The Wildwood Tarot

The deck is really good. I like the imagery and the philosophy behind this deck. It has many layers to study and for a reader to incorporate in her/his readings. I didn't like the card stock in the sense that it started to chip within 2 days of me receiving the deck. The backs of the cards started chipping and this doesn't happen despite shuffling the decks many times. So this was a disappointment for me. The overall card stock is Matt and feels good in the hand and it's easy to shuffle.

The card quality is so good they just slid through like butter The card size is bigger than standard and easy to shuffle and the images are soo clear i am soo satisfied with it its worth each penny The book is so detailed i dont even need ant youtube videos to learn about it Cards are casino quality I am very excited Wish me luck

Lovely deck.. animal pictures , forest culture, ancestral touch images contains quite deep meaning. Book is also nice ,gives you a deeper insight about the card meaning. Would not suggest a beginner to start with this ,later after some practice he/she can opt this deck for sure. These cards are a little different and can help you get deeper guidance ,if you focus more on the intuition part than just the meaning and the approach given by the author in the book. Very beautiful cards with the book.. Would suggest tarot readers to definitely go for this deck. As far as quality or cards n packaging is concern ,it is also good , easy shuffling , with Matt touch to cards.👍😊

Beautiful illustrations, good card stock and easy to shuffle deck. The product arrived on time and in good condition. Thank you Amazon. The cards though based on Rider Waite are named differently following the forest theme. Even the minor arcana suits are called arrows, bows, vessels and stones. These suits have images of wild animals and birds. What I liked the most is that the minor arcana cards have a descriptive word on it that helps beginners to interpret the card at a glance without referring to the guide book. And speaking of the book that accompanied the deck, it is elaborately descriptive and takes you into the forest realm. Go for it.

This deck comes with a sturdy box and quite good card stock. I love the back design on the cards. Imagery appeal to those who are fond of nature,forest etc. Size of the cards is bit smaller than regular tarot cards. They shuffle easily. But still cards tend to bend in ond direction strangely. The guidebook contains lot of information on the deck and its background. Its very useful and nice to work with these cards. I have got amazing readings from them. Side shuffling is suggested. Overall very happy with my purchase. I would suggest these to experienced readers as things may seem complex and may scare off a complete beginner. Card stock is not too thin nor too thick. But they tend to bend. Except this everything else is great.🥰

Beautiful deck!

This deck is absolutely amazing. The box is sturdy, the card stock is great and the artwork is brilliant and easy to interpret. I loved the fact that it is not an RWS clone so I get to learn more from it. What is even better is that the guidebook is an absolute treasure. The meanings in the guidebook are very deep. The guidebook is quite chunky. I bought it for Rs 1167 which seems to be a very good deal considering the overall quality of the deck.

This shares some similarities with the RWT but not exactly. It has its own universe and one which is geared towards spirituality and ecological symbiosis. We have forgotten those vital foundations in our mad pursuit of 'riches', and this deck forces us to reconnect with our organic natures. Where this deck shines is in its detailed and rather well written bòok. It gives a lot of information and guides us to evolve our understanding of circumstances, motivations, and outcomes. I recommend this highly for those who wish to go beyond mundane predictions, and towards a deeper comprehension of the forces which drive us on our journeys.

So incredibly pleased with this, the item was described as good but the quality is so much better than that. The book is well written and the artwork on the cards is simply beautiful. And the icing on the cake, it arrived three days before the earliest estimate. So, to summarize, I can’t fault the authors and I definitely cannot fault the seller, and I will be most assuredly buying from them again. World of Books Ltd, you are magnificent.

This edition from Sterling Publishing has glossy card stock! I was appalled when I opened it as I have an earlier edition from another publisher with matte card stock. The deck is still what it is (awesome art and concept), but the glossy card stock just doesn't match the earthy nature of this beautiful deck. I will have to get the other, slightly more expensive edition published by Eddison Books. This one goes to the trash unfortunately.

This is a phenomenal deck. I've used Kris Waldherr's Goddess deck for many years, and I love the rich imagery and goddess mythology of its major arcana, but I'd always wanted to find one with more depth and detail in the minor arcana, as well as one that's more gender-neutral. Most important, I wanted a deck that isn't based on Judeo-Christian symbolism, and I've never really clicked with the imagery of the Native American–based decks I've seen. This one has Celtic/Druidic/pagan/shamanic roots and its artwork calls to mind illustrations in the tradition of British children's fantasy literature—the Narnia Chronicles, Lord of the Rings, Wind in the Willows, Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series, Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain, and so on—and every card is gorgeously rendered and distinctly individual. The Wheel of the Year strongly connects the deck to the natural world as well as to astrological charts, and the "wildwood" theme beautifully symbolizes the psychology of the unconscious mind. The accompanying book is invaluable for initiating the reader into the deck's mysteries, as some of the cards aren't readily identifiable with their corresponding cards in decks with more common symbolism (even Goddess has many similarities to Ryder-Waite type decks). Some cards even have meanings that appear to be very different from other decks—for instance, the Five of Vessels is titled "Ecstasy," not at all what one usually associates with the Five of Cups! Until I recalled a line from the final i Ching hexagram, "a hidden sadness resides in the heart of true euphoria," which helped integrate the apparently disparate meanings. I've found the court cards most difficult to assimilate, as each is represented by an animal, and cultural conditioning has given us associations with, for example, the eel or the stoat that are quite different from what those animals represent in this deck—so there's a fair amount of unlearning to be done in order to fully appreciate some of the meanings here. But if you're up for that challenge, the rewards are great. Best of all, the more I work with this deck the more I appreciate its remarkable ability to answer "the question behind the question"—that is, to really get to the heart of things; if a question deals with surface matters, the deck seems to simply ignore the surface and cut right to the underlying issues. Don't expect easy answers; do expect deep ones. As others have mentioned, one could wish it had been printed on better-quality paper; and as an editor I read the book with red pen in hand to correct occasional errors, but these are small quibbles with a truly unique and wonderful deck.

Took a really long time to arrive, but when it did, it was exactly what I'd hoped. Beautiful tarot and book, in excellent condition.
