Wyspell Gold Tarot Cards with Guide Book - Unique Tarot Deck for Beginners

This is by far the best artistic version of the rider way tarot deck I have ever seen before! I am not a big fan of the classic coloring or styling of the traditional tarot. Because the color scheme of the traditional tarot isn't as great the line quality artistically speaking isn't great either. But what makes these great and worth the wait is that the color scheme is amazing and harmonizes the entire image and not only the image but also the outer borders of the cards as well. The line quality is very consistent and adds to the detail without taking anything away from the actual symbolism of the cards themselves. I am very impressed with this because a lot of riderweight clones I see don't really improve this line art style the way that this does. And the gold foil on it makes it even more impressive and more luxurious shiny and it gives it that flare that really makes it feel like it's more money than it's actually worth. In fact I'm kind of tempted to buy another one. The quality of this deck I am very impressed with it feels very strong quality, and his overall very beautiful and it has a nice quality feel to it. It's really easy to read the cards because of the way they were designed and not only artistically but also physically as well. As far as I can tell pretty much all the symbolism is there and the traditional tarot. There are some changes however for instance the magician card and the full card seem to deviate a bit more from the traditional tarot however this really isn't a a big a disappointment because everything else is just so amazing! I wouldn't really call this a rider-weight clone I say this is better than a wider weight clone. And this is something that I've been looking for a very long time as a tarot reader to find beautiful cards as I read them for my clients so that way they can appreciate the artistic beauty and value and money that goes into the artistic work as a tarot reader but also as an artist creating the cards, and an artist appreciating art as well, which I am also an artist and tarot reader. If anyone is thinking about buying this deck I give it the best praise out of any other traditional Rider weight tarot out there! In fact I am even tempted to buy a second one. And I am very impressed at the price here I've seen lots of indie decks made by artists that are you know pretty okay, I'm good but it's very rare to find a traditional tarot that actually holds tribute to the original Rider waite, but also has pride and special care and careful design, and harmonious color scheme, and harmonious line quality, well also maintaining the integrity of the rider-waite tradition. Whoever was the artist of this deck did an amazing job and I cannot give a higher praise possible. I am very impressed with this deck, and I hope that other people will be as well. I paid more money for pretty decks, but this is by far the prettiest I've come across at a very affordable and decent price to boot. I would expect these to be at 60-90$ value. In my opinion as an artist and as an experienced tarot consumer. I believe everyone should have this tarot card deck in their collection as a must-have there really isn't anything wrong with it or anything that is bad it's just so good even the way the characters in the tarot the facial expressions, the different types of people that are there, they're not all the same type of person or the same generic male or female look, they have facial style and uniqueness in every one. Also very impressed, generally speaking the anatomy is also drawn well, which is very hard to do. And the gold foil is not over done, so one can easily read the symbols on these cards. The card meanings booklet is also of same quality and also has color! Very beautiful to read and to feel and offers accurate card meanings and not just a few words. This feels like a graphic design quality that is absolutely astounding! 5/5 stars. What are you waiting for? BUY IT! I am so impressed with these cards! I wish I could be an affiliate to promote the heck out of these. I see their potential in the market. Get them while they are at great price right now. I can easily see these become super popular!

Usually I'm not a fan of black and gold (really gold in general, I usually prefer black/white, or black/silver) however this deck is absolutely breath taking. The gold is done so well, and in a helpful way, that a lot of important parts of the cards are actually done in gold and the gold is shiny, like holographic! I'm definitely not a fan of the art style of a typical RWS deck so I'm super glad I stumbled upon these so I can have a readaption of the RWS deck to learn on. Let me tell you about the guide book. This deck, if you don't like it for what ever odd reason (it's AMAZING!) is worthe the purchase for the guide book alone! There's so much information in such a tiny book it's mind blowing. Absolutely read the whole guide book if you grab this deck! Lets talk about the cards now. The card stock in my opinion is perfection. It's very thin but feels like absolute quality. I don't have a worry about super bending the cards (I don't fan shuffle anyway, overhand mainly.) and they absolutely feel amazing in the cards. They over hand shuffle like a dream, and let me tell you the specific deck I recieved LOVES giving me jumpers! I absolutely believe this is going to be my primary deck and I'll use my Light Seer's as well but I just absolutely can't get over this Wyspell deck. I'm seriously so in love with it and am so excited to learn, and grow with it!

