About the author
Barbara Moore
185 books141 followersThe tarot has been a part of my personal and professional life for nearly twenty years. I first discovered the Tarot in college. Right from the start, the tarot intrigued me with its marvelous blending of mythology, psychology, art, history mystery, and magic.
My education in the tarot has been and continues to be broad and enlightening. I am grateful to have been blessed with the opportunity to study under renowned tarot scholars Mary K. Greer and Rachel Pollack. I have also had the privilege to share the wonders of the tarot with all manner of wide-eyed, would-be tarot readers.
I enjoy giving a voice to tarot cards by writing the books that accompany decks. I have had the good fortune to write books and booklets for several decks, including A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot (Llewellyn, July 2007), The Gilded Tarot Companion (Llewellyn, September 2004), The Enchanted Oracle (Llewellyn, September 2008), The Mystic Dreamer Tarot (Llewellyn, September 2008), and Shadowscapes Tarot (Llewellyn, May 2010). Recently, I finished writing a new edition of Tarot for Beginners (Llewellyn, November 2010).
My articles on the tarot have appeared in several tarot publications and in Llewellyn's New Worlds of Mind and Spirit.
Over the years, I have been very active in the tarot community. I am a founding member of the Minnesota Area Tarot Symposium and have spoken at tarot conferences around the United States. In July of 2010, I had the pleasure of attending the Tarot Association of the British Isles (TABI) Annual Conference as keynote speaker.
In addition to teaching tarot classes and providing personal readings, I currently work as a consultant for tarot publishers Llewellyn Worldwide and Lo Scarabeo. I also contribute bi-weekly posts to Llewellyn's Tarot Pathways blog. I am very excited to be working on designing several forthcoming tarot decks as well as another book for tarot newbies on spread design.

You cab see this review with sample images on my blog.
I've been trying to decide what attracts me so much about these cards, and I think I've got it. Almost all of them feel like windows into a real world. I have a lot of decks that I love and love working with, but the images in them feel static, a moment in time. Most of the images in this deck feel like we're taking a peek into a world that exists before and after the moment depicted on the card.
Ok, let's do this in order.
The deck comes in Llwellyn's standard box, a large, sturdy cardboard with a magnetic closure on the right hand side. It's about the size of a standard paperback. The book of words is the same size as the box and is well bound. The cards are standard tarot size and sit in a well in the box. The box protects them really well, but is probably too big to carry around easily.
The book starts with a basic intro to tarot and the deck, then gives some tips for reading, including cheat sheets. I loved cheat sheets as a beginner, and as an intermediate I still love them. I think they're a fantastic help.
The book then moves into the cards themselves, starting with the Majors. Each takes two pages; a full page image of the card in colour, and a page of meanings, with keywords for upright and reversed, a meaning and some advice. The meanings are clear and simple.
The Minors, uniquely in my experience, are arranged by number rather than by suit. Each Minor card has the full page image, keywords upright and reversed, a quick reminder of the suit and number meaning and then the specific meaning for the card. There's also a page for each number group discussing what that number means. I really enjoyed this, as I haven't delved into the numerology of tarot yet. This feels like a lovely, low stress way to start learning about it.
The Courts are also arranged by number. The layouts are the same, except that the reversed keywords have vanished. Everything else is still here though.
Chapter Six has some spreads to try. Chapter Seven talks about the specific inspirations behind some of the cards, which is really interesting to look at! It's helped me to make a deeper connection to the cards.
I have found that, after a few weeks of using it, the cover has pulled away from the pages at the front, but it's still perfectly useable and I could stick it back together if it really bothered me.
The cards themselves;
They're standard tarot size, glossy and shuffle easily without catching or stuttering. The images are borderless and feature a small golden bar at the bottom with the name of the card. The Majors include the card number in Roman numerals. The back features a dragon curled around a sword hilt with a blade made of crystal. It's not reversible.
The images are absolutely amazing, bright, bold and true to life (Yes, even the ones featuring dragons!) The people look like actual people. The suits don't have themes, as some decks have.
I love this deck. I've found it eager to help and clear to read. It's definitely one that I often reach for. It's probably close enough to a basic RWS that it could be a first deck, especially if the reader is into fantasy - I've really enjoyed noting all the little nods to different series and universes, and I'm sure I'm missing plenty! This is a deck that's right near the top of my list and I look forward to using it for a long time to come.

Love, love, love this deck. It’s bright, beautiful, and easy to read. It’s playful and approachable without being too soft. I highly recommend it for those new to tarot and anyone who loves fantasy as this deck pulls from many different modern fantasy series. More advanced readers will appreciate the depth in the cards. Barbra’s writing shines in the guidebook. This deck is all about nurturing intuition and discovering your own power.

There is something about this deck that excites me. Originally found at a store in St. George, but I talked myself out of purchasing it. Later, I got on amazon.
The box is big, so I got a different storage box to keep them in. The guidebook is awesome, and it really breaks down numbers, suits, and meanings in an easy to digest way.

Quick impressions: A good deck and book set for beginners. It may be a good choice for fans of the fantasy genre, especially if they like wizards and other magic users.

Lovely updated version of a classic

Barbara Moore actually uses these decks and studies their unique qualities before writing these guides. That's nice.

Non la migliore delle opere della Moore, ma comunque gradevole.
