The Original Tarot Cards Deck with Guide Book for Beginners, Alternative to Rider Waite Smith

This Tarot Original deck is beautiful. The pictures are colorful and clear, and it has all 78 cards you need. The cards are strong, easy to shuffle, and feel nice in your hands. The drawings make it simple to understand the meaning of each card, even if you’re new to tarot. Perfect for beginners and also great if you’ve been reading for a while. I’m really happy with it!

Great product. The design of the cards are gorgeous and the size is perfect for my hands. So easy to shuffle and the booklet is so helpful. The words are pig enough to not be hard to read but still small and the material it’s printed on is very durable

I absolutely love this tarot deck. From the moment I opened the box, I could feel the energy behind the cards — they’re original, authentic, and truly resonated with me.The artwork is beautiful, the card stock is great quality, and the guidebook was super helpful when I first started working with them. These cards have helped me gain clarity, connect with my intuition, and reflect on things I needed to see more clearly.They definitely served their purpose in my spiritual journey, and while I don’t use them every day anymore, I still keep them close for when I need guidance or a check-in. Highly recommend this deck to anyone looking for something real and meaningful.

I really like this deck. The two extra lovers cards with same-sex couple made me smile. Very nice finish and high-quality feel.

L - US Games Centennial, R - Da Brigh OriginalI own the pocket centennial deck but wanted a full size version of the RWS deck. Decided to purchase this one because it has no copyright on the cards and has a linen finish. The colors are more muted than the standard US Games version, but more vibrant than the centennial (which is still my favorite coloring).- The vector art does take away some of the original linework, but not to a degree that I'd say detracts from the art. I also prefer the texture of the solid colors from the centennial edition, but untextured backgrounds are pretty common in most versions of the deck so it's not a big deal.- The lack of copyright on the cards is a HUGE plus and was the only reason why I didn't buy the full size centennial edition.- I LOVE the linen finish. It's really nice on the hands, but may or may not be a dealbreaker for you because it is visually noticeable (especially in the light). I personally very much prefer the tactile feeling. The finish also diffuses a bit of glare.- The cardstock is fairly thick and sturdy. It's hard to riffle shuffle with a full deck and you'll likely have to split the deck for any type of shuffling that requires flexibility. It's also not for small hands like mine, but that applies to all full-size tarot decks, haha.- The booklet is pretty hefty for a LWB. Bonus points for the full color print.Some of the negative reviews are likely outdated. The deck doesn't feel like a knockoff at all and the quality is better than some other decks I've owned.

Pros: Cards are linen cardstock, attractive beige Mandela backing, shuffles easy, enhanced colors. Overall nice deck.Cons: some divergence from the original. The backgrounds on each card are much less textural because the color has been evened it making the so is look less realistic. Also some deviation from the original Pamela Coleman Smith illustrations. For instance, the lovers card depicts two females versus the traditional depiction of Adam and Eve. Also, the linework has been modified making the figures depicted to be slightly altered from the original deck. Card box was also a negative. It is thin cardboard which flaps open from the top like a traditional deck of playing cards. Opening and closing this box will easily rip with moderate use meaning you will need to buy a card holder for your deck.

Item was packed perfectly. Came as described and promised. Love the deck. Beautiful cards. This is my first tarot card deck and eager to start learning all about it.

I bought them for a gift and the person who gave them to him liked them very much, he told me that the quality is very good and that he would recommend it a lot
