Does any of you own this deck? if so what do you think of it? (by Marco Nizzoli) I was a bit dissapointed to see that this deck wasn't on the list here at aeclectic as it's my alltime favorite deck (which it by the way took me 8 years to find *phew*). I love the artwork, especially the expressions of the faces in this deck. And I love the fact that I don't need to look it up in a book to find the meaning of the cards (or search my brain for all that old information I once read, since I'm like a goldfish and forget things like that after about 5 seconds or so..) cause they're so easy to interpret, well at least to me they are. I've never even used a regular spread with these cards, I just place 6 cards on the table when I do a reading and know right away which ones are past, present or future. I don't know how, some intuition thing I guess *smiles*. This is the most accurate deck I've come across so I was a bit curious to how others see it. .. Well...ummm... hope someone replies or something... =) *wanders off*

I'm a Secret Tarots fan, too! My only qualm with this deck is that there is an overwhelming grayness to it, despite the fantastical artwork (which never degenerates into total craziness). I am always puzzled by this deck, but it never hides anything. It's an enigma...but I always have a great time reading with it.

i don't have the deck but i look to it regularly at wicce (www.wicce.com), i like it a lot. i think that i will buy it some day, now i don't have the money for it. but i like the style and the atmosphere of it, it's beautifull. by the way i like several decks of lo scarabeo. i'm happy that you opened this topic, it was already for a while i was interested in this one. by the way, nice to meet you here to aeclectic, welcome! with love, rostie.

Nice to hear that someone else likes this deck too!! Thank you for the warm welcome Rostie =) The deck is worth every penny, and I'd highly recommend it any day! The dark colors and the grey are some of the things I like about the deck, there's a fair amount of both bright and dark cards. I love the colors of the deck. There's one thing I'm not that fond of though, and that's the backside of the cards...

I've been considering getting this deck for quite a while now.... Andtoday I'm going into the shop that sells it, so.... *Kiama runs around pulling out her hair at the realisation that she will probably buy yet another deck!* Kiama

hi zind, it's just to say i recently bought this deck and how more i look at it how more i love it. it's really beautifull and gentle. i like the whiteskined women in it (i'm also whiteskined, i'm a redhead,lol) and the sad dark atmosphere of the swords. and like you said it's not necessary to have a booklet to understand the meanings, the pictures are really well done, i love them, it's just wonderfull! thanks for your thread then, a few days later i went to a bookstore and it was just there in front of me, i couldn't resist it, lol but i certainly have no regrets about it, thanks. good luck with it further!

i wanted to buy it last weekend but i didn't have enough money. i actually like the way the colors have been grayed. it's has a sense of reality about it that i haven't seen in other decks. it's different but definitely tarot. i really love the HP card. i intend to buy it asap!
