1.0 out of 5 stars Really disappointed 26 Dec 2010
By Tasneem
Format:Cards
I was really disappointed with these cards. They are so immature and shallow. I know they are meant for teenagers, but that doesn't mean that they cannot have a more realistic and sensible way of approaching the tarot. This deck has been for me at least a waste of money. The pictures are pretty to look at, but for a really beneficial tarot reading they have proved useless. I am young at heart though not a teenager, but I don't think that has really made much of a difference. These are not cards for someone who wants to give a detailed reading for a teen. I am sorry that I bought them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great if you don't mind using correction fluid! 10 May 2008
By Ms. L. E. Spurr
Format:Paperback
Well i love these cards which is strange since i'm not a Wiccan or a teen, but a Heathen Traditional Witch (with a fluffy alter-ego!) As soon as i recieved this deck and looked through it I took the liberty of swapping around the suit of flames and broomsticks, since i felt the flames echoed the suit of swords better and the broomsticks suited wands. I also swapped around the numbering of some of the cards in the minor arcana suits by carefully blotting the number out with correction fluid and then writing in the number i felt suited the imagery better - there are a few cards in each suit which are obvious candidates for this and any seasoned Tarot user will be able to spot them! Some of the imagery is still only very loosely linked to the regular meaning but it's a lot better than it was!

The major arcana is wonderful i reckon with some fantastic symbolism - i agree with the previous reviewer about the Death card, which i thought was one of the best in the deck. The only card which i felt was a bit off-base was the Sun card, which shows an irate young woman trying to shift a stubborn mule with a blazing sun shining from behind. In the end i decided to just "go with it" and in the spirit of the card itself, assigned a meaning of "Don't sweat over the things you cannot change - lighten up and work with rather than against Nature!"

I now have a very usable Tarot deck which i like very much, even if some of the images are a bit cheesey - there's enough good and meaningful symbolism here to make up for any of that though and i quite like their quirkyness anyway! I have used these a lot since i did the swapping around (some would say defacing!) and have found that they give very good readings. This deck is now one of my favourites and one i'll likely use for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Niche cards, certainly... 8 Jan 2005
By matthew_panton
Format:Paperback
These cards bother me, oddly enough not for the obvious reason. I should say first off that I have no patience at all with the 'teen witch' phenomona. Those of us with an ounce of magical scholarship are like to become quite irate over the subject. Strangely though, these cards do not make me irate though. They were given to me as a gift, because they were the very last deck I would ever buy myself.
This is the truth. I am not 14, femail or a beleiver in magic, ergo, they are not aimed at me. I use them very rarely, but some days, when I am in the mood, this is the only deck I will consider. Strange, no.

They have done away with tradition entirely. The four suits are now couldrons, boulders, broomsticks (god help us) and flames. Whilst the court cards are now celebrations, moons, godesses and trials. So far so iffy. The images are almost all of young lithe girls in crop-tops, bikinis or slit skirts, all with pointed hats. The symbolism is conspicuous by it's absence and most of the scenes depicted are at best nebulously conected with the card's normal meaning. On the ace of couldrons, there is a witch feeding a giant frog on spaghetti (I swear I am not making this up) whilst the sun card shows another witch kissing the, erm, 'other end' of a donkey. No I don't know what the artist was smoking either, and if you think that I have only mentioned the weirdest ones you are wrong, they are all like this.

That said, a few cards are well done. Death is an old crone with a neclace of foxgloves, on her back is a bascket of sweets, with a few bones sticking out. Judgement shows a crow looking on as a couple of irresponcible witches steal her eggs.

In conclusion, I don't know. Most people would hate it. I probably would if I did not own it. On the other hand, if you think you can forgive it its eccentrisities, and have a, er, 'real' deck to use most of the time, then take a chance, but don't say I did not warn you.

Ps, if any one knows what is symbolised by a witch with a mobile phone in her pocket, using a tree stump to brain a pair of feral cats, please get in touch...
