Circle of Life Tarot Deck

I like the art work on this deck, but, I’ve heard the yellow and white first edition that’s still available on Amazon UK, while busier with multiple languages on the front and no mandalas on the back, have crisper images.I ordered 3 decks when I bought this, and they were all Lo Scarabeo (unintentional). The images are nice but the card stock was/is light to moderate thickness (no biggie) and arrived chipped, some were warped and already splitting on some cards (SEE PHOTOS OF THE SIDE VIEW OF THE CARDS FOR CHIPS DENTS and WARPING 😱); These were factory sealed. One of the other decks in my order also had this problem.Now to the art in the deck: I don’t mind if the images don’t exactly match the RWS system when it’s an RWS clone, but I do believe that having a deck that is just about art and doesn’t represent nor understand the symbolism at all (like the beautiful yet somewhat symbolically empty Ostara Tarot) is pointless.This deck falls somewhere in the middle of that spectrum; it has RWS imagery, but not everywhere, and some cards fall well short of representing what that card means, though this happens in a lot of the contemporary decks.My numerological birth card is The Empress, as well as the Lovers and High Priestess representing my birth day and month individuallly. I like all of the majors to have strong visual imagery for their respective card, so I was disappointed when I saw the weak Empress card.She’s supppsed to be the mother archetype~ Bountiful, fertile,representing Venus and love-Earth mother and the symbol of nature incarnate,strength, creativity...a representation of *female* strength. This card shows a cowering girl in a barren cave looking at a mirror... huh?As an artist I get that we have our own views and take artistic license with our interpretations, but a lot of decks on the market look like people either1.)didn’t want to take the time to represent the card and it’s key symbology.2.)didn’t understand the symbology and it’s impprtance well enough to be making a tarot deck3.) The creator doesn’t care or believe or grasp the major importance of symbolism in the tarot system (either Thoth or RWS).This gripe is more for some decks than others. I don’t consider myself a tarot purist, however, I don’t see the point of making a deck that lacks the major recognizable imagery (like the Ostara Tarot, *beautiful*, but not a symbolically rich tarot deck), otherwise I could just read using a deck of playing cards.This deck does have decent imagery in many of its cards, but the Empress, The Queen of Cups, the High Priestess, and a few others in the majors and minors just don’t represent those cards symbolism visually.That’s not a deal breaker, but I thought I’d put it out there since I’m seeing this happen more and more now.The card stock is okay/not great, it chips and peels at the edges, just keep and eye out for that.I contacted Amazon by phone and they sent out a replacement.I do think this deck is worth having, it will be interesting to see how it reads.I don’t know if I’ll keep it forever, but it’s a cool deck and I love the novelty of it being round.

I was so excited to open this deck. The cards are beautiful, I love the packaging. My only issue is the guide book is super small, and in three or four different languages (that is super cool and I’ve never seen that before). I was really hoping for more descriptions on the cards, their meanings and the meanings of the art work symbolism (the cards are just gorgeous). Wish the cards were slightly smaller only because it is very hard to shuffle big round cards. Wish you could purchase a larger guide book separately.

I absolutely love this deck in every way! Cardstock and materials are very good quality in my opinion and stand up to thorough shuffling very nicely. The art is phenomenal, and very thoughtful, and the mandala backs are an extremely nice touch for a round deck.If I could change one thing, I would request that the included book be made larger and more thoughtfully written. I like how it fits in the recess in the box, but there is wasted space and the box could accommodate a larger book with very little change to the packaging. Perhaps even a round book would be appropriate without needing a recess in the box at all. It would probably just need a small flat edge for a sturdy binding.Having said that, I love love love this deck!!! To the author and illustrator and any other folks involved, thanks for your hard work! I would recommend this deck to anyone with an interest in tarot.

Too many creatures with horns for my liking (the energy seemed dark). They're great quality cards though. Easy to shuffle. Very colorful and some of the major arcana cards were quite beautiful. Although the guidebook is tiny, it's quite detailed. This deck was just not for me, not the imagery that I personally like to work with. I don't hate them but I don't love them either. 🤷‍♀️

I love round decks, and the art on these is beautiful. a nice thick normal weight card, the only problem i am having is finding a nice tarot bag that will fit them correctly LOL, but I think I have even that handled!

Beautiful tarot deck. This is my first round shaped tarot deck and I love it. I love the bright colors of the cards backs. They are one of my favorite tarot decks to use in my tarot reading videos on my youtube channel : Expressive Tarot

I definitely like this deck. 1st deck I've ever seen that is circular. Very different.The box that they come in is very cute and sturdy enough for storage to keep them from getting damaged.The artwork is cute. Very original.

Beautiful art . These cards shuffle very easily . They are easy to interpret. I use these the most of all my decks .

After a bad start (Tarot was sent opened with missing cards and card in double!, and having to trek 7 miles away to the nearest Morrison's to return, because apparently doddle is the only way Amazon EU does returns- not impressed! ) a new sealed deck was sent which is really good and highly recommended.

Round and gorgeous. Love this deck. Rather strong deck. Very sturdy box. Worth it

Es un producto hermoso, de calidad y muy bien hecho. El autor desarrolla un mundo mágico con los Arcanos. Respeta las leyes de los Arcanos y sigue el patrón tarótico. Sus dibujos son hermosos y muy originales. La textura es hermosa y suave. Muy original el diseño y un gran aporte a mi colección como Tarólogo. El libro es pequeño y muy informativo para principiantes. llegó rápido, soy prime en México.

Nice images. Hard to shuffle. Hard to read since they aren't labelled prominently like the other decks. Guidebook is of no use though one can use any guidebook for tarot. BUT cards that fell out for daily journaling were just the right ones.

Maravilloso material para trabajar con diversos temas y ser creativo con la imágenes. Muy recomendable en varias áreas del desarrollo humano.Hermoso Tarot, no había visto algo igual, imágenes hermosas y su diseño redondo lo hace más atractivo.
