This is a super fun deck to work with. It doesn’t have a ton of imagery to draw on for the intuitive reader but there is just enough to make it an interesting reading tool in your tarot arsenal. The silhouetted images are graphic and stark really leaving you to your own imagination as to what is really going on in the card. And when you pair the cards together, they make almost a complete scene as if looking at a landscape painting. Pretty neat. You can see anyone in the eyes of each image making reading for others a breeze.
The cards are easy to shuffle and just bendy enough to make it easier on smaller hands. It comes with a small sturdy box just about the size of the deck and the booklet is a 112 page powerhouse. If you want to learn about card descriptions, this is the deck for you. The booklet sees the cards much in the way I do yet haven’t really voiced much. I feel like the author and I are siblings from another mother in this way. I enjoy all the interpretations and look to the booklet even when using other decks. I would seriously like to see Bright write a comprehensive tarot book relating all his descriptions and associations with the cards. I am sure it would be a best seller.
The back of the card is a soothing image that doesn’t detract from the deck with a non-directional print making reversals a surprise if you like that sort of thing. The bold writing on the cards appeals to the graphic designer in me and the colorful backgrounds of each card contrasts nicely from card to card.
If you like to take your cards on the go, the box is easy enough to transport and protect your deck like a champ.
Definitely check this deck out. It is a true winner in my book.
