Pre-Raphaelite Tarot Review: Beautiful Deck - I am so happy that I found and ordered this deck! The artwork is gorgeous. The card size is perfect. The cardstock is a good weight: easy to shuffle and durable. I've had these for a couple of months and use them often. I have several decks but these have become my "go to" cards for clarification. I find that the scenes on the cards are very easy to connect to intuitively. Some reviewers mentioned feeling uncomfortable with the female nudity depicted on the cards. While there are some cards that show the human body, it doesn't feel gratuitous so much as an artful means of further communicating the meaning of the card. Again, the artwork is beautiful. My only wish regarding this deck is that it had come with a sturdier box. I know that it would have cost a bit more but I would have happily paid more to have received a thick, lift off top, type of box rather than the standard playing card type they arrived in. This box is already beginning to show signs of breaking down despite being gentle with it. My solution is to fully wrap the box with clear Gorilla tape in an effort to make it last. Review: Vibrant, beautiful cards - This is a very pretty deck. The colors are beautiful, and the minimal writing and borderless design make for a sleek look. The style of the artwork is consistent and very pleasant to the eye, and as you look through the deck you will definitely spot references to other artworks. On a quick perusal I spotted Ophelia, Lady Godiva, and the Lady of Shalott, along with some others I couldn't name off the top of my head. (Which reminds me, if I were to single out any one card as being "out of place" in the deck, it may be Ophelia as the Death card, since it bears the least resemblance to the Smith/Rider/Waite style.) As far as the physical qualities, this is on par with many other Lo Scarebo decks, the cardstock is not thick but feels fine to me. Surface is slightly glossy, size isn't huge but is big enough, and packaging is a simple paper box. I cannot comment on how someone might like to read these cards, as I don't read cards. I just collect them for fun. Photographs include: - 6 of Swords (Lady of Shalott), 6 of Wands (Lady Godiva), Death (Ophelia) - Queen of Cups compared to a credit-card-sized card (yay for junk mail) - Spread of a random selection - Box, card backs, and LWB

My favorite deck
I've used these cards for over a year now and they still look lovely. No bending, or fading, or any signs of wear. This is my go-to deck while remaining very true to RWS, the gorgeous images allow layers of depth to be mined. I find new things in them all the time. They read beautifully and I always find myself reaching for this deck, over and over.

Ordered June 19 and not shipped until July 2! Weird!
The deck is great. The paper is a bit thin but fine. I am not hard on cards so will be OK for me. I love the Pre-Raphaelites so was excited to see this deck! One person commented the images are not up to their art talents. I agree but close enough for cards for my taste. They shuffle easily. I was getting bored after using the Rider-Waite for 20 plus years and wanted a deck similar but with more inspiring images. I can use RW deck for clarifiers. I even wrote to this seller asking why I ordered it on June 19 and was to receive it July 6-15. I am a seller and I have to mail my items within 3 days, or I am dinged by Amazon, so this seemed odd to me. They didn't really have an answer. The deck was brand new and good packaging. I just thought it was an awfully long time to wait! Other than that, I am happy with the product.

It’s gorgeous
The colors are really stunning, jewel tones that really pop. And the art is just lovely, made even better because there is no borders. Good card stock and shuffles really well...I love everything about this deck. Definitely one I will use often.

Lindo tarot, segue as ilustrações RW, só que os arcanos maiores não vem o nome, só o número de cada arcano. Nos arcanos menores é a mesma situação, para quem já tem domínio vai saber identificar, ele é ótimo para melhorar a intuição. Mas não recomendo para iniciantes, ele é perfeito para colecionador. Qualidade das cartas: Lo scarabeo são ótimas, confesso que para o tamanho das minhas mãos (mãos pequenas) eu prefiro a Lo Scarabeo. Eu peguei ele com valor promocional, fiquem atentos ao valor. Mas a ressalva que eu gostaria de adicionar é a seguinte: a caixinha estava com algumas avarias, conforme demonstrado na foto, mas chegou dentro do prazo e bem embalado. Estou satisfeita com a minha compra.

Punkteabzug nur deshalb, weil die Karten sich etwas zu sehr biegen lassen... für die Standardgröße. Mischen sich gut. Die Karten haben allerdings einen guten Druck... sehr fein gepixelt, wodurch man Pinselstriche erkennen kann und die ganzen Feinheiten der Verzierungen zur Geltung kommen. Schade allerdings, dass es etwas dunkel gehalten ist, denn ich mag blau, gelb und grün in Kombination.

ロセッティが好きで、主に観賞用として購入しました。 箱がキャラメルケースで、しっかりとしたハードケースが欲しいところです。 色合いは、個人的には原画に近い方が良かったです。 濃すぎな感じがしますが、原画と比べたりしながら楽しんでいます!
