Book Reviews of Golden Tarot Deck

Book Review: From an Advanced Perspective
Summary: 5 Stars

** Measurements **

The measurement information above in the listing refers to the box and not the CARDS. The cards themselves are 4.84 inches x 2.91 inches. It does not state that in the description.

So....

Box = 5.3 x 3.4 inches
Cards = 4.8 x 2.9 inches

Some of the (rare) but less than flattering reviews on these cards seem to focus on 3 things:

1) Cards are difficult to shuffle
2) Not complex enough and better for beginners
3) Muted colors

#1. Most decks are difficult to shuffle when you first get them. These cards are NOT difficult to shuffle after the warmth of your hands makes them more pliable over time. If you work with the cards at least an hour every day for a couple weeks, they will limber up. I had no difficulty shuffling from the get-go and I have fairly petite hands.

#2 For Beginners? NO, and yes. I've been reading with 2 primary decks for 32 years. Voyager and RWD. So, I wouldn't call myself a beginner. After you take the time to review these cards, spend some one-on-one time with each individually, you'll find the deeper symbolism that the eye does not at first catch. <-- that would be my advice if you are a beginner. One of the essential beauties of Tarot, is that YOUR eye finds the hidden meaning. Look for it. Don't just surface glance. The subtle, meaningful background images are very much there in this deck.

#3 Muted colors. I have to completely disagree with that. If you want to look at the cards in depth, you'll see the colors are vibrant and also subtle, BOTH. I've literally held my cards up to the screen at the site below and the colors are comparable.

I've also added a photo above in the "Share your own images" section, to illustrate that the cards are NOT muted in color. Hopefully the image will appear by the time this review is posted.
