Summary: Godly Deck, Mortal Book
Review: This deck is astounding. The artist does a wonderful job portraying the images and ideas in the tarot deck. I feel that this deck defiantly represents a part of the Tarot that has been missing for years.

On the other hand... the book stinks. I barely flipped through it and noticed that the book doesn't do any justice to the deck itself. I actually (no joke) took the book and taped the card defiation section closed because the cards are so expressive I don't want my perceptions of what they represent to me altered.

Overall, this is definalty a great and amazing deck. I feel it is a great deck for beginners, definatly a great deck for the advanced, and and and... if you work with dragons, this deck SHOULDN'T go A DAY without being in your possession.

Summary: A great deck
Review: This deck is simply awesome. The art of the cards is also extremely awesome. The book that accompanies it is also very helpful. The pictures of the cards are next to the text that describes their art and meaning. This is my first deck and I am glad that a chose it for my first deck. In the back of the book there are candle spells and meditations. If you are a dragon lover then this deck is a must but even if you are not I highly recommend it. I hope this review was helpful.

Summary: Pretty, but...
Review: This deck is undoubtly pretty to look at. The imagery is finely rendered with subdued colors and dream-like landscapes somewhat reminiscent of Celtic myth and lore. Destpite the beauty of the deck, I don't see the typical symbols of the tarot that date back to the Templars, the Masonry, and most of the scenes portrayed do not quite render the meanings of the Arcana they intend to represent. The book could have been more extensive in tying to offer a minimum spectrum of divinatory meanings for each card. I personally believe this deck will be of great use to quite experienced tarot readers, who know the traditional imagery so well, they do not need to actually look at the pictures in the cards to be reminded of their meanings; and to the tarot collector, who does not necessarily need to ask the cards for guidance.

Summary: Expierenced Tarot Reader Gives 5 Stars!
Review: This tarot set is wonderful.. I own hundreds of tarot decks including this one.. This set is perfect for beginers as well as expierenced tarot readers. The booklet gives straight thru meanings of each card, shows how spreads work, and even gives you meditations you can use.. The cards them selves are wonderful pieces of artwork..I promise that once you start using this.. you won't be disapointed..

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hardcover?
Review: Upon delivery I discoverd the book was a paper back instead of the hardcover as indicated in the web site. Other than that the content is very good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Colorful, The Readings were Accurate, However, the book...
Review: was another story...I don't feel the descriptions of each card in the book to be accurate at all. The incorrect descriptions themselves weren't even descriptive enough. I printed out the traditional descriptions and taped them inside the book for each card for travel purposes. Alot of information in this book was useless to me. Alittle "beginner" information to meditation. More "beginner" information to Tarot and a few spreads. Other than that, some spells and candle magic that I don't bother with.

But on the up side, the art is beautiful and so colorful that cards sometimes speak for themselves. This was the only deck I could find that wasn't too bland and unattractive to me. Not every card in this deck gives you it's meaning just by the artwork. Which makes it alittle difficult to identify immediately with each card since images aren't memorable with it's true meaning and may take alittle more time to memorize.

However, either way, all my readings have been accurate with this deck. I like this deck enough that I gave it 4 stars. I believe that this deck, despite the book, is a worthwhile buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An amazing Tarot Deck.
Review: Well, first the negative. I agree that the book lacks information for beginners. The card descriptions and stories are well written but information about divining is very lacking. It details four different spreads but only offers roughly a one page explanation of each. Beside this point I'm fairly fond of most of Conway's writings. As far as Tarot readings I've found that Tarot in Ten Minutes by R.T. Kaser is very useful.

The cards themselves are amazing. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Very beautiful and the place values are clearly written. One thing to note. The Hierophant in this deck is renamed the High Priest and the Devil is called Chains. This was explained as the original names having nothing to do with Pre-Christian Celtic Spirituality. Also this deck features the Sword suit as Fire and the Wands as Wind. I prefer this layout but some people might disagree with it if they are used to more traditional decks. All and all I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Breathtakingly beautiful cards
Review: When I bought this deck, I was hoping it would be nice. I was amazed. This deck is absoutely gorgeous and very impressive. I was definitely not disappointed and everyone who has seen it has had the same reaction. If you love dragons and want to work with powerful and accurate cards, get this deck. You won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hauntingly beautiful
Review: You do not have to be a dragon lover to like these cards. I gave it a 5 because the cards are so beautiful. However, the book can be difficult to read and in some cases, the descriptions do not seem to match the cards themselves. I would not really recommend these cards to beginners, but if they speak to you, get them. You probably will not be disappointed. The images on the cards tend to speak for themselves, but if you're looking for specific meanings, the book can be very confusing and you may need to cross-reference with another book.
