Spiritsong Tarot

Such a pretty deck! I love the positivity throughout :)

Beautiful

The artwork is beautiful, and I love how it has the descriptions on the bottom of the deck.

I have to admit, this deck EXCEEDED my expectations. I expected soft and beautiful watercolor/ink images of animals, but the deck is so beautifully executed, printed (the colors are soft, but still very vibrant), and clever that I am just blown away.It's based on RW, but reimagined with the characteristics (both physical and symbolically, drawn from many traditions) of animals. It's definitely a positive and gentle deck- there are definitions for card reversals, but the way the deck is designed is that an animal appears in a reading to guide you through whatever you are facing, good or bad.The cards are on lovely sturdy cardstock, mostly matte, and are a little hard to shuffle at first but break in pretty quickly. The printing is beautiful- I especially love that the background and border for each image is slightly different- some cards are ecru, some a pale blue, some a very very pale green, some off white, etc. I love the look it gives the cards. The cards also feature two keywords on the bottom- normally I'm not a fan of that because I read intuitively, but since this deck is a slightly different take on traditional tarot and tarot imagery, I find the keywords useful.The little white book is 105 pages and nicely bound with full-color covers. It features definitions for each of the cards, reverse message, plus keywords for both the card and reverse. It's a *little* too sweet for me (every animal used its positive attributes to guide you and assist you) but I think if you combine it with a basic level of tarot card meanings, you can do some great readings with it.If you are new to tarot and are a little put off by things like the "death" card and "devil" card- this deck doesn't have them. It's a completely gentle deck, and I would recommend it for kids, if they are asking for a deck of their own.I can't recommend this deck enough- originally I purchased it because it looked pretty and I don't have any animal-based decks in my collection (not a fan of photo-realism or cartoon imagery) but it's really exceeded my expectations and I'm so excited to learn how to read with it. I mainly use tarot and oracle decks as a tool for meditation and insight (I'm Buddhist and usually align the meanings of the cards with key themes in Buddhist philosophy and practice- so I use the cards to "quiz" myself on my Buddhist practice as well as get some insight into looking at things from a different perspective) and I know I'll be reaching for this deck often- nothing but positive energy.I can't recommend this deck enough.

I bought this deck to have a "non RWS" image deck to use in a Tarot class I'm taking. The instructor, Susannah Conway, recommended this deck as being very gentle and sweet if anyone was feeling a little tentative about Tarot. I love the soft rainbow palette of the artwork and the drawings themselves. The messages are unfailingly uplifting and gentle (not in a toxic positivity kind of way, just emphasizing ways to grow, move forward, face challenges, etc.). I love how the creator has incorporated animals from all over the world and what those animals symbolize in their native cultures. Love, love, love this deck - always get such a warm, encouraging reading when I use it.

I love everything about these cards! The art, the card stock, everything!! I've used them quite a bit and love the feeling I get when I use them! There is Love embued into them. Absolutely beautiful!

I have about six different tarot decks, and this one is my favorite to use for most readings. The are is is just gorgeous, and the meanings and energies the cards give off is wonderful. This is a great deck to use for clients who maybe don't have experience tarot, as the cards that are typically seen as evil (death, the devil) are replaced with different names that share the original meanings of those cards. They won't scare anyone away. The cards are a bit larger than your typical tarot cards. Somewhere in between large oracle cards and tarot. They are a very sturdy card stock and shuffle very nicely. The finish is very nice, it's not completely glossy, but not completely dull. It's a nice in between that is nice to work with.I am in love with this deck, I could hold them and do readings with them all day. The artwork on the back is very nice as well. Everything about this deck is just perfect. It's great for beginners in my opinion as, even though the original suits have different names, there are keywords on each card to give the reader an idea about what the card is about.I did not expect the book that came with the deck to be as amazing as it was. It fit perfectly inside the card box, and is bound just like a regular sized book with a beautiful, sturdy cover. The contents of the book give basic information about the deck, and some very helpful card interpretations (with reversed meanings as well) and lots of keywords. The back of the book has a few different spreads you can try out as well.The box the cards and book came in is really good quality. It's very sturdy and beautiful, perfect for storing and travelling with your cards. I absolutely recommend this deck! Especially if you're a beginner. It's a beautiful deck, with a very helpful booklet, and a great box to hold it all together in.

The deck itself is beautiful. The only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 was that the price was on the box and could not be taken off. I had to remove the shrink wrap and then cross out the price with a pen.
