Rating: Summary: Hauntingly Beautiful Review: This is it! For years I have searched for a tarot where the imagery was not a distraction. The beauty of the Victoria Regina deck is so outstanding, that it lets the full depth and meaning of theTarot shine through. Congratulations , and thank you Sarah Ovenall.
Rating: Summary: A true original, and a new classic Review: This is my favourite modern deck. It's beautiful, striking and highly original, but instantly readable. Some decks need a big commitment to 'get used to' but if you're familiar with the Rider Waite deck, then this one won't be a big stretch for you to read with. Ovenall's exceptional ability as a collagist and her generosity in encouraging others to have-a-go at making their own deck is admirable too. This deck is a rare thing - a Collector's deck to treasure, but also one you can actually use as your primary reading deck (although I admit it's a bit hard to shuffle). Gorgeous!
Rating: Summary: Charmed... Review: This wonderful new deck has it all...Beauty, quality and uniqueness that make it really stand out. This is a collage deck, created from Victorian-era clip art. Even if you are not a fan of collage, this deck will steal your heart. The artist has so seamlessly and skilfully merged these images, that it is difficult to identify as collage. The images are nostaligic and yet modern. It is based on the Rider-Waite system and very easy to read with. It comes with a wonderfully written (and interesting!) book, and a lovely and surprisingly high-quality velvet bag. I love it and can't recommend it enough!
