Tarot Of The Old Path Deck

Summary: Old and New Path
Review: I just recently bought this deck. I'm very interested in Wicca so I wanted a deck that reflected the Wicca feeling. And it does.
I bought this deck after reading several reviews, some of them talked about little bits of silver on the major cards. This seems to be the case only with OLDER decks. The new decks don't have any silver. This was a bit disappointing for me, but I still think this is a beautiful deck.
The majors are very well done. But the amount of white on the minor cards takes some getting used to, and they could have been nicer if they had a bit more colour. Some of the mouths on the minor cards look weird, and the teeth are a bit strange. But the eyes are great, really well done.
The cards are very detailed; I see something new every time I look at them. I would recommend this deck, but it might be nicer to get an older, secondhand, deck; with the bits of silver on it.

Review: It's my belief that certain items are more intuned to certain people. In other words, particular items call out to individuals. Not everything is for everyone. This tarot deck, however, was an instant connection with me. I am an extreme newby but found this deck easy to use. The pictures are thought provoking and not cartoony. The booklet that accompanies it shows one layout, the celtic cross, as well as interpretations. It is a great launching point for learning. Once I've conquered this layout, I will be looking to other books on layouts. Take a look at the card samples that Amazon supplies. If this calls to you, buy it! You won't regret it! :)

Review: The imagery in this deck is outstanding. The pagan themes make it all the more meaningful for those of us who follow the Old Path. It is one of many decks I own but practically the only one I use

Review: This was my first Tarot deck. At first (esp. for newbies to Tarot) it seems a bit intimidating. I have used this deck for 7 years and they have proven to be a wonderful asset. Beautiful graphics highlighted with silver. I highly recommend this deck!!

Summary: Good for instinctive readers
Review: This was my first tarot deck. None of the "traditional" decks such as the Rider-Waite appealed to me at all. When I found this deck, there was an immediate feeling of connection.

Memorizing card meanings isn't my strong suit; I've found that for me, with this deck, meanings come through very clearly simply through the artwork. While they don't always correspond with the "book" descriptions, they're invariably accurate. (YMMV, as always.)

The images are somewhat fantasy-inspired drawings in mainly pastel colors, with much herbal and floral symbolism. Be sure to watch the details on the cards- the backgrounds may offer hints that will help clarify your reading.

Each suit has a base color corresponding to it's element (swords-air-yellow, cauldrons-water-blue, etc.). Each card also has a distinct "personality" to it, unlike some decks that seem to use the same face for all the queens, or kings.

For those concerned about such things, there is some straightforward nudity on a few of the major arcana cards, but nothing crude or salacious.

All in all a deck that I enjoy working with, and also simply enjoy looking at.
