Does anyone own this deck?..if so, could you tell me what your readings have been like with it.
I have ordered this from Amazon

I find it very useful. It has a flavor all its own. I use it when I feel a change is in order. I have found the art work refreshing. The multiracial and multicultural makes it easy to use. I use it on a regular basis.--Tao

Hi Martyn,

I don't have it myself, it's one of those decks that I often think I should get though. The artwork is gorgeous and it has a very pagan feel.

I did a search for you and found some old discussions about this deck:

I find the artwork beautiful and full of feeling.
It is a very untraditional deck, I use the images to guide me and don't think of traditional tarot meanings because they would not help me much.
The deck comes with its own book, but I don't use that because I don't like the style of it.

I had this deck, traded it away, and now the same deck is being traded back to me now, lol.

I found that I did in fact really miss the deck once it went away.
Love the artwork...am looking forward to our reunion.

I've had this deck for a few months now, and I love the artwork (as others have mentioned)--it's full of faeries, sprites, nature spirits, and animals. The book is not terribly useful, however it can be somewhat of a help when trying to hone in on the meanings of certain cards--many of which are not at all traditional! It's truly a tragedy: the artwork and iconic themes are amazing, but the interpretations are too often way off base. As WolfSpirit has mentioned, it's much more of an oracle deck than a Tarot deck.

Blessed Be!

I do have the deck too, and, even if I do not read with it a lot, I like it (the reason why I do not read with it a lot is that I have too many decks demanding my attention :laugh: )

You will see that it has its language of its own though, and I could personally not at all relate to the book, so I let myself be inspired by the artwork.

Enjoy the deck, it is a special source of inspiration!

Love
Simone

I have just started reading with this deck I really like it :)
haven't done enough with it to give you much apart from my initial reaction 


Alta  07 Jun 2005 
I had it and traded it away. The book I actually found offensive and the cards not that useful. Just one person's reaction of course.

It's a beautiful deck but...

didn't care for the book.
I don't read with it.

Love the artwork on this deck. It has been on my wishlist for a while but I haven't heard very god things about the book.
