Forest of Enchantment Tarot

After having these cards a month or so I have decided to edit it from 4 stars to 5. Even though I feel the card need to be a little bigger and a bit thicker they still deserve 5 stars. Ok so I feel a bit torn given this 4 stars. I kind of deserves 5 stars but a few things that are important to me effects this. First the negative. The cards as others say are just TOO thin. I have had several tarot decks and this is the first time I can't really relax shuffling them. they bend if you are not careful and I can tell that within a short time they could get a bit damaged. It takes some of the joy of shuffling them away. These are not the cheapest cards so they could have used a bit better quality card and also made them a bit bigger. Even though I did not want to knock a Star off I felt I needed too. Ok, I love these cards! I feel happy looking at them and I do believe within a short time I will really bond with them. I have always felt connect to nature and the fairy tale side of these cards sings to me. There is something about the White Hart' The Fool' card that speaks to me . It almost feels a bit alive. I can see my intuition will have a big part with these cards and already I sense different meanings compared to traditional ones. The book that comes with this deck is beautiful. There is just something about this deck that I sense will be good for me even if I have had it for only a few days. i would gladly buy these again if they made them better card stock and also increased the size of the card again. i would also hate to put anyone off buying these with my negative comment as I am glad I bought them. I am just a bit concerned how poor the card stock is.

I don't even use tarot, I'm an oracle card person, but in all honestly who could resist these amazingly delightful cards, full of magical enchantment and excitement. They're everything they promise to be and more. The images speak to me on a deeper level, the guide book in full colour is wonderfully informative. The images call me in deeper. They focus on folklore and myth from British culture, I am a big follower of welsh folklore and old Briton so these cards and their images are familiar to me. I feel like I know them. The way the cards are depicted feels like home. I love how the people look and how they're dressed, I love the landscape, the trees, the colours, the energy, the stories, the fantasy of it all is just like slipping back in time to a world I remember. The box is beautiful and looks stunning on a desk or would even look lush out in a room. The box is rather large so I was surprised about that, but it allows for the guide book to be a decent size. My only gripe would be the card stock isn't great. They're a bit flimsy and bendy. I prefer thicker card stock, but that's not enough to take a star off the review. The cards themselves are full of mystery,magic and portals to otherworlds. Delve into the wonderful, magical world of the forest and see where the path takes you.

Absolutely gorgeous deck! The cards can create such beautiful, inspiring narratives. The images are complex and the attention to detail exquisite! It comes in quite a big box, these are slightly bigger than usual cards. Beautiful, one of my favourite decks, with such rich meaning from European folk fairytales and forest folklore and each card explanations is like a mini story. LOVE IT!

From the moment I laid eyes on this deck online I knew I had to have it. After waiting a while for it to be released in the UK, I was not disappointed when I got my hands on it. The level of thought and work that has gone in to it is absolutely outstanding. From the book to the artwork and the beautiful words to accompany each card. Meraylahs artwork is completely breathtaking and transports me to another realm. It encompasses what I perceive to be the magical realm, full of mystery and magic. I love the many references to european folklore and fairytales. The finer details make this deck so special and a true joy to own (for example, ratty and mole from the wind in the willows in the six of visions card makes me smile every time). I can get lost in the artwork alone and I have had some fantastic pathworking sessions with the deck. Lunaea Weatherstones writing is just as enchanting and leaves room for your own intuition whilst weaving beautiful stories to go with each image. The guide is fun to read and gives a close-up view of each card. The deck itself brings me a lot of joy and comfort to look at and I have had some extremely helpful readings during some difficult times. I am fairly new to tarot but I have no desire to try another deck as this is my go-to and I see myself enjoying and treasuring it for life. Using it is like sitting down with an old friend, I only wish I could truly step inside the deck! (Meditation with this particular deck is excellent and as close as I can get, however...). The renaming of some of the cards is very fitting and makes perfect sense. The card stock is very thin and whilst this does not bother me in terms of how the deck shuffles, I am scared that damage will start to appear on the cards. I try to be careful with them but I wish they were a tad thicker to really do the artwork justice. The artwork and writing is not super fluffy like some decks either, they did a great job of capturing both light and dark. A true pleasure to own and valuable tool to use. I highly recommend to those who love fairytales, forests, folklore and magic.

There is no doubt this deck is stunning, the art is just beautiful and takes you out of the world for a little while. Sadly though, the thinner cards do let it down a bit. The book is beautiful but mine arrived bent at the corner despite being a sealed book 🙄 the inside cardboard that holds the cards in place is so rough looking and it's not something I'd expect in a deck I'd paid £24 for, it's not very expensive but I don't expect a brand new item to look used. The outer box also has a tear at the corner 😔 I could send it back but that's more hassle than it's worth, so I'll make it work. The gorgeous art is the saving grace. Llewellyn please do better quality control and cardstock 🙏 these rich artworks deserve better representation.