I am very happy with this deck! Here is a brief breakdown of each aspect: - Packaging: 5/5. Beautiful, compact, sturdy storage box with a ribbon for easy card removal. - Cardstock quality: 5/5. Smooth, matte, easy to separate and shuffle. Fully reversible backing. - Artwork: 4/5. Clear images, sharp lines, easy to interpret. Stays true to the original Rider-Waite-Smith imagery. However, in some of the cards, the people’s faces look… cursed. (For example, the child’s face in The Sun looks like a demon doll.) Not a dealbreaker, just odd. - Guidebook: 4.5/5. Very detailed and describes both upright and reversed meanings in different contexts. Minor nitpick - some cards’ descriptions are too similar to each other. For example, Five of Wands vs. Five of Swords are both described with very similar keywords (conflict) without much to differentiate the two. - Value for money: 5/5. At under $20, this high-quality deck is amazing value. Overall rating: Still a 5/5. I highly recommend this deck to beginners who want a Rider-Waite-Smith deck but find the original artwork tacky.

Wyspell cards are a huge favorite. The cardstock is quality, they shuffle fantastic and dont stick. I have small hands, and so I side shuffle to mix my decks and then hand shuffle and take the flipped cards that come out. The guidebooks are always top notch with great insight. The images are beautiful and thoughtfully put together. I own 4 Wyspell decks so far and love them all.

This is an absolutely stunning deck. I learned Tarot on the Rider Waite Smith deck, and my Tarot knowledge is based on that deck. However, I had grown tired of that deck, but was having a hard time finding a RWS-based deck I really loved. I bought many, and there would always be one or two cards, or more, that I didn't like for some reason. Then I discovered this deck. Based on the reviews, I bought it, and it is Tarot Deck Perfection. It contains everything important from Pamela Coleman Smith's artwork, but it has smoother lines, it's more elegant, some of the odd (and to me, off-putting) elements from Smith's artwork have been changed, and the result is an absolutely fabulous deck. The muted color palette remains clear and easy to read because of the high contrast and metallic touches. The cardstock is perfect. This is really a deck to cherish for a lifetime. I just absolutely love it. As a longtime RWS user, I love having a deck that feels really "new" yet one that I don't have to re-learn. It's familiar enough to just pick up and read with, yet it's a whole new, fresh take on the original. I can't praise it enough.

I loved this deck the moment I received it. The card stock is good quality, the artwork is based on RW but with a modern rendering. The characters depicted offer more diversity than you often see in tarot cards but they still have a classic feel, and the artwork is simple enough that it encourages individual interpretations. I can’t imagine a better deck for beginners or seasoned tarot readers. I removed one star because the tiny book—chock full of useful information—is printed on black paper in minuscule type, making it very hard to handle and read. The cards are gorgeous; I think with the book they let cleverness get in the way of usefulness. Still, the deck more than makes up for the booklet.

Purchased for fun. The deck is very pretty, I love the gold foil details on the cards. The handbook is helpful.

A beautiful set of cards! Very pleased!

Nach dem Preis her zu urteilen dachte ich, dass die Karten hochqualitativ sind und keine Macken besitzen. Nach dem Öffnen der Packung fiel mir sofort auf das die Karten zu dünn sind und sich sehr schnell verbiegen. Als ich die Karten gemischt habe, hat sich die Goldumrandung schon abgenutzt und die Karten haben die Hände leicht schwarz abgefärbt..!! Nie wieder. Ich bin sehr enttäuscht.

Its a nice deck but wish the cards are thicker. The cards have a classic look in black and gold. Not too fanciful, book is too small but luckily i have a detailed bigger tarot book for this. These are good for travelling, it comes with a hard and sturdy casing.

Box was a bit creased in the corner. Overall nice deck with solid box and decent guidebook. Card stock is not great. Easy to crease if bent too far.

On arrival, there was a little dent on the box. However, overall I’m very happy with the set! The cards are beautiful, although a bit big for shuffling. The handbook makes the ideas very easy to grasp for a first timer, and I find it very interesting. Glad I got this one!

La calidad es buena, los materiales son resistentes y se ve que van a durar bastante. Vale cada centavo 👌🏽
