Tarot of the Divine: A Deck and Guidebook Inspired by Deities, Folklore, and Fairy Tales from Around the World: Tarot Cards

The media could not be loaded. As someone who’s been working with tarot for years, Tarot of the Divine quickly became one of my all-time favorite decks. The artwork is absolutely breathtaking—each card feels like a tiny, sacred portal into a different world. I love how the deck draws from global folklore and mythology; it not only honors cultural diversity, but also adds such rich depth and meaning to every reading.The card stock is great quality—smooth, easy to shuffle, and durable. The guidebook is clear and informative, with just enough detail to inspire without overwhelming. I find myself pulling this deck constantly, both for personal reflection and readings for others. It’s intuitive, powerful, and honestly, just so beautiful to hold in your hands.If you’re looking for a deck that feels both mystical and deeply rooted in the stories of our ancestors, Tarot of the Divine is pure magic. I truly LOVE this deck and can’t recommend it enough!

As always there are those customers who complain that the deck they paid less than MSRP for is not engraved by artisan craftsmen on slabs of imported European marble. I am unsure how one has the expectation that the deck they purchased for under $20 is not on the same card-stock as Pagan Otherworlds or the True Black tarot (which cost at least three times the price of this deck) but I digress. The card-stock is just fine and in fact better than many other mass market decks. This deck is a steal at $17 (what I paid) and easily worth the full $20 price tag.More importantly, the artwork is stunning, thematically consistent and both enchanting and inspired. The deck is accessible to anyone familiar with the RWS system and reads beautifully.The guidebook (basically a deluxe LWB) is full color and gives succinct explanations of each cards, with teases of the folk and fairy tales that inspired each card (for the minors and court. The majors are a bit more vague). However this is a hard cover companion book with expanded versions of each fable that I am most certainly ordering now that I have seen the deck. There are a couple of misprints in the LWB and the spreads are rather pedestrian but it is more than adequate.The cards span the world and represent diversity nicely. It's in no way the usual just pretty white people that many decks showcase.The book and deck come packaged in a handsome, quality box, that make the deck feel a bit more special and luxurious than the bargain price tag warrants.If you love tarot, are a fan of folklore or just love beautiful illustration, buy this deck. If you are that miserable and entitled that you give this gorgeous work of art a one or two star rating because the card-stock is not on par with what you may receive with a boutique, independently published deck go ahead and skip this deck and save your pennies to buy one of those. Or if you do please refrain from posting a pointless review that is not criticism but just complaining.I could not be happier with this deck and cannot wait for the companion book. Near perfection.

I love the texture on the cards. It's comfortable and easy to shuffle, the edges fail to chip while shuffling. However the cards do warp and bend easier than other card decks.I think it's well worth the value because of its price, the beautiful design of the cards, the unique inclusive mythological theme of the deck, and the insightful guidebook included.I wish the deck box was fit to the size of the cards. The deck is bigger than a regular tarot card size because of the size of the guidebook being bigger, but that's okay.I've learned a lot about different folktales and mythologies through this deck.I think this deck is great for both beginners and experts because the theme of the deck diverts away from original rider waite tarot enough to bring new psychic downloads and insights for experts, but the guidebook helps beginners make newer connections of the original meaning of the rider waite, while keeping the original meaning of the cards intact.The deck also includes LGBT couples if I remember correctly.And I love that the guidebook tells you which ethnicities and nationalities and cultures each folktale comes from.
