Book Reviews of Universal Waite Tarot Deck and Book Set
Book Review: The best alternative to the original!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have around 65 decks and among all the complete RWS clones out there, this is my favourite. I was always put off by the orginal colouring and thick lines, ugly!
When I came across this and delicate, exquisite and sumptious re-colouring by Hanson-Roberts I was very delighted! I love her way of drawing and use of colour(among my other favourites are her signature deck and the Whimsical) technique. The details just pop out and sing their message. It's astounding how simple colour changes and line restructuring can totally change your experience with a deck you formerly couldn't work with.
So many books use the RWS for study and illustration, and it's been a treasure having this gorgeous deck to take out and follow along. As an alternative to the basic or original versions, this comes the most highly recommended by me!
Book Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is nicely decorated. I love the color. The book can be a bit difficult to read but like anything, you just have to keep reading it. The poster that came with it showing the Celtic Cross spread is very nice. If the book isn't for you, there are some great free tarot websites out there..... It was nicely packaged as well as arrived on time (i had it shipped and received in 2 days). The cards were slightly smaller than they appear in the picture but they are still quite large. They are a little smaller than the Sacred Circle Tarot deck, and that deck is huge. I am really satisfied with this product!Book Review: Beautiful Cards and Great Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Arrived in the mail today and I'm extremely pleased! Super buy ~ full-sized paperback book included along with a beautiful (free!) "Ancient 10-Card Tarot Spread" Poster AND the cards are extremely beautiful! Having had the "original" set, I was very glad to see the more colorful Universal and Radiant sets come out. I could not imagine the Radiant set being more vibrant and beautiful than this (Universal). I think it is the correct "fit" (at least for me) of all three of the "classic" Waite Decks. You won't go wrong with this item ~ you'll be extremely pleased and happy!Book Review: Inner Glow
Summary: 5 Stars
I was already a fan of Mary Hanson-Roberts, and her style, but my experiences with this deck take it home. These cards are a beautiful fresh look at the paragon of tradition. They really do have a warm, soft glow. The artwork is colored in a soft slightly grainy, rich without being over powering, colored pencil kind of way. So soothing. Great card stock, mine were somewhat slippery, though, very heavy on the laminate, but they're not clunky.
Overall, I was exceptionally pleased with this version of the RWS.
Book Review: Universal Waite Tarot Book & Deck Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first Tarot deck I ever purchased. As one of the Golden Dawn designs, a very popular one written about and used to illustrate many Tarot books, it is quite a good purchase.
It is one of the modern Tarot decks which includes illustrated minor arcana cards in addition to complex art of the major arcana, and when I read about Tarot divination and esoterica and Tarot symbolic images, I open the deck and review what is said in the book. I am quite certain this will help me to learn the secrets of the Tarot.
