This deck didn't really speak to me: My only successes using Tarot of a Moon Garden was at Samhain, when I think I had a little extra help. The imagery is similar to the Rider-Waite deck, which is what I learned on. However the coloring and tone of the deck was too happy. I found myself, especially with the minor arcana, trying to pull up in my mind what the Rider-Waite card had looked like. I did like some of the cards; the Wheel of Fortune card was a carousel with dragons, unicorns and other exotic animals. In general, I liked the Major Arcana best. The Death card was a purple and red dragon. And while the major arcana are the most significant cards in a deck, the only make up less than a 3rd of it. I had a lot of trouble intuitively understanding the minor arcana. I am shopping for a new deck now, any reccommendations?
Beautiful! Great connection, too: I just have the cards, not the book \owishing for it\c, but the cards are beautiful, especially the colorful flora. Colors are magnificent and the images help connect you with the intuitive side. I have formed a deep connection with these cards.
Beautiful and full of meaning.: Someone said this deck hasn't Christian symbols.In fact,though the author is Wiccan,she has incorporated the symbols of the Rider-Waite in this deck,though you sometimes need the descriptions from the book to notice this(I'm Christian myself). I love this deck.It was the first deck I ordered,and it's still one of my top favourites.Because it's almost R-W,only so much more fantastical,I rather use this deck than the ones less traditional. The Moon Garden is not shallow.A new world will open to you if you explore this deck.
A great deck.: I use this deck almost every day, and I just love the colors and the imagery. It is a very friendly and positive deck. The book is really great, it has a good paragraph or two for every card and it does give reversals. It also has an activity for each card too, something I've never seen in a basic deck-based-book. Some activities are spells, meditations, etc. It's really well done. The cards are a good size for smaller hands, and they are plastic coated and very glossy. I spilled water on my deck, and the water just beaded up and rolled off- the cards were fine! Not many decks are made this way. I do not find the deck too sweet and fantastical, although it has faries on some cards. I love all the vegetation (ferns and such) that seems to grow right out of the cards. The colors are rich and relaxing. Overall, I really like this deck. ...
A beautiful Deck: I love the fact that the sybols in this deck aren't christianized. My favorate Tarot Deck.
