Tarot of the Hidden Realm

It is hard to describe exactly how much I love this deck! The cards are actually sort of like a family to me. Lovely images, each one with a special message, nothing too dark or over the top, as I have found in other decks. I like to collect Tarot cards for both readings and artwork. This deck offers a rich visual experience and intuitive messages. Regarding the book by Barbara Moore, it is beautifully written, giving a brief story and background of each card, with just enough information so that you can make a personal interpretation. When compared to the RW system, I would say this deck offers new insights, ideas you may not have thought of before, while still keeping the essence of traditional meanings.Some names have been changed, and there are reasons for this which are explained in the book. For example, The Devil is Shadowdancer, the Tower is The Blasted Beech, and Judgement is Life Renewed. (As you may guess, these new names and interpretations offer a more optimistic world view.) It is just wonderful to explore the layers of these cards! Regarding the artwork, it is quite beautiful, realistic but quasi surreal. The portraits really pull you into this Hidden Realm. Some of them are nontraditional. All are lovely and interesting. The overall feel of the images is Pagan/Celtic, so if you are a fan of these pantheons, you will love this deck! The Heirophant and the Emperor are a bit more 'wizardy' than the traditional decks, and I loved that. Many nature images are used, and some cards are animals. The suit of swords, which is usually quite severe, is here offered in softer and less intimidating imagery. I liked all the cards for different reasons, although I do have my favorites, and you will too! It is a wonderful deck for meditation and the book offers several ways to do this if you are not familiar with Tarot meditations. These are written as an exploration in shamanic journeys, a great bonus. I would recommend this deck for any serious student of Tarot, and also for anyone who loves the Fae realm, or just loves great artwork :) Suberb deck!

Like the book and card images. The cards are a nice size. Card stock not impressed with.

I've read some reviews complaining that this deck doesn't go by the rider waite tarot or "traditional" tarot. However, if you're a lover of the faerie realm then this deck would be for you. The traditional tarot card speaks to humans from a human perspective and these cards speak to humans from the faerie perspective. I've wanted this deck for a long time and I finally got it after so many years, and I have to say it's my favorite, because I'm so connected to the Elemental Kingdom. This can add additional enlightenment to your messages that are given from the traditional tarot meanings. A win, win! And by the way I feel that the ladies who created this, are completely and absolutely connected to the faerie kingdom too! The messages and art are stunning.

I love these cards, they're very open and very helpful. I'm good with reading Oracle decks but I have a hard time with different tarot decks (the only deck I've felt connected to besides this one is the Connelly tarot). I've read books saying "learn only from the rider waite Smith deck" but that deck feels so cold and impassive, almost clinical in a way. I couldn't connect with it. Then I saw this deck on Amazon and the artwork pulled me in, all the reviews stated it's different than the RWS deck, and all the images I found showed something I have never seen on a rider waite Smith deck, emotion and understanding. The cards have a balance of darkness and light, each card is different and has its own unique feel and personality, and the deck is very intuitive. When I look at each card I gain different messages that are all very accurate. I used the deck with myself, my mother, and two friends and they were spot on. When I use the cards I feel I'm inside the card speaking to the characters and seeing their environment. Using the cards brings an amazing experience and the guidebook is like reading several small stories that pull you in and have you wanting to know more. It's an extremely good deck. If you have a harder time with it there's a good book out called a magical course in tarot by Michele Morgan. It helps you to tap into your intuition, see the cards in a different light, and encourages you to trust yourself and inner wisdom more than the booklet. The only issue I had with the cards is the Fool card had a small cut on the bottom and I thought about returning it. That was the first communication I had with the cards and I got from the card we all start our journey as a broken person but our journey will bring wonders, healing, and high hopes, honor all the flaws and turn them into strengths. I feel like this deck could be my best friend.

