I am curious about this deck: are the images expressive and accurate? Do they correspond with traditional interpretations? Is the text helpful? What are the down-sides to the deck?
The artwork--from what I've seen--looks beautiful and very colorful, but I'm not sure it would be a good deck to use on a regular basis.

Hi FaerieStorm,
I have the Inner Child tarot deck. The cards are very large and I have small hands. This makes shuffling them very difficult. Also, the cards have a tendency to get sticky if they sit very long without use. You may want to get some card dusting power that is sold at most magic shops. It helps the cards stop sticking together. The biggest problem I have with this deck is that the colors are way too bright. To me it feels like the cards are shouting at me all the time. The colors are so intense, I offen get a headache after about ten minutes of looking at these cards. If you aren't sensitive to this, you probably won't be bothered by it. It has been a few months since I last looked at this deck so I don't remember if there are any variations from traditional meanings. I think there is a great deal that we can learn from these childhood stories! However, I personally prefer the Whimsical Tarot because it uses pastels instead of the bright colors.
