Hey! I just got the Elemental Tarot, by Caroline Smith and John Astrop. I haven't seen any other threads on it. Is anyone else familiar with this deck? What do you think of it?

Hi DarkElectric, I got it in a trade for the Kossatz Elemental deck but I still have had no time to work with it.

I really like the art on the Elemental, as well as the same author's Moon Oracle deck. However, I don't at all understand the astrological correspondences, and I don't like all the words and symbols on the card borders. I also don't like the book -- the card meanings are so short and mysterious, they read like Zen koans. I haven't had much reading with the deck. -- Lee

I admit, it's a strange deck. I like the bright colours, but I don't get all of the correspondences either. I also think they could have left the poem off of the deck, to it's betterment. All in all, I like it, but don't exactly know how I will be able to use it.
