The Fountain Tarot: Illustrated Deck and Guidebook

Amazing artwork, the feel is the perfect mix of eclectic modern art which stays true to the traditional Rider-Waite, yet adds layers of meaning by imagery. It is one of those things you'll be glad you went ahead and got because it is one of a kind and the messages flow much more fluid.. Cardstock is pretty robust with silver gilding which has stayed - it's been three months now. The booklet of card meanings has been thought about too, to really contribute and not just be for the sake of being.

The cards printing is too light. You can't get clarity of messages. The box came broken from side.

🙂👍

Superb

this fountain deck is like a magazine

TBH if you are buying this from India, It's expensive but also they're absolutely amazing! One of the finest modern tarot decks out there! The artworks are beautiful and the if pastel is your thing you will love these. They come in beautiful holographic magnetic box great for storage and Also, it comes with a extra card "the fountain" in major arcana which is a card that really spoke to me! You can also check it out on their official website and some reviews on YouTube that will help you make a good decision.

These cards are absolutely stunning. The box is beautiful and embellished and the cards themselves are fascinating. There is the added Fountain Card which makes them unique and a great addition to other traditional decks but follow the older numbering of the decks with Strength being 11 and Justice being 8! The major cards are titled at the top of the card and the minor cards are at the bottom because the art work is so unique and beautiful,more like oracle cards that for each card that it helps to tell your card straight away. The guide book is well written with clear and concise ideas for daily practise as well as spreads. If you are wary of the more traditional cards this would be a beautiful start however, or if you are experienced in Tarot these are a great addition. I often ask people to choose from my decks for their readings so this gives a softer look than Rider Waite etc. I adore these cards. They resonate beautifully with me and am so honoured to own this deck.

In love with this deck. I’ve always used traditional rider-Waite deck, but there is something about this deck that transmits another layer of depth that feels more apt for the period we are in. Rider-Waite is my main deck and the original which I honour, but I find this deck has deepened my relationship with tarot and uncovered more archetypal meaning that I didn’t see in rider-Waite. I find myself transitioning to this deck as my main deck and something that can support, heighten and make the rider-Waite more accessible for me.

Absolutely LOVE this deck. Only got it a couple of days ago and already feel it’s going to be one of my favourites. The artwork is lovely - softly abstract imagery with powerful energy. It’s very different from traditional Rider Waite and would be ideal for more experienced readers looking for a deck that encourages use of intuition.The magnetic box is good quality (slight fading/marking of print but somehow fits the style.) The card quality is fine - not very thick but not flimsy - easy to shuffle. Standard playing card size. I’ve had no problem with silver coming off sides. The instruction book gives interesting interpretations and various spreads.All in all, a unique deck that I will happily use for Tarot Coaching clients as well as Card Readings.

Even the box is beautiful embossed and filled with attention to detail. The deck and book are held together with a light magnetic snap case with a ribbon inside so you never have to paw at the cards.The cards themselves are gilded on their edges, the art is sublime (I would suggest googling the deck first, they have some nice making of videos too) this page doesn't do them justice.Some have said that the guide isn't very fleshed out, but as someone who wants to use it for mentally "spitballing" rather than definite occultish interpretation its perfect and open. There are many guides to tarot reading out there, take your pick, but this book is a slim volume (reminds me of the little game manuals you'd get with 90s video games). I feel that the actual cards themselves say more than the book, they capture so many facets of meaning.They're big, but not enough so that shuffling is a problem. Mine came ever so slightly curved due to the shrink wrap but I put a heavy object on them for a day and they're straight as an arrow.Two caveats: You WILL get sparkly fingers, no escaping that. Its a sparkly trimmed deck. There is also a very faint copyright on the cards. Its unobtrusive enough to call it a watermark, but its there. I know a lot of people hate that, but I understand why they must have them as every single card is a work of art in and of itself. Thankfully subtle and you'll only notice if you're bent on looking for it.

The cards arrived well and safely packaged. The box where the cards are, is very nice and sturdy. Very nice to the touch and to look at. The cards are easy to take out due to a ribbon inside the box, which you lift to lift the cards out.The cards themselves are considerable smaller than the ones I already own (Spolia tarot), so they are comfortable to hold in your hand. Some cards do stick together, but they are easy to separate. The quality of the print and the cards themselves is really good. I was very sceptical about buying tarot cards from amazon, but they didn't disappoint. The silver sides on the cards leave some glitters on your hands for the few first times when you shuffle them, but nothing more. The cards are comfortable to use.The guide which goes with the tarot cards is very good. It is clear and concise and has keywords for both upright position of a card and the reverse. Nice touch.
