Tarot in Wonderland

Very happy with this deck :) + High-quality book for meanings and explanations (multi-page for most cards, all in color). + The cards have beautiful and symbolic artwork. + Great effort was put into everything you receive. -Cards are on the thinner side (but I don't mind that much) I've had the cards for around a week, I really enjoy using them. They also speak to me personally the more I use them. I'm going through a weird transition in my life, and a lot of the cards talk about Alice growing up and changing. I think this deck and I will work great together. Sorry that this was a short review. If the illustrator and/or author are reading this, thank you. I knew I needed a Wonderland deck, and I think this one is gorgeous and well put together!

I’ve had this one for several months and though it’s not a daily deck for me, there are times when I reach for it and it just sings. Something in the facial expressions, colors, and configurations gives me these incredibly unique reads. The best way I can describe it is deep without being pretentious, and very balanced in its expressions of the dark and light aspects of tarot, but both find their expressions in subtle and refreshing ways. I’m a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland and even have an Alice tattoo. I don’t think it’s necessary to love the story or characters, but the vibe of Wonderland is very present throughout the deck, so it’s helpful to already feel a resonance with it. The book is thick and beautiful with wonderful writing and illustrations of each card. It comes in a sturdy box. The Llewelyn card stock is not my favorite, but it’s holding up well all the same with rifle shuffling and the cards don’t show fingerprints. I can see using this deck for years for my own readings, and for readings for other people, as well. Also would make an excellent gift.

I was expecting big things from this deck, being both another take on Wonderland, and a Barbara Moore offering, and I'm really pleased that it's delivered on all fronts, and is actually my favourite Alice deck yet. The deck comes in the magnetic closure box that the deck and book kits from Llewellyn have been coming in recently. I love these things -- they're quite sturdy! The only complaint I have about it is that once unwrapped, the cards don't actually fit very snugly into the inset for them. They pop out quite a bit over the top to where the cover doesn't even close very well, even with the book on top of the cards. It's not enough of an issue for me to lower my rating of the deck -- tarot boxes have long been a disappointment and I plan on putting this deck in a bag as soon as I find a good one anyway! But it's an issue worth noting. The art is beautiful, and filled with a lot of great references to the world of Alice. My pictures definitely don't do the deck justice! The cardstock is slightly thicker than some of the recent Llewellyn offerings such as the Everyday Witch Tarot. (Which may be why the cards don't fit so well in the box.) It's still very flexible however, so if you're a riffle shuffler like me, you'll probably love it. The backs are nonreversible, which isn't an issue for me, as I don't read with reversals, and the companion book does not provide reversed meanings. There's probably enough reversed in Wonderland already! The companion book is stunning, both in appearance and content. It's full colour, with full page images of every card, and comes in at over 300 pages. Every card gets three sections in the book: Through the Looking-Glass, which describes the card's imagery and its relationship to the world of Wonderland, Down the Rabbit Hole, which goes more into the meaning of the card, followed by the Keywords section. If you're not deeply familiar with the symbolism of Alice and Wonderland, this companion book will be very helpful when a reference is lost on you! The book is thorough enough that you don't have to already be a resident of Wonderland to grasp the deck -- and the art is mostly straightforward enough that you could make it without the book if you had to, but I wouldn't recommend it if you want to embrace the full nuance of the cards. However, the book isn't just filled with card keywords and descriptions. It opens with great insight to the deck's themes and background, and then goes into a section on how to read cards which is a wonderful overview for the beginner. It also includes a section on spreads, which is probably the highlight of the book. Which is to be expected, if you're familiar with Barbara Moore's spreads -- she's one of the greatest spreadcrafters of our time. I am proclaiming this my favourite Alice deck so far, and pretty high up on the general tarot list as well, for that matter. I'd recommend this to any Alice fan and any tarot fan and especially anyone who sits at the crossroads of both.

I’ve never taken the time to write a review before and I buy on amazon all the time. I recently bought a bunch of tarot orcale decks and i love all of them, but this set takes the cake because of the book. I’m a huge Alice in wonderland fan (Alice is my spirit fairy tale character!) so that was the draw for me and I’d add the disclaimer, this set will mean more to Alice fans I imagine than if not, but wow, the book, the packaging of the beautiful box it comes in, it’s just really special, so thorough, such a gift! Cards are smaller than most and probably not as nice as some of my others, but this set is all about the book and infinite possibilities and knowledge and uplift to be obtained from both together! Love!

I can't rate this deck highly enough. The art is beautiful and easy to interpret, the symbolism speaks to me and allows me to read into the cards so much deeper than even the book reveals. However, the book itself is also VERY detailed and informative, I love that the author includes both parts of the alice in wonderland books as well as the card interpretations. I've loved Alice in Wonderland ever since I was a little kid, so this deck is pretty special to me. The card stock and quality of the box and book are also excellent, they aren't oversized or flimsy, and the book is in full color and in no way scimps out on pages (I'm a stickler for this as I HATE getting a beautiful deck and a sucky, vague book!) This is one of the decks I suggest to beginners of tarot often for all the reasons I've listed above. Fabulous work!

Este tarot es absolutamente hermoso en todo. La calidad de la baraja es excelente, las imágenes, el grosor, todo. El libro a color y la calidad del papel wow! Además de eso la autora da una breve descripción de cómo leer el tarot y tips ideal para principiantes. Está basado en el raider y puede que algunas carta parezcan no tener nada que ver con el arcano que representan, pero al leer el significado de la carta explica la metáfora de Alice in Wonderland. Este tarot es excelente para lecturas terapeúticas. El precio es un regalo en comparación con la calidad.

I love these! High quality cards....the illustrations are stunning..using Wonderland and looking glass imagery but retaining many symbols and imagery from more traditional decks. Beautiful presentation box and the book is insightful and very informative... written with a quirky style so you can develop you own style of reading...... "Through the looking glass" explains how each card can relate to the Alice stories and "down the rabbit hole" gives you the traditional meaning of each card. I have a good few decks of tarot this is by far my favourite! A bargain at full price and an absolute steal at half. Can't recommend enough!!!!!!!

Super gedrucktes, laminiertes Deck kommt mit Box und unfangreichem Buch daher: Verweise auf die Grundliteratur, Legemethoden Kartenbedeutungen und nochmla die Motive in 3x so groß.

Great deck love the set well boxed and always good delivery would buy again from this shop Cheers

Sono stupende, poi guardare le ore immagini delle carte, ti portano veramente nel mondo di meravigle. Anche libro molto bello e informativo, sono rimasta proprio felice del mio acquisto!!! Grazie autori e venditori!!!
