Customers say
Customers find this tarot deck beautiful and appreciate its deep symbolism, particularly noting its astrological/Qabalistic/alchemical associations. The cards are detailed and serve as an excellent study guide, while being easy to handle and shuffle. Customers consider it powerful and well worth the price.
