From the moment I opened the box I loved this deck. The artwork is stunning. The cards are sturdy. I appreciate the fact that the cards are not slippery and can shuffle and mix well without flying out of my hands. (I say that because the deck I’ve been using has gilded/coated backs and they’re slick as ice.)
From my first reading, these cards know me. It has actually been a little eerie feeling the familiarity right out of the box. They do not mince words, either. Not harsh, but “hey, let’s cut to the core of the matter.”
I had been looking for over a month for a deck with certain criteria…traditional RWS imagery, but a different art style that isn’t campy. I didn’t think I’d ever find what I was looking for. When I saw this deck, I knew instantly it was the right one.
The Thai inspired art is gorgeous, and it is so calming to look through the cards just for the sake of the art.
The Journey Back in Time tarot deck is a must have for any collection.
