Eighty Eight Miracles 78 Pieces Black and Gold Foil Tarot Cards – Large Tarot Deck with Detailed Guidebook – Symbolic Meanings of Past, Present, and Future – for Beginners and Experienced Readers

They look amazing! And they are thick so they don't bend easily. Also, Idk if it's my small hands but the cards are pretty big so it's sometimes hard to shuffle, but that's a me problem

I've been reading the Tarot for years. I have owned easily at least 100 decks over the years. One problem I have always had in buying decks is, I might base a purchase on seeing some of the artwork, but inevitably discover one or more cards that I just don't resonate with, just don't like, for whatever reason. That makes it hard for me to work with that deck. I keep buying decks because I do love a lot of the art and I'm always searching for just the right deck, but never finding it! I was so surprised how drawn I was to this deck. It's very simple. The gold ink on black offers a somewhat simplified (but still beautiful) version of the Rider-Waite-Smith imagery. I actually like that it does NOT have some of the details of the RWS deck, because while those details can sometimes open up new ideas, by the same token they can be limiting because they steer the interpretation of the card in a particular way. Having the simplified images allows greater scope for the intuition, I feel. Also, this deck is simply beautiful in its own right. The cards look and feel lush. I love the guide book. It doesn't go on and on with the writer trying to make their stylistic mark. It's designed to READ WITH! Many people say they don't use the guidebooks or "little white books" that come with decks. That's fine but I'm always open to learning so I at least give them a look, and I love how this book interprets the card based on the kind of reading you are doing: general, love, finances/work. Each has its own section, plus a section on reversals if you use them. Very practical and good information. My takeaway is, don't underestimate some of these lesser-known decks. Some of them, like this one, are real treasures. This is a deck I will USE, not just look at!

They're beautiful cards, however, I don't particularly care for the paper. Not to shuffle friendly. I'm a reader who will only take jumpers. It might be that I should cleanse them again deeply. But they are beautiful and I would buy them again to give as a gift.

I have dozens of tarot decks and work with the tarot daily. I'm pretty picky about the art/graphics/symbols, the feel of the cards, and the writings in the booklets. I love this deck so much, because of the beautiful black & gold AND also because it's a great beginner's deck too. Although I'm not a beginner, I love the fresh perspective. The visual symbols are simplified, but very potent, easier to read, and at the same time not dumbed down. I also found the descriptions of each card to be very easy to read and understand - which is very enlightening. I'm enjoying the deck myself tremendously for all the above reasons ---and also so excited that this is my new go-to gift for all my family and friends because it makes working with tarot for the first time very fun, easy to do, and inspiring.

The cards are gorgeous! I adore them and even went goblin mode when I got them open. The sides and backs are so shiny you can practically use them as a mirror if you hold the deck up to you. The front is not super shiny which is great as you don't want to not be able to see the cards if it's particularly bright where you're doing your reading. It surprised me how thick they are; it's not like an inch thick per card but it's definitely thicker than I'm used to. Not only are the cards gorgeous and the energy I get from them amazing, the book is exactly what I've been looking for and ultimately what sold me. it's so hard to find a book that gets straight to the point and you don't have to spend 20 minutes picking out what's important and whats embellishment. It has all categories (general, money, love, career) and it has upright and reverse of each, and the symbolism is it's own category. The only thing that it doesn't have is keywords for every section or even just reverse which is fine. It has the general keywords for upright. Packaging was great and everything was in immaculate shape when received. 10/10 would 💯 recommend!

This is a standard size deck (not as large as the book included). The card fronts are not foiled/not shiny. Pros: The artwork is clear and beautiful. The descriptions of cards in the book is more detailed than most. The book includes detailed layouts (at the end) Cons: - the book is larger than the cards, meaning the storage case is also larger than the deck size. - the major arcana are not numbered - difficult to shuffle. I destroyed the corner of one of my cards on the 4th ever shuffle of this deck.

Granddaughter loves them. The cards are very sturdy and durable. Love the color w the gold trim.

Love it! The booklet is super helpful.
