This is just a great deck and so much fun to work with. First of all, the packaging is wonderful. The deck and accompanying booklet come in a sturdy box--designed like those recipe boxes that used to sit on your mom's kitchen counter. The deck is structured like a traditional Tarot deck, with 22 major arcana cards with traditonal titles. The minor arcana suits are named Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles. The court card titles are Page, Knight, Queen and King. The images are collaged together from 1950's era women's magazines like Good Houskeeping, etc. Yes, there are women in pearls vacuuming! There are also women wielding swords (pictured as knives), relaxing in a hammock and giving a mischievous youngster a spanking. In a way, this is a uniquely woman's deck without being overt about it; nearly every minor arcana image except the Pages, Knights, and Kings is that of a woman, and they are pictured going about their daily business--taking care of children, cooking, arguing with children and hubby, dealing with gossip. This deck makes it easier to relate tarot images to daily life. How does does a juggler relate to today's questioner? Well, change the juggler to a housewife trying to fix dinner with a crying child and a little dog tugging at her skirts and you see half the households in this country at night! :-D All the same, I don't think it would be a good beginner's deck. Best to get this one once you've learned some of the standard meanings from a more traditonal beginner's deck. The cardstock of this deck has a very nice silky matte finish that makes it very easy to handle. It's a little larger than playing cards, but smaller than most decks, making it easy to handle. All in all, this is a fun deck that reads well. I recommend it for readers and collectors.Read full review