Sono sbalordita dalla bellezza di questi tarocchi! Confezione robusta, libro in inglese ben fatto e molto dettagliato, immagini fiabesche e suggestive! Da acquistare assolutamente 😍😍❤️💯💯

Ce tarot est celui que j'ai toujours attendu sans le savoir. Je le trouve d'une beauté sans égal ! Chaque illustration parle directement au cœur. J'ai l'impression de l'avoir toujours connu ! Il ne suit pas le Rider-Waite Smith, ce n'est pas une simple copie d'un jeu maintes fois redessiné sans aucune imagination. Ici, c'est une vision nouvelle et beaucoup plus connectée aux petits peuples qui nous est proposée. Chaque carte est brillamment conçue, les talents de cette illustratrice sont à couper le souffle, et les textes de Barbara Moore sont une grande source d'inspiration ! La qualité des cartes est à la fois souple et solide. Ayant d'autres jeux de cette Éditions, je savais à quoi m'attendre, et je ne suis pas du tout déçu. Personnellement, je n'ai aucun jeu de cette maison d'édition qui s'est abîmé plus qu'un autre, bien au contraire. La finesse d'une carte ne constitue en aucun cas sa résistance, ça n'a tout simplement rien à voir ! Et pour le coup, je ne les trouve pas particulièrement fines. Je n'ai rien de négatif à dire sur ce tarot ! Si vous avez l'habitude de vous connecter aux petits peuples et si vous avez l'habitude de méditer et d'écouter votre voix intérieure, vous serez conquis ! Plus qu'aucun autre tarot à ce jour, je trouve que celui-ci est vivant !

o tarot mais lindo que tenho na minha coleção, as cartas tem uma energia surreal!!! maravilhoso demais, estou extasiada com a beleza dele 🪶🤎

Wer hier ein niedlich-kitschiges Elfen/Feen-Deck erwartet, wie sie zur Zeit den Markt überschwämmen, der wird eines Besseren belehrt. Die hier dargestellten Wesen sind anmutig und schön, aber es sind bodenständige, erdige und natürliche Schönheiten. Süße Feelein mit dem "alles ist gut" -Sonnenscheingesicht wird man hier nicht finden, stattdessen ausdrucksstarke, ehrliche und natürliche Gesichter. Das ist es, was mir an diesem Deck so gut gefällt, die Natürlichkeit, die sich deutlich von den künstlichen Seifenblasen-Glitzer-Feengestalten anderer "Faery"-Decks abhebt. Insgesamt wirken diese Wesen anmutig, in sich ruhend. Besonders fasziniert war ich von der Karte 10 Schwerter, da sie die 10-Schwerter-Energie des klassischen Tarot auf eine sehr ausdrucksstarke Weise darstellt. Man kann die geballte Energie förmlich spüren, die ein radikales, meist auch schmerzvolles Ende setzt. Viele andere Karten liefern aus meiner Sicht sinnvolle zusätzliche Aspekte zur "klassichen" Bedeutung, der jeweiligen Karte. Die Bilder dieser Karten sind einfach genial und sehr tiefgründig. Die Künstlerin hat mit diesem Deck eine unglaublich tolle Arbeit geleistet. Wie eine Rezensentin vor mir schrieb, ging es mir jedoch ähnlich wie ihr, als ich die Karten "Magier" und "Hohepriesterin" sah. Die entsprachen nicht so sehr meinen Vorstellungen, denn ich hätte ein wenig mehr vom typischen Magier bzw. von der Hohepriesterin erhofft. An die beiden musste ich mich also (auch) erst einmal gewöhnen, doch wenn man mit dem Deck vertrauter wird, dann fällt es nicht mehr auf, denn im Grunde passen beide Karten hervorragend zum Rest der Karten. Die Energien dieses Decks sind teils hell, teils erfrischend, aber eben auch teils dunkel, mystisch; sie sind "ehrlich" und beschönigen nichts. Man sollte im Tarot jedoch sattelfest sein, um mit den Karten zu arbeiten, denn sie sind ganz sicher nichts für Anfänger. Ich empfehle jedem, hier zusätzlich seine Intuition einfließen zu lassen und auf jeden Fall einen Blick in das beigefügte Buch zu werfen, um ggf. zusätzliche Aspekte zu den einzelnen Karten zu gewinnen. Klar ist, die Karten haben ihre eigene Sprache. Für mich und meine Tarot-Sammlung sind sie eine echte Bereicherung.

En mi opinión es un mazo exquisito, un arte maravilloso , el libro es bastante bueno y en general la conexión con este mazo ha sido perfecta del el minuto uno .
