Oceanic Tarot: Includes a full deck of specially commissioned tarot cards and a 64-page illustrated book

So, art first I was a tiny bit disappointed in this deck when I got it, but now I love it. I had waited for months for it to come out and the cards looked as if they were magical and beautiful when i previewed them online. I had not seen the minor arcana cards, only major. Those were gorgeous and I'm a Pisces who loves the ocean and mermaids,etc. So I was instantly drawn to them. When they arrived, first off, they came in a very sturdy, practical sized box that fits the deck and guidebook. Total bonus, hard, sturdy box, fits nicely, not too big, and beautiful pictures. The book is just as colorful as the cards, every page is beautiful. So then the cards, at first I was very disappointed when I saw the minor arcana as they were very basic and not different for each suit. After a while though, they grew on me because of the beauty of the actual symbol on the cards. The major arcana, LOVED FROM THE BEGINNING!!! Beautiful! Each one is colorful and whimsical. Next, the cards are bigger cards that were a bit difficult to hold in my shorter hands. The cards are thinner than most (and to be honest a bit flimsy) but they shuffle easy and were easy to learn to hold after breaking them in a bit. The only other complaint is the edges are slightly peeling in the corners after a few uses, not bad, but noticeable. I own many decks and books so I understand the minors without the symbolism need as in older decks, so the guide book is a must for beginners. Which I actually found for being a thinner book, it was beautiful, Colorful and contained really good basic understandings for each card. It sums up the meanings quite well I think! Which is great for beginners. It gives a basic meaning, a bit of advice and some keywords. I also love that the creator is a marine biologist (I believe) who created this deck for the life of the sea and all its beauty, all while out on the open water on a boat in the ocean. It makes me feel a bit more connected to this deck, rather than the basic many decks that are just churned out yearly by other deck creators. So at first, slightly disappointed, but I really, really LOVE THIS DECK now. It's also insanely accurate and I connected immediately with the readings and spreads i was getting and trying. All in all, It's beautiful, easy to use, easy to shuffle, has a great guide book, info on the deck and tarot meanings. Plus, heavy duty box, again, big bonus in case you don't have a wooden box, etc to site them in! I recommend this deck absolutely. Oh and they changed a few of the major arcana names such as death, etc. I think, but no big deal. Love it

A beautiful deck that not only looks good but reads easily and captures ethnicity and male and female energy. Yes the minors are pip style with no human elements and are repeating symbols to represent the number but it really works well. I find that the stunning illustrations of the majors stand out in a reading even more because of the understated pip cards, which to me are still gorgeous. This deck is very watery and positive and will resonate deeply if you have a connection to the ocean or sea life but will probably appeal to anyone who loves vibrant colors. The keywords that are used on each card are not intrusive or distracting at all but help to add depth. Great for personal readings and insight. Only used it a few times and it has become a favorite!

The artwork is so incredibly beautiful! The blues, greens, and purples make you really feel like you're in the ocean when you're doing a reading. But what really makes this deck pop is the full-color guide which is chock full of information! I'm a newbie to tarot and this was my first deck and I connected with it immediately. I love mermaids and the ocean and I really feel them connecting with me when I use this deck. I love the fact that the cards are glossy. That makes the images pop. Yes for the first few shuffles they stuck together but after that they shuffled just fine. Some people complained that the author doesn't do reversals, and honestly I don't mind that at all. You can do them if you want and just look up the meanings online, but to me, the energy of this deck is positive and should stay positive. I ended up buying a different deck to do reversals with and want this one to stay light. I can't gush enough on how beautiful and amazing this deck is. I highly recommend it, especially if it's your first deck.

