Rare deck to find
I first fell in love with this deck at leasr forty years ago after seeing it in a movie entitled GAMES. A great script and over the top acting by an early James Caan, Katherine Ross and a very savvy and ambitious large scaled grifter played by Simone Signoret. The deck "accidentally" fell out of her steamer trunk and you can take it from there. I bought the first deck at the now defunct Samuel Weiser's Occult Bookstore when it was famously located in NYC's East Village and the replacement decks at the Magickal Child. Although my grandmother taught me how to read cards with the Naipes Españoles I raised the bar and worked with this one as well and I'm not only grateful but happy that these were the first decks I was exposed to because when I saw the Rider-Waite-Smith cards I preferred the challenges of the former. The Major Arcana of the 1JJ are works of art and sensing that the card stock isn't the best I own three of this deck, one having a permanent area in my prayer space.Read full review

Horrible! RWS Pamela Colman Smith
This deck is horrible. The faces are distorted and not pleasant to look at and the coloring makes everyone look as they have a skin rash. I wouldn't even give them as a gift to someone else because I don't want them to see this terrible art. It's better to buy a vintage 70-90's original Rider Waite if you are looking for something special. Read full review

Pamela Colman Smith’s Tarot Deck
US Games Systems finally got it right with this deck; it’s just about perfect. The images are sharp, with a nicely muted color scheme that correlates well with the art style. The card stock is just right; it’s substantial, but not so hefty as to be clunky. Also, the card backs are attractive and understated. Overall, what a lovely homage to Pamela Colman Smith. It’s a keeper.Read full review

Beautiful and traditional.
This is a beautiful tarot of historical and artistic interest and one of the most sophisticated of the tarot de Marseille school. This deck is of a good size, 11.5 cm x 6.4 cm (box) and the cards make an impressive display when laid out in a spread. For people who enjoy a traditional tarot, this has to be one of the best.

1jj Swiss Deck 👍👍
Lovely deck. Smaller than standard but its perfect in its own way. The artwork is phenomenal, unlike anything I've seen. Furthermore, the card stock is high quality. The deck shuffles so smoothly. I really like this deck. I purchased it through a recommendation by Vincent Pitisci author of "Essential Tarot, unlocking the mystery". This book features the 1jj Swiss along with the Waite-Smith deck to teach enhancing tarot skills from images and pips, and how to correlate the two. Pitisci explains that 1jj Swiss is the first variant of Marseille. I'm so thrilled.Read full review

Ouija board
It looks like exactly as it looks on the pic. The board itself isn't wooden, however. Its texture is like a good quality mouse pad. In my opinion, it is a positive trait because it's flexible. The planchette is wooden and good sized for this board. The color of the board is perfect, it's very beautiful radiant blue. Read full review

Perhaps the best version of the Waite-Smith deck
I own several versions of the Rider-Waite tarot, and this one is probably my favorite. The coloring is beautiful. I also enjoy the card backs. I love this deck so much that I bought a second copy - just in case!Read full review

Great medieval tarot deck!
This Medieval tarot deck has a comfortable feeling in the hands as well as in readings. Note that this deck is not language specific and only has Roman Numeral designations on the Major Arcana cards. For me, this is a plus! Remembering the names of the Majors is easy from the images with a little practice. The accompanying booklet is multilingual with English, Italiano, Español, Français, & Deutsch. The booklet has a keyword and description for each card including the name of each Major Arcana card. It is certainly possible to do readings based solely on the booklet. This is now my “go to” deck for Medieval readings with its appealing imagery. This deck lives up to the high standards of Lo Scarabeo!Read full review
