra style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fenestra Tarot: My Main Deck 11 Jan 2007
By Kenneth Nobbe - Published on Amazon.com
The Fenestra Tarot has replaced the Universal Waite as my main deck. Actually, since I received the Fenestra, I haven't used anything else. The artist, Chatriya Hemharnvibul, has imbued the cards with a depth and beauty who's equal I have never seen. The images and coloring are so evocative, the meanings seem to come to life. This deck is truly a pleasure and an inspiration to work with.

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid, beautiful deck 6 Feb 2007
By L. Edwards - Published on Amazon.com
This is a deck that, in structure, follows full force the Waite set up. Card for card, it is perfectly identical and requires very little rethinking of already learned habits to read. Not particularly innovative but still a good, solid deck with lovely art. As a divinatory deck, it fulfills all expectations of a Waite deck.

The stock is a bit thinner than I generally care for in my cards, but the gloss used on them also serves to strengthen the card. Long term wear and tear may be an issue but if properly cared for they will be perfectly fine for years to come.

Now on to the deck's highlight: its art. The artist has combined three different styles to a very enjoyable effect: Egyptian, Asian and a touch of western European. The Egyptian is plainly seen in the symbology and the coloration of the cards- she uses sandwashed colors to give the feel of them having been painted upon stone. The facial style, though possessing the eyes known to anyone who has even passingly encountered Egyptian art, is very much that of the ancient style of many Asian countries: long and narrow, which takes very well to the kohl layering done around them. The western European is blended in to lend a definition of form oft lost to both Egyptian and Asian style arts- resulting in an odd hybrid of features that fit the feel of the deck perfectly.

My only objection are points at which she plainly wasn't sure of what to draw for a card's meaning...the most outstanding example of which is the VIII of Wands. All that appears upon the card is a pip count- a rather disappointing card after the lush beauty of the other cards.

The backs of the cards are absolutely beautiful as well- and would be fully reversable if not for US Games having stamped their logo in one corner. That's no fault of the artist however, so I do not count it as a negative in her or the deck's case.

If you are looking for a solid Waite deck with lovely art, traditional symbolism and a welcoming feel: this deck is for you. It may not be quite as deep as other decks in the symbolism- it's simply cut and dried but beautifully rendered adaptions of the standard Waite deck with an Egyptian theme- but it's lovely naetheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely deck Rider Waite! 17 Jan 2007
By Practice Everyday - Published on Amazon.com
This deck is absolutely beautiful, any scans at the review sites simply do not do it justice. Each person has a bit of an anime/manga feel without being "cartoony" or feeling limited and the windows help you to focus on what is going on in the card. This is definetly the best border I have ever seen and the colors are very easy on the eyes and the mind. It is also easy to read with being based on the Rider Waite. However, there are a few cards in particular that are a little different and they make the deck really shine. The devil has a smirk that just invites you in, who else could look that smug? There are no ships in the 3 of wands, like the person is looking just over the horizon. I find that this helped finally seal the card's meaning in my memory as I often get it mixed up with the 2 of wands in other decks because they have similar pictures. The 9 of pentacles shows a modern woman in jewelry and pants, a strong independent woman and this is my favorite 9 of pentacles out of the dozen decks that I have owned over the years. The 4 of pentacles is doing more than just holding his money, he seems to be hiding behind it. Don't even get me started on the Death card! All of her images, while traditional, bring something new to the meanings of the cards. One question though, one reviewer said that her Priestess card was smudged. Mine is fine but The Fool is out of focus. I am not sure whether or not that is intentional as it would make sense as the fool is just starting out on his journey, his life is a little unfocused. Still, I give it 5 stars! It is a beautiful deck and perfect if you want to be able to read with the Rider Waite meanings but look at much more interesting visuals.