This is a beautiful deck with soft & dreamy colors. The artwork is truly stunning! I wish the pip cards had been individually done because swords & coins just don't quite fit in the aquatic scenery, but I am not being critical since I am not an artist. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to come up with an entire deck of tarot scenes. The cards are a bit large for my hands, making it harder to shuffle, but I think my hands are smaller. I have found other decks hard to shuffle & no one else commented. Anyway, the pictures are so pretty & really well done. I'm very glad I bought this deck. It is an amazing addition to my collection. The books gives some unique insight into the meanings of the cards & I found some comfort in the 7 of Swords of all things, an unexpected new twist that helped me understand a recent problem.

I don't do a lot of reviews but I had to show gratitude for this gorgeous deck! When I was learning about tarot one women said you must pick a deck that speaks to you and I love all things ocean so this definitely spoke to me! I have a traditional deck but this one will help me learn what all those cards actually mean a lot easier than the other book I have..this one even comes with a beautiful book with thorough and easy to understand interpretations of each card and the cards themselves give a lot more explanation than traditional cards. I will save these and try them right away!

Tolle Qualität

Puntos positivos: 1 El empaque y el libro son hermosos y se toman la molestia de incluir instrucciones y explicaciones sobre los arcanos en el librito. Realmente es una belleza. 2 La impresión es impecable, se sienten bien al barajarse. 3 En general el costo corresponde a la calidad. 4 Cada carta tienen una palabra clave que puede ayudar a los principiantes a identificar los significados de cada una junto con el nombre del arcano. Puntos negativos: 1 Otros decks tienen una ilustración original por cada arcano, no es así en este caso, aquí únicamente los arcanos mayores, la reina y el rey, los caballeros y los pages están ilustrados, me molestó bastante que los demás estuvieran representados con literalmente 4 copas, o 4 espadas o 4 bastos. Eso es lo que a mi gusto le restó puntos. 2 La ilustración de la parte trasera de las cartas hace identificable cuando se encuentran en posición normal o en reversa, si lees las cartas con posiciones inversas esto puede ser muy incómodo. En general es una buena compra, ojalá en próximas ediciones puedan corregir los puntos negativos.

凄く期待したので、その分がっかり感も大きかったです。 インクのにおいがきつく、紙質は弱く、カードの角が切れ落ちました。 また、そもそもカードに傷があり実践では使い物になりません デザインが良いだけにもったいないです。

I have had my eye on these cards for a little while now. It is the only tarot deck in stock in my tiny local bookstore and I've often taken a look at the beautiful package. I love the ocean, and mermaids, so I was naturally drawn to it. I decided to check it out on youtube. I wasn't sure how I felt about pip cards for the minor arcana. I love the art of the major arcana and court cards so much, that it would have been amazing to have the whole deck done. That being said, these cards, even the pips, are quite nice. The card stock is decent, they shuffle nicely. The box is nice and stores the cards and guide nicely for safe keeping. The cards are beautiful, with borderless images. Each card is labelled at the top, and has a key word at the bottom, even the pips. I was worried about the pips as I am still relatively new to tarot and am still learning all the cards, but I think that having just the name and keyword will actually help me to learn the traditional meanings, even without the traditional symbolism of the basic RWS deck. I am definitely looking forward to diving in and working with these beautiful cards! They have a lovely, gentle energy to them.

I bought this deck a few years back because I was immediately drawn to them. The cards are sturdy & great quality...sadly not sturdy enough to endure the teeth & hands of a two year old who chewed on a few & bent another few *Sigh*...Note to any parent of a toddler who is buying these: Make sure you don't have the audacity to think you can leave them sitting while you go pop the kettle on! Anyhoo, I love these cards so much that I am now buying another deck so I can replace the chewed & bent ones & also have back ups for the others if anything untoward should happen to the survivors of the last deck. You won't be disappointed buying these, the book is wonderful for any beginners & each card comes with a word at the bottom so your intuition can also give your own meaning to each card. The book gives clear instructions on layouts for readings, whether that be for yourself or others. It does lean more towards the positive side of things, so even the more "negative" cards have an helpful insight to give them a more positive spin. It's absolutely not a dealbreaker though, it adds to the charm of this deck.
