The Uncommon Tarot: A Contemporary Reimagining of an Ancient Oracle: (78-Card Deck and Guidebook)

This deck is amazing with clarity and boldness and is very good for quick readings in its energy. But it's not a harsh deck to use with its energy, like the happy tarot for example. The guide book is good too and has reversals. It's one of my favourite decks to use for readings especially as an all rounder deck. It manages to have a ballance of strengths in it and not many weaknesses in all types of readings. I love using it for clients in coffee shops as its easy to get what you need In any environment too! Love this deck!

I have been working with this deck for a while and it gives great insights. This is one of the decks I use for intuitive readings.

Love absolutely everything about this collage deck...except I wish the writing at the bottom was in a slightly larger font. This deck really speaks to me and I use it all the time.

I could almost give this deck a 3 for the quality of printing, namely that the images are way underexposed making full h difficult. Nonetheless, they shine through as extraordinary gems, I look forward to exploring if I can get past them being undersized and underexposed. Such a shame with such a deep and beautiful set of images.

I’m overcome with joy at how thoughtfully designed and truly beautiful these cards are. Having read some negative reviews about the “negative energy” a couple of reviewers purport these cards to carry, despite my enthusiasm about this deck after almost a month’s worth of research to find a deck right for me (so dismayed with what I’d found that I started designing my own), I was a little anxious about unboxing these. Would they be like the pictures? Would they somehow bring negative energy to my life? (And I don’t even really believe in that!)Here’s what happened. I’d had a marvelous day and returned home to find the deck delivered. I’ve a had a false start with Amazon re: delivery damage and general quality of cards before so I was bracing myself for potential disappointment. As I was getting ready to open the parcel, a number of annoyances of my living situation added clouds to my mood. I was hesitant to open the pack in this subpar mood. But due to impatience I went ahead anyways. First impressions? A tint dent on the outside box. Seriously Amazon!?!? What is so hard about learning to ship cards like a book, i.e. do not put them in a skinny padded envelope because they will bruise. Ok, so that was disappointing, but negligible if all else was as it should be.It was. And beyond. As soon as I open the box the clouds on my mind disperse and I eagerly pick up the cards. Slowly greeting them one by one my mood goes from cranky to elated in seconds. These cards are just so beautiful and so thoughtfully designed that it makes my little heart sing. The images on the cards are more diffuse than sharp, but that speaks to both my aesthetic preferences and allows for an openness of interpretation. And while these might not read as high resolution images (which I love), they are abundant with detail and avenues for interpretation. For all the richness of imagery and generous color palette, these cards are not crass or imposing. They offer a wealth of interpretative approaches without being overly directional. Colorful but subtle. Breadth of color palette but not “bright” or “bold”. I’m a fan of both bright and bold but with the richness of imagery here I do welcome the calmer overall hue of the cards.The cards are thinner than some other cards I’ve tried but I prefer these by far. They are strong and supple and a delight to shuffle. The size makes them the perfect fit for my hands (medium) and there’s a reassuring weight to the deck that makes it feel substantial.If I had to find a less positive aspect of this deck it would be the relative prominence of the butterfly motif. It would not have been my first choice personally but it actually really works within the broader design concept, so… no complaints.If it’s not clear by now, I should state the obvious: I LOVE these cards.They are stunning aesthetically and thoughtfully designed. Such a rare combination. And I’m incredibly grateful to the makers for this rare example of a both inclusive and art-forward tarot deck design that also adheres closely to the tradition, thus enabling the users and the cards to engage with a deep tradition of tarot wisdom but with a lot less of the baggage. Thank you.To the people out there who think it’s ok to leave poor ratings for a product based on “negative vibes” you got from it. Seriously? Every single tarot deck you can buy that’s not been hand-painted and artisan-produced will come from a factory, most likely not a happy environment, more likely pretty destitute. How do you expect that deck to arrive with happy vibes in your mailbox? There’s ample advice available online on how to cleanse a deck upon receipt. Enough said.

Em geral eu prefiro tarôs mais clássicos e simples. Não era muito fã das colagens - até agora. Este tarô me chamou a atenção e eu me encantei de cara com as imagens. Assisti a alguns vídeos antes de comprar, e a identificação foi grande. Agora, com ele em mãos, só posso dizer que estou mais encantada ainda: o trabalho artístico é de bom gosto; Shaheen Miro consegue permanecer fiel ao Rider Waite, mas com criatividade e diversidade: as imagens são marcantes, multiculturais, multiraciais e muito expressivas. O livrinho é breve mas ao ponto - como costumam ser as interpretações da Theresa Reed (mas, como todo "little white book", trás só o básico essencial). A qualidade de todo o material - cartas, livrinho e caixa - é boa e o acabamento é perfeito. A espessura das cartas é semelhante aos decks da Lo Scarabeo, porém o material me pareceu mais firme e resistente. Penso até que o padrão está acima dos decks dessa faixa de preço.E o melhor: as primeiras leituras com ele foram de perfeita acurácia. É apropriado para iniciantes? Eu diria que sim, já que as ilustrações são bem fiéis ao RWS. No entanto, o tipo de arte não é de fácil visualização para quem está aprendendo: algumas imagens são um pouco escuras, e quando olhamos para a mesa nem sempre é imediata a percepção da leitura como um todo. Pelo mesmo motivo, não creio que seria um deck apropriado para leituras complexas, que envolvem muitas cartas - principalmente se a leitura for para outra pessoa. Eu particularmente pretendo reservá-lo para tiragens mais simples, a menos que esteja lendo para mim mesma.Mas vou dizer uma coisa: essas cartas são tão cativantes que parecem acenar pra mim da mesa onde ficam. Sinto vontade de manuseá-las sempre que possível, de observá-las, analisá-las, mergulhar nelas. Este é meu sétimo deck e não havia sentido isso com nenhum dos anteriores - nem mesmo o primeiro. 5 estrelas e 0 arrependimento!

Carte e scatolina bellissime, la scatolina esterna ha una carta argentata cangiante e le carte hanno il bordo argentato. Le carte sono robuste e lucide, con disegni molto belli. Libretto con interpretazioni in parte tradizionali e in parte più originali. Messaggi gentili.
