Book Reviews of Golden Tarot Deck
Book Review: Day-by-Day Readings
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyday we look for strength to overcome the obstacles placed before us. This Tarot Set is easy to understand, beautifully illustrated, and provides insight into day-to-day tribulations. Look inside yourself and really think about what the cards reveal. AMAZING! I do a reading to start each day and find it useful both personally and professionally.Book Review: Digital Artwork
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this deck because I wanted something with beautiful, dark imagery, and something with historical significance. The composition of each image is based on Rider-Waite, making it a versatile and easy-to-read deck. It comes with a very complete and informative book, and and very nice cardboard case.
That being said, I was expecting better from the "digital collage" technique. Despite Ms. Black's description of her painstaking efforts to produce "high resolution" images, many of the elements in the pictures are clearly at a resolution too low to be suitable for printing. Ms. Black was apparently using a variety of online sources, rather than working from high-resolution scans of printed material, and this is painfully obvious on several cards. "The Hierophant," for example, has a high-resolution staff, but his face and clothing are clearly lower resolution, resulting in fuzzy, undefined edges. The dress on "The Empress," , and the sword on the "Ace of Swords" suffer the same shortcoming. On the other hand, some of the cards, such as "The High Priestess," have consistent high-resolution, and look great.
Overall, the deck is well designed, but attention to image quality and detail could have been much higher. If you are looking for a complete and informative deck with a reasonable amount of aesthetic appeal, then this is a good deck. If you're looking for drop-dead gorgeous cards with high-quality illustrations, look to a less amateurish publisher such as Lo Scarabeo.
Book Review: Easier than Rider Waite!
Summary: 5 Stars
This deck is so very beautiful, the box is sturdy, the booklet is a nice size and I really like the interpretations, fresh and yet very intuitive. The card stock is firm, but soon becomes easy to handle, the gold gilt edges are truly luxurious. I must say that I was pretty surprised at how reasonable the price is on this deck. I cannot imagine how this was possible, as this deck and book set seem to be of such high quality. U.S. Games System has really outdone themselves in the production of this lovely deck.If you want to see the cards and try a free reading with them visit the artists website; goldentarot.com
The artwork on the cards is really gorgeous, I for one did not immediately realize that it is collaged, as each cards imagery is so well integrated. Now a confession, I buy new decks all the time ever searching for that perfect deck which I can actually figure out how to read with. Always there are a few cards which turn me off and send me back to my trusty Rider Waite. This deck is the deck I have been looking for - finally a deck that incorporates the best of RW interpretive imagery, and actually improves on it! If you are comfortable with RW - you will actually find this deck even easier to read with! I never have had such an easy time coming up with interesting insights and more in depth perceptions. Excellent Deck - Highly Reccomended!
