MY NEW FAVORITE DECK!!!!
I almost didn't purchase this deck because I read some bad reviews here on Amazon about the quality of the cards. One person wrote that the corners weren't cut properly, another wrote that the deck contained duplicates, and still one more said that there were cards missing. Well, I don't know what happened there, but the deck I received couldn't be more perfect. I couldn't upload photos tonight to show you, but I'll try to edit this review later and possibly add some pics. It truly is a remarkable and completely perfect deck of tarot cards. The artwork is beautiful and the meanings of each cards true to origin. I resonated with the cards immediately and I've now moved the deck to the front of my stack because it's quickly grown to be a go-to favorite. I couldn't be happier. I can only assume whatever the problem was in the past has been fixed, so I recommend not paying attention to the old negative reviews. Buy the deck if it appeals to you. If it doesn't arrive as expected, you can always return it. As for me, I love mine and am keeping it! :)

So many decks....
So few I find fit with me. My taste is very aeclectic. I definitely don't box myself in with a certain art style, although I do prefer RWS based decks. The major thing that kills my ability to enjoy a deck is inconsistency. And wow,there is so much of that in so many decks. You get a few amazing cards and then...what the heck is this?? Or its quite obvious some cards were rushed to finish and the art quality just took a dive on them. As as for computer generated art, how can the artist do some amazing images only to have a handful of the cards so out of proportion?! Giant head and little legs. How could they not notice? If I like the theme or the premise of the deck, consistency is key. That all the cards look like they belong in said deck. None so out there as to be startling. And this deck has that, beautifully. Yes, there are some images I prefer over others, but all cards belong. The last deck I purchased that had consistency like this was The Hidden Realm. So, I love this deck! My one disappointment is the card stock. Too easily dented. But it is, thankfully, mass market so I will just get a back up or two and not worry about it. It's is a borderless beauty with a misty quality and beautiful images. Definitely in my top ten and I have been reading and buying tarot for over thirty years. It just hit me recently what brings a deck into my line up of often reached for one's. All of my favorites are consistent. RWS, Morgan Greer, Bohemian Gothic, The Cosmic, Hidden Realm, Tarot of the Old Path, Dame Daddy's Mermaid, Wild Unknown, Victoria Regina and now, The Thelema.

Stunningly beautiful and complete deck -- mine had no faulty corners, no faulty printing no faulty laminating.
This deck is astoundingly beautiful! Just about every card looks like a piece of art. The court cards, while still beautiful, are a bit stilted -- but that's sort of how they come across in the Rider Waite deck as well.It's just pure joy to look at each of these cards. They are not completely true to the Rider Wait symbolism but they are astoundingly beautiful and like with any deck if you study it enough and really learn how to relate to the deck your readings should be fine. But for me right now, I'm still learning the basics of reading -- so I'm sticking with the Rider Waite until I GET IT.I guess for me, they are SO stunningly beautiful, I'm kind of distracted from the stories that the deck might tell me. This might subside with time and practice. Where you might be like "oh yeah." vs "oh wow! this is so luscious and beautiful!"I hope to get some photos for y'all to see. If not, google videos about the Thelema deck and you'll get to see each of the cards in various video reviews. But in case someone was on the fence wanting to get these -- get them! My deck has no issues with any of the corners. The cutting, color, and lamination are all lovely. I have yet to shuffle them though. But the deck that I bought from Twin Lens Media was and is perfect -- no flaws in the cardstock, printing, or cutting. You'll know best if you want to make this just an "art deck" or if you want to make this a "working deck".Thank you Lo Scarabeo, for an amazingly beautiful and magical looking deck! I was initially worried b/c I had found like 4 duplicate cards but I still got a complete and lovely set. So -- as long as I wasn't short changed -- I welcome the spares.

Beautiful cards!! if you collect, this should be one of the decks in your collection
Hi, after reading all the mixed reviews I was somewhat reluctant to order this deck. Some say the cards are too thin, they're this, they're that...but after going to[...] and reading about the cards on their site, I decided to order them. I got them today. They are gorgeous cards! They are all beautiful. I am totally drawn to them. They come in a very hefty, glossy box that has a top that pulls off, rather than flaps like many cards do. No need for a tarot bag with this deck, in my opinion. They stick with the Rider-Waite theme but are a whole lot prettier! They have a "glow" to them. And as far as the complaints about them being too thin, I don't know exactly what people mean, because I own quite a few Tarot decks and they are the same as my other decks (with the exception of the Illuminati Tarot, which are pretty thick, and the Vertigo Tarot, which are pulled apart off a single thin sheet- and you can see the edges, just like the edges of children's valentine's day cards that you have to pull apart). So. After having really examined these cards, they are all intact, no extras or missing cards, this is really a nice deck.

Beautiful artwork and good little book.
I'm just getting into tarot properly just now, have the original Rider Waite Smith deck which is brilliant for learning from and they will always be my originals, but I saw a video of these on YouTube and immediately liked them and felt like I needed to get them. From what I can see with my beginners experience of reading the cards, they do match quite closely to the original RWS designs albeit there are some small differences, but they are more modern and for me bring it all much more to life, to make the scenarios on the cards seem much more like reality. I love the symbolism which the artist put on the cards, and the pictures just have something beautiful and magical about them. You get a small book with the deck, which I'm surprised to say is really good because it describes all the small symbols on each card which mean something which you might miss otherwise, and the short descriptions given for each card are really good. I've seen reviews about the quality of the cards being not the best. I can't see any issues with that so far, however they're still brand new just now, so I will reserve my judgement on that for now, but otherwise I love them and am looking forward to working with them. The artist who designed these did an amazing job.
