I am contemplating getting this deck. If anyone owns it I would love to hear your comments about it and if you also own the book that goes with the deck. Kind of pricey $46.00 for set. I know alot of people have seen this deck and the author just came out with the book.

I have it and love the artwork, but find I can't read with it. Too busy looking at the pretty pictures! LOL The card stock is not the greatest either - the edges aren't real smooth - they still have some of the pokey things from being punched out from the sheet. I don't think I'd ever get rid of it though as I really do think the artwork is beautiful. The book includes alot about numerology which I find interesting too, but to tell you the truth I haven't really read it yet. I've glanced through and found it very intricate and needing alot of study time and thought. Which I don't have much of either right now. I do plan on going through it in more depth later. But when that'll be is a very good question. LOL

I second the opinion of Faunaboy, I find the cards very pretty, but have never read with them, they seem like they are for a very advanced student and I don't have the time to study them in depth. I would never get rid of them though. If your looking for something very easily readable I would pass, but if you are a collector, then I would definitely add them to your collection,unless of course you Are a very advanced reader now.

Thank you both for posting on the Merryday. I know what you mean Faunabay I have alot of books that I still need to finish on the tarot and other metaphysical subjects but just can't find the time to get to all the neat stuff I buy. I am more of an intermediate tarot reader getting into the advanced soon. Maybe this deck is for me to consider. The book sounds like its very good also. I want to get both from the authors website just to save money but I may just purchase the deck first then get the book later. I can read alot of tarot decks I don't have a problem with not being able to read certain decks don't know why. I may have problems reading certain spreads that come up but I usually can read any deck if I like the pictures. If I hate the pictures then forget it I won't bother reading a deck I don't like. This deck is just so fascinating to look at it will soon be one of my collection. The book is fairly new as I have read on-line the deck was first. Thanks for your replies to this really beautiful deck.