Love them, gorgeous artwork!!

Amazing deck. Love it !!

Having waited such a long time for this deck, I am disappointed, sad and torn in writing this review. I would give the artwork, book and box 5 stars, but as for the main event - the cards - just 3 stars. Too thin, too dark and too small. I feel for the authors. I have written to Llewellyn as I would love them to produce a better quality deck to do justice to the stunning artwork. This is what I said. "Dear Llewellyn, I have just received this tarot deck via Amazon.co.uk after a very long wait. As a long standing tarot student and reader who collects cards, I am compelled to write to you as I am so disappointed by your publishing quality. Several reviewers have already noted the same. The artwork is stunning, but has been let down terribly. a) The small card size makes it difficult to see the image b) The image itself is dark and grainy c) The quality of the card is far too thin for shuffling safely. The cards will get damaged too easily. The book and box are superb, but the main content i.e. the deck, is of such a poor standard. I would love, and pay for, a decent version of this deck, so please consider reprinting to a usable standard that tarot readers expect from established publishers such as yourselves. It would be such a shame to waste the beautiful artwork and the fresh take on the tarot suits. I would not bother writing to you if I did not value this deck." If anyone else feels as strongly as I do, please let the publishers know, maybe they will listen and give us a deck worthy of the lovely artwork. UPDATE: I have decided to give 5 stars as I do love the artwork and feel it is unfair on the authors to downgrade because the printing does not suit.

I am blown away by the quality and the beauty of this deck. The art for each of the cards is beautiful and tells a magical story with each card. The weight and quality of the cards is lovely. They are a little slick so as to glide smoothly out from a draw, but not so slick to be slippery or actually stick to each other like some other decks’ cards. I have large hands and the size of the cards feels large to me - those with smaller hands may have challenges comfortably holding the deck. They feel great to me, though...like I need to be present to the cards as I handle them. One of the reasons why I love this deck so much is the companion book it comes with. It’s printed in 100% color, with full-page images for each card to help see the amazing details. The way the author crafts the wisdom of each card is positive without being a “positive” deck: shadows and challenges are there and presented in relatable ways. My favorite thing about the book, though, has to be its organization of minor arcana by number instead of suit. Each number starts with a generalization of what the number represents in the overall deck’s journey, and provides key phrases to sum up the essence of each suit’s take on that number. This is followed by a full-page discussion of each card, paired with its full-page illustration. This approach is deepening my understanding of deck’s progression and helps bring new insight to old cards. If you’re thinking about this one, do yourself a favor and enter this Forest of Enchantment. It’s a wonderful journey!

Uno de los mazos más bellos que he visto sobre la naturaleza. Las ilustraciones son espectaculares y el libro es completo y a todo color. Viene en caja dura y las cartas no tienen caja a medida, así que tejido una bolsa.

Questo mazzo si caratterizza per la confezione molto curata (scatola di cartone con magnete interno invisibile di chiusura, alloggiamento interno in cartoncino in tinta verde pastello come 'culla' per le carte e una linguetta di raso per sollevarle, libretto di istruzioni molto ricco, patinato e completamente a colori ), le illustrazioni dettagliatissime e la splendida gamma cromatica. Gli amanti del verde, degli animali e delle creature magiche dei boschi probabilmente lo ameranno molto. A livello di significati e interpretazione fornisce un approccio alternativo e complementare a quello RWS classico, cambiando i nomi degli Arcani Maggiori e anche il genere delle figure alcune carte e rinominando i semi anche per gli Arcani Minori; il tutto rimuovendo i riferimenti religiosi e di corte cristianeggianti in favore del mistico e del magico della Natura e del 'pagano' . Forse per chi volesse usarlo per divinazione, al di là di uno sforzo di adattamento e memorizzazione delle corrispondenze, le carte hanno un tipo di patinatura che potrebbe renderle quasi 'scivolose' al tocco e quando si mescolano. Ma come carte da collezione sia il mazzo sia il libretto risultano eccellenti e piacevoli da sfogliare :) , tra i migliori per qualità prezzo specialmente se trovati in promo e sotto i 25 euro. --- Consegna e spedizione ottime, sia le carte all'nterno sia la bella (e voluminosa) scatola contenitore sono arrivate incellophanate e senza un difetto.

me gusto mucho un mazo de tarot muy hermoso, me llego a tiempo y en buen estado.

Det här dom vackraste och mjukaste skogsväsen och sagovärldar, jag någonsin tidigare upplevt 🎁 Den har även en väldigt bra bok tillsammans, med alla bilderna. Den förklarar sammanhanget, på ett helt annat sätt. Ett man förstår bättre och älskar, lite extra 🦋👑🩷🕯️
