I got this set a while ago now, and I'm updating my review based on some of what I've seen in the deluge of new decks coming out from vendors all over the world, in hundreds of new designs. Many years ago, all we had was the old rider deck, with the cartoonish drawings and very simplistic coloration in bright reds and yellows, but this is beautiful, as to the artwork, and you can hardly spot the use of AI. There are three noticeable uses, where it's what I'd call super-obvious, but they're also very interesting, when you contemplate the meaning ascribed to the cards, and I ended up feeling like the use of AI actually improved those three cards, because the disjointed images in those cards actually made me think about my own life (and isn't that point of using tarot for journaling, contemplation, meditation, or self-guided therapy). When I first got this set, I gave it three-stars, because every card had scrapes or dings where there were actual gouges in the cards. One had a giant streak of a gouge into the card over a person's face while others have them in other places. Then, beyond all that, there were a couple of cards with printing errors where there was a white dot surrounded by printer's ink in a sort of mound, where the white was the blank page and the ink was rising up around it. Naturally, I was irritated by this, so I got a replacement set as quickly as possible. But I found so many defective cards in the new set that I ended up having to hand-pick the least-defective from each of two sets in order to craft what I'd call a four-star set (as to how many flawed cards remain). After cherry-picking the best cards, I have four with gouges and around ten with printing errors. That truly irritates me, to this day. And yet.... While they need better printers for these, after spending a year with this deck (along with many others), I'm upgrading my review to a full five-stars, because the art in this deck is leagues ahead of so many decks out there today. True, the book is perfunctory, so you'll need a better book to use with this if you want it to be much fun, but the cards themselves have lovely imagery. And the stained-glass design has a startling impact, in that, when using this four journaling or contemplation, the little boxes/shapes of different colors found throughout each image actually have a fascinating impact on the brain, causing my mind to focus on different areas of the cards on different days. For example, I can pick a random card and sit and think about what the image guides me toward in my current life circumstances, try to meditate on the ideas that come into my mind, and even journal for a few minutes to try to center myself before returning to the nitty-gritty of getting through the day, and this deck always inspires me enough to actually be able to come up with something useful. But, beyond this (since I have at least ten Llewellyn decks that can achieve the same thing), I can pick the same card every few days, intentionally picking the same card once every few days to look at it and think about it, and my mood pulls me to different colors and different sections of the image because they used a stained-glass style that separates out all the little elements of the image and essentially boxes them away from each other. My brain can't help but see these larger-than-average dividing-lines around and inside objects and people and plants, such that I end up seeing something different in the same card, even a mere three days after having looked at the card last. And that doesn't happen with most sets. The stained-glass styling actually allows for the mind to be randomly pulled to different parts of the image, instead of perceiving the image only as a whole. I see the whole image, but then many smaller images, and that allows my mind to be drawn to different areas of each image, which allows me to more freely associate my own life issues with the image itself. That makes this a wonderful deck for contemplation and journaling and self-guided therapy. I hope they get a better printer, since they need one for these, but I'm really happy with the long-term utility of this deck. It's become one of my favorites over the last year. I give this an A+ and Five-Stars, and I highly recommend this one, even though there are better quality decks out there. For image-quality, for inspirational-value of the images themselves, and for being useful in many different sittings and journaling-sessions, this gets Five-Stars purely for the quality of the images on the cards, and the three clearly-AI-images are among my favorites, because they always make me think more, not less.

This deck was delivered early today. Clearly AI, some deviations from Rider Waite, but I decided I will look at the unexpected design elements a challenge to view them from a stained glass mindset. What is broken and imperfect may be beautiful, luminous and thought-provoking in a reading. I think these thicker cards will soften and resonate better with each additional use. The concept creates a romantic, medieval vibe, but some of them are reminiscent of anime. Just like connecting past, present through the prism of broken glass. I found the toes on the image on the Four of Pentacles to be hilarious. Over all I think there was much love put into the project including the brilliant blue foil edges. I don’t mind the no drama, straightforward information on the booklet. The summary is more than enough for seasoned readers. I would recommend these. I think they are worth the lower price compared to other decks.

These are very beautiful cards. I was so surprised on the quality. I think I will buy another set to save. One of my most favorite purchases.

Cards arrived safe in package but inside the cellophane a card was damaged and almost all were stuck together Beautiful but have imperfections. Will be requesting a new deck. My finger runs over the imperfection and ruins the feel of the cards. Update: recieved replacement and they are not damaged. They came stuck together, but not as bad as the first time. I really like that it comes with the booklet that give the upright and reverse meanings to each card. They are very pretty but they have a couple cons. They are quite larger than my other two decks which makes shuffling a bit difficult. They are AI created so some have imperfections in the imaging but overall can overlook that. All in all good purchase.

I’m giving this 5 starts because it’s pretty good quality and the cards are very nice but there’s a good chance you might not get this exact same set. It’s sold as a blue metallic edges with the same type of theme on the cards and I got like a metallic yellow/gold ish color. They’re pretty but not what I ordered

Very obviously made with AI art that looks good at a glance but is almost nonsensical when you inspect it closely, with melting hands, lacking symbolism, bizarre poses, and inconsistent stylings. The card backs are particularly bad with asymmetric patterns that smudge and melt into each other. For some specific examples, the five of wands features anywhere between three and six things that could be interpreted as wands depending on how generous you are with the things floating in the general vicinity of the mess that is intended to be the two characters' hands (one of whom has three hands). These six of swords features six swords, but they don't match the art style of the picture at all and have clearly been photoshopped in (and is also clearly the same sword copied and pasted six times). The nine of sword contains the same sword copied nine more times in front of an unrelated image. Hands are twisted and misshaped on every image they appear in, even when they feature prominently such as in the ace of wands where a hand holds aloft wand... with additional fingers appearing further down the wand out of nowhere. The instructional guidebook was probably written the same way, with many misspellings. Overall a terrible tarot deck to get if you care about the symbolism at all, or even just quality art. Low quality slop.

I gotta admit. I was nervous to buy this deck. Im not a fan of AI, i find it sloppy and the reviews seemed to reflect. But they kept calling me. Ive been eyeing them for nigh on a year. I wanted a stained glass tarot deck and the sparkly holographic edge was the cherry topper. Even the back is beautiful. They arrived. And i started looking thru. I am thrilled to see the creator edited the cards with the bad AI issues some reviewers depicted (showing them in mine) This impresses me coz at least they cared about the feedback enough to rectify mistakes. This is a stunningly gorgeous deck with great smooth card stock and i hope the blue holo edge holds up coz i love it. It really elevates the deck. It's earned my stars and a spot on my shelf. Def gonna be a fave!
