Anyone else have this deck? It has so much to offer. I see a lot of Thoth in it and of course there is more (Tree of Life) and other symbolism. I'll beef up on this one for sure..... Anyone else used this deck?

I have just started to use the Tarot of the Sephiroth for my primary study and reading deck. I really like the structure of the deck, and how it visually depicts the relationship of cards to the Sephiroth and paths on the Tree of Life. The artwork and coloring is crisp yet expressive, with a lot of subtle details on the Majors (for example, the tiny horns on the head of the Hermit!). The court cards have personality and energy. The minors are creatively and geometrically arranged symbols/pips as opposed to full illustrations, which I prefer over "scenic" minors. Overall, I really am getting into this deck! It has a modern yet traditional aura to it. I recommend getting the recently published companion book to the deck, "Guide to Tarot of the Sephiroth" (ISBN 1572813253). It has black&white versions of each card, with explanations of the symbology and notes from the creator of the deck. The book is a good value (US $10), in depth (287 pages), and small format so you can carry it with you. Looking forward to more discussions and meditations on this interesting deck...

Yeah I got the book and deck set, so did faunabay I think. I agree it does have amzaing artwork. Finally a deck I can relate to that is not too far detached from what I'm used to.

I got the deck tonight as part of learning more about Qabalah. It is quite amazing, isn't it? Just wanted to let you know that someone else has got it. I can't begin to talk about it yet. My first reading was really postive. Hope to hear others' experiences with this deck eventually. Blessings Moongold
