Dreams of Gaia Tarot - A Tarot for a New Era (Paperback)

Reviews

"My review" by Sinead F. - 26 January 2019

This Tarot deck truly took my breath away. It's like opening up a faerytale book and entering in through a magic portal to a wonderful world rich in imagination and magic. My readings have been potent.. be prepared to read your way through the cards pulled- the accompanying book is very substantial read with a reservoir of content for each card. It will take some time to really learn to navigate my way through the complexity of each card- it truly is a whole other dimension of magic. Genius, really. It's a soul deck for sure and so I look forward to unpacking this journey for a lifetime to come. I say there are not rules for Tarot- if this deck calls you it calls you. But to be noted for beginners- that it may not be the most simplified means to learning the basic structure of tarot.. in the claritive and familiar way that a Rider Waite deck might offer. The Dreams Of Gaia Tarot really is its own thing with bonus cards added and dynamic shifts in the different archetypes. That being said 2 of my friends with no Tarot experience are always enthralled to visit and do readings with this deck as if it were an oracle deck. On a side note Ravynne Phelan's Oracle deck The Messengers is also a phenomenal piece of magic for those interested in engaging with her work and channelling but wanting to keep their initial structure of studying clear and simple with more fundamental decks. Took a while to arrive.. Although my anticipation for this deck also contributed to making the wait feel like a long one. The book and box are gorgeous and hardy. The deck itself, though gilded beautifully in gold, leaves a bit to be desired.. It is a big deck with medium to large cards- The card stock is matt and somehow very thin and quite papery.. They don't shuffle like liquid in the way I had anticipated. It makes for the singular draw back to this deck for me.. though that disappointment does have a lasting impact. I'm not drawn to pull it out and shuffle it freely as I am with other decks. Regardless, it drops jaws whenever I share its magic with someone and will stay with me for a life time.
