5.0 out of 5 stars wildly original, beautiful deck, 13 Nov 2002

By	Elen Hawke "author of In the Circle, The Sacr... (Oxford UK) - See all my reviews

I'm not usually a great devotee of black and white decks, finding the lack of colour dulls intuition and inspiration, but this deck is an exception. The cards truly are not only stunningly beautiful but very, very easy to read, as well as being one of the most wildly original sets it has ever been my privilege to work with. The cards consist of images collaged together from original Victorian illustrations, very cleverly reworked. Pens have replaced wands, Victorian kilner type jars are cups, guns are swords and watches are coins, giving a further flavour of the Victorian era. I find the cards extremely easy to work with- they seem to speak to the reader despite the unusualness of the images. Particularly powerful is the Eight of Wands, which seems to leap out of the edges of the card, giving an impression of unstoppable movement. Famous people of the time decorate the court cards - I love Oscar Wilde as the Prince of Wands, and Queen Victoria as the Queen in all four suits (how could anyone else compete with the ruler of the then known world?!). The accompanying book cleverly explains the way the cards have been designed to reflect the ethos of the time, when technology and industry were drastically changing the way people viewed the world and lived their lives. I particularly love the irony of using pocket watches to demonstrate the slow, steady quality of earth/pentacles. The deck is opulent and gorgeous, and beautifully presented with its black velvet storage pouch with tasselled blue drawstring cord. I love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars simply beautiful, 5 April 2002

By	aquagummybug@yahoo.com (sweden) - See all my reviews

perhaps the most important thing in tarot is to feel a connection to the cards, to speak the same language, and this is a deck that drew me in immediately. i'd been looking for a new deck but found myself in a swamp of rider waite variations, until these lovely 1900th century engaving-based cards caught my eye. it was love at first sight. :) the cards and the bag (purplish/bluish/velvety) are beautiful, the book very informative. one of the most artistic and original decks around, i highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brill Brill Brill Brill Brill, 20 April 2002

By A Customer

That sums it up. Absolutely beautiful black and white cards depicting scenes from the Victorian Era. Easy to read. Lovely and interesting book. Beautiful velvet pouch. I fell in love with this innovative deck at first sight. I didn't think I would but I did...I could go on for ever but the bottom line is these cards are lovely, honest, sometimes humorous, and I think they are great.
