Summary: Very Powerful Deck, and Somewhat Well Written Book
Review: As a voodoo initiate, I found this book and card set to be worthwhile. There's nothing dangerous about this deck at all. Just know that there is a "true" invisible force inside the world of voodoo, and that any rituals that you decide to partake in, you should handle it with care, caution, and grace.
Already, being part of this religion, I can say that the book describes voodoo very well. He talks about the root of it, as well to the present. The only thing is he could of explained the meanings of the cards more. He describes the pictorial part of the cards well, but is very brief with the meanings, which can be alittle confusing, being that there is not another companion book to this deck.
However, I've had these cards for a month now, so I haven't gotten into "Birthing the deck yet", so maybe once done the cards will give me a better insight. But overall, if you are interested in this religion, and into the tarot, this book and card set is not a bad start.

Review: Beautiful deck! Great artistry! Do be careful about the voodoo rituals, as in any other time you may think to call the spirits. There is no doubt - they are there.

Summary: very confusing ... read my edit....
Review: I bought this based on amazon's reviews. I have been reading tarot cards 25 years & i am always open to new avenue's of divination.
Even with a master's degree this is a tough book to get through & follow.
The art on the cards rarely corresponds with the meaning of the card which makes it even harder.
I suppose if i was an expert in voodoo it would help a lot.
It is not written for an novice, although it was written with a novice in mind. I wish it was. In most cases, i have found the text more work then enjoyment. there is good stuff in there but a lot is hard to follow.
edit... after 6 months i really do enjoy these cards & yes, they can be very powerful. had to do a bit of research on voodoo.
still learning. ...

Summary: The book alone is worth the whole price.
Review: I do not even use tarot cards, but the book that comes with this beautiful card deck has become one of my most important reference books on Voodoo and related religions (santeria, etc.). I have referred to it over and over again through the years. It is an amazing work of scholarship and for me, the gorgeous artwork is just a bonus.

Summary: Dangerouse stuff, read and use with cautin
Review: I have been using this tarot deck for three years and havs had amaizing results. Everyone knows me by my tarot deck. Though I recomend these cards wich are highly magical, infact I have never used a deck more powerful, and I have used many. I warn to use with mutch respect and honor. The book has some rituals that can get you into trouble " nothing that will kill you." There is a ritual on birthing the deck, and naming them. This was the first thing I did Madama L La Mama Chola has been with e for three years and I cant immagine life without her. "WORD TO THE WISE! " If you put the spirit in your deck, it will be a powerful deck capable of both good and evil, make sure to study on voodoo and Santeria befor attempting this.

Summary: Smart deck!
Review: I just wanted to say that this deck is my favorite of all. I have had other decks, but this one has a pull. It also has, over time, become very intune with me. I can now tell someone I'm reading for the stop shuffling - I don't even have to touch the cards to know where the top card should be. Two nights ago I did a reading after not having picked up the deck in months. I did not have to shuffle. It's like the deck knew what my next question would be and it was prepared in advance. Very accurate deck, very interesting, and makes me feel like I know the spirits well. Also, if you have this deck wrap it in a cloth like it suggests. That's when my deck got really good. P.S. be careful what cloth. My deck hated white!
