Crystal Visions Tarot Cards – October 25, 2011

I think that the Crystal Vision Tarot would make a nice beginner's deck for anyone wishing to learn tarot. When I first opened the package and looked through the pictures I did not care for the images very much. But as I have begun to work with them I have found an affection for them and in only a couple of days I have 2 suits almost memorized by looking at the images. What I mean by that is I look at the picture and ask myself what is it saying to me and then I look at the book and see if I caught the meaning of the card. The sky plays a huge role in helping to discern the meanings.The six of swords for example has a woman with long flowing hair facing toward the horizon so that the only thing you can see is her back. She has 6 swords to the side and behind her. There are birds flying in the direction of the path that she is looking toward. The sky though mostly stormy looking is lit as it looks like the clouds are parting and sunlight can be seen. This represents someone who has decided to leave something behind for the journey ahead. To leave something behind perhaps someone or something that person loved or cared for is not easy but rather sad and difficult to do. However with firm resolve the decision has been made to let it go. Now it's time to look ahead, gather courage and start taking steps toward the future. What lays ahead not only looks promising but it sure to hold hope of a better tomorrow.And in my added interpretation when I look at this picture is I see a storm that has passed and the hard part is over. Following through with a decision sometimes is the toughest part. You know like an exercise routine getting your butt to the gym is more then half the battle, lol. So I see it as decisive action taken to move on from an issue even though it was not easy to do. This new direction is the right path and one that will lead to happiness, perhaps a better self esteem or new love. One thing for sure options are wide open.This deck has really grown on me and as others have stated the images really do tell a story that will help you intuitively read the meaning of each card. I am really happy with my purchase and would recommend to others especially beginners who are just learning tarot.

Love this deck! I like all kinds of tarot decks and I absolutely love this one. At first I thought this wasn't my style the images were a little bit "innocent" to what I am usually drawn too. However I kept going back and viewing the cards on google images and checking out you tube reviews. I couldn't explain why but I was drawn to this deck. I like how each suit is coordinated with a season and color scheme. The swords for example has some cards as scenes with snow and is Winter. The pentacles appear more as Jewels than coins. All of the cards are beautiful most decks I have favorites and the rest I can do without I love every single card in the deck. Also I have "test" cards I look at the Fool, Magician, Death and Devil cards if I don't like them I usually don't get it. The Fool shows a girl surrounded by butterflies and a ribbon wrapped around her about to step of a cliff. The Magician is one of my favorites he has wings and appears to me as Raphael the Archangel. The Death card is beautiful a grim reaper type in black stands over a girl lying on a rock ready to transform into light and has a Latin saying inscribed on it I won't spoil it for you what it says. The Devil card shows a "pan" like figure playing pipes in a forest setting with a "Eve" like figure laying near the tree. Is she tempting him? She has a beguiling "come hither" look on her face and a smile as though hiding a secret or does he have her under his spell entranced by music and magic? All of the Ace cards for each suit are breathtaking. The cards have crystals on them and butterflies, birds, dragons, horses or unicorns and other animals. The deck is dreamlike fantasy and gives a very feminine graceful gentle vibe. Yet it is straightforward and truthful with guidance. It has a "unknown" card which I like to use in readings and also when it appears I use the back of the card which has a picture of a crystal ball I stare into it and use it as a tool for meditation. Most decks I use for spiritual guidance this one is like a friend I ask everything of. I am planning on getting a unicorn oracle deck to go along with this for enhanced readings.
