Summary: Simple, Effiecient and Full of Energy!
Review: After taking a very interesting tarot reading in downtown sau paulo, I was hooked this original method of divination. I started looking around for something that displays the tradition in itself and is also well designed to learn from and for quicker reading. Many books were on the subject, some kits which contain the decks too. However, most were designed in a way that only experienced tarot readers would be interested. I lost my desire after a while. Then, I came across the Buckland Romani Tarot kit. I was impressed by the cover art done by Lissane Lake so I bought it as a last chance pursuit. Three weeks later, I was literally being paid a visit by friends and relatives who were amazed by the degree of accuricy and speed of my previous readings. It took me two days to get the actual hand and with the amazing, thorough guide book that comes with this deck, I quickly became a Gypsy myself! This is an amazing kit, just looking at the deck itself i sense the power within. If you're interested in tarot and you want to be a part of this amazing art, buy this and only this!

Summary: Be a Gypsy - or at least use appropriate cards...
Review: I don't own very many Tarot decks - I've never been interested in collecting them. I'm a lot more interested in using a deck that speaks to me - a deck that allows me to be a better reader for others.I find the vibrant colors and highly evocative imagery of this deck to be one of the more interesting I've ever used. The basic images aren't that different from other decks that you won't know what the cards mean anymore, but they're different enough to allow you to gain a whole new insight on the Tarot by using this deck. The four cards that are shown in the picture section give you a good idea of what some of the cards from this deck look like. I'm particularly fond of the secondary interpretations that one can divine from these cards. Are those Gypsy children getting a drink from the cups on the stairs of the Six of Cups or are they spiking a cup with a Gypsy love potion? It's up to the reader to decide - based on the cards around you in a reading. The art is fantastic and reminds me a lot of the supposed Gypsy heritage of Tarot cards, although some people might be put off by that type of imagery. The colors and symbolism give me a great insight when using this deck to give readings to others. The book is very informative and it's use of the images from the cards enhances it's value to potential users of this deck. But it's not too overpowering for new Tarot readers either, and that's a big plus. This deck might work well at a carnival or renaissance fair if you want to give it an ideal flavor. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in Tarot reading, especially if you are interested in Tarot readings for other people, and not just self discovery.

Summary: A Personal Favorite
Review: I have only been reading tarot cards for about 10 years, but this deck is priceless to me. It was given to me by someone very close to me, and ironically, they share the same last name as the creator Raymond Buckland. I was amazed how accurate these cards were the first time I used them. I have read from a few tarot decks before, and this is the first deck that made me feel like the answers just flowed from the cards. The Romani Deck allows flexability and interpritation, where most seem to be set in a specific pattern of what the cards meant.
This deck is also so beautiful, that you almost feel like you're inside the pictures. My personal favorite is the 3 of Chivs. The amount of detail that Lissanne Lake has put into her artwork is truely breath-taking. Anyone can become a gypsy with this deck. It makes it so easy to understand why gypsies are believed to have magic in their soul. This is deffinately a deck that I will recomend to my friends, and someday pass down to my children.

Summary: Love it!
Review: What a remarkable odyssey! Such things have been revealed to me since I bought this deck. My mother tearfully confessed to me that for 82 years she has kept the secret that she was born of English-Romani ancestry, and so I too must be Rom--like those depicted in these cards. Then I found out that my father's family just might also be Romani. Unbelievable! I'm still in shock. I had no idea but it's no wonder I love this deck and book. They seem to speak to me personally, and I find they work very well for me indeed. I also love the illustrations. They depict a proud people. -- Harry Mason
