Elemental Power Tarot: Includes a full deck of 78 cards and a 64-page illustrated book

I've always wanted this deck despite the many reviews spread around the Internet about the so-called "terrible" Minor Arcana. I understand that not everyone wants to work with each and every deck, however, it is clearly mentioned that this specific deck is based on elements and perhaps those who want to or already work with them wouldn't find it that "terrible". The deck comes with depictions of alchemical, astrological and Hebrew symbols. The Major Arcana cards contain apothecary items (one depicted on each card) one can work with. Yes, the Major Arcana is a true piece of art in itself, but I personally do not find the Minor Arcana terrible at all. Think about the tarot de Marseilles; the suits show no human figures - with the exception of the court cards, and it also comes with much different interpretations than the later classic RWS and the decks based on it. I'm not trying to make comparisons here by any means. I'm just giving an example of how some decks may indeed come with few or no human figures and with regards to the Elemental Power tarot, one should expect no human figures at all. I've also noticed that many people find it hard to work with the court cards, but in my view, it's only the Kings and Queens one has to familiarise oneself with. I personally find it a marvellous deck and I believe I'm not the only one. Working with a deck is after all a matter of whether you (wish to) resonate with its energy or not. If you treat it as a foreign object invading your space, then you won't be willing to work with it. Feel your deck, welcome it to your home and personal space, do some cleansing ritual. The tarot is a chameleon and one has but to let and teach oneself how to see.

I could sit here and complain about the horrible cardstock, but I'm not going to. This is a cheap and cheerful deck so you can't expect it to be top quality; I'm not gonna cut a star for that. Yes, the cards are thin, but I actually love this deck. I started reading normal playing cards before moving to tarot, so I have a natural love for pip decks. I've heard some people say this deck's pip cards are hard to read because they aren't titled, but they really aren't that difficult. 1-10 are numbered so it's only the court cards you need to familiarize yourself with. Not particularly hard in my opinion; half hour's work at most! The booklet is full colour and though it appears to be very thin at first, provides a surprisingly good amount of information on each card. Even the card backs have a really cool design that isn't overpowering. But where this deck really shines is it's Major Arcana! They are absolutely beautiful and invite the reader to transport themselves into the scene, taking on the roles that are normally filled by pre-existing characters. Obviously, if you don't like pip decks, this one is not for you, but personally I love it, and absolutely recommend it.

My deck came misprinted and I was given a full refund. The deck itself was otherwise really nice but pip minors... Would make a lovely majors only

Beautiful Tarot Cards for yourself or as a gift. Very High Quality and easy to use with clear instructions. Highly recommend.

Following Melinda on Instagram with her easy going and all can do tarot reading approval I have looked forward to get hands of her own deck for a while. Good quality of the cards and the information of in book comes with a little twist so you get something new if you already have other decks with guidebooks like The Wild Unknown.

Like how pack came neat & tidy in a box easy to carry & take away with you. Cards itself who knows how true they are!!!!

These are beautiful BUT they are not as advertised. In the images used to sell this product, there are words on every card - basics little prompt for what the cards mean - and the cards I’ve been sent only have the Major Arcana names. Disappointed.

Fab deck.. puts the Seeker (you) at the centre of the reading by allowing you space to enter each card.

I wasn't sure there would ever be a deck that reflects the way I see the tarot. This one does, almost exactly. That being said, there are a few things to mention. THE MAJORS ARE BEAUTIFUL and would be a fantastic journaling, meditation, or pathworking tool. THIS IS A PIP DECK, and I feel it's a great pip deck. If you have been wanting to learn pips, but find the Tarot de Marseille or other historical decks a bit intimidating, this might work well for you. The meanings of the numbered minors are driven by the number + suit/elemental energy. THE COURTS TAKE A BIT OF PRACTICE. If you are already familiar with the elemental associations, the process will be easier for you. I had them down in ten minutes. The elemental associations are key for the courts. I feel the guidebook does an an adequate job of guiding the distinctions. THE CARDSTOCK IS GREAT FOR SIDE SHUFFLING. I'm a side shuffler. Then only decks I ever riffle shuffle are playing cards. I side shuffle all of my other divination decks and these cards are great for that. THE CARDS ARE A BIT LARGE. This is the only thing I'm not totally down with. On the one hand, the size really makes the artwork, the majors especially, pop. On the other, my hands are small. I intend on trimming these cards up a bit. Overall, I'm completely in love with this deck. There are a few walkthroughs on YouTube if you would like to see it in its entirety.

Es un tarot muy bello, diferente, y al no tener personajes y eso puede complicar un poco la Interpretación del principiante, un tarot para superar los propios límites, ojalá le mejoren la calidad a las cartas, porque es realmente bello

Si è vero, potrei parlare del cartoncino troppo sottile, ma non lo farò!Si è vero potrei parlare del fatto che gli arcani minori siano solo rappresentazione dei semi ma non lo farò! Parlerò piuttosto della creatività dietro gli arcani maggiori, intepretazioni tra le più geniali ed eleganti che abbia visto,(e anche tra gli arcani minori...interessanti le figure di corte, ad esempio il cavaliere di coppe, elemento acqua con il fuoco sottostante), parlerò del libricino di accompagno, piccolo vero, ma interessante nella descrizione di ciascuna carta, con delle indicazioni anche sulle sfide che quella carta può presentare!Mi piace molto l'impostazione data a questo mazzo e sono soddisfattissima dell'acquisto o!

Truly blessed to have dealt these cards as my first deck as I feel much at ease (although it's a difficult (what I perceive to be but really isn't) road ), I am truly blessed the author and the illustrator drew me into tarot through their works and our guides helped this come true for me. I will continue to use this deck as it rings very true for me as it has done for many others. Thank you Melinda.

The smell of these cards is literally like strong, wet newspaper. I have been airing them out for days now and still waiting. Nice images, paper thin card stock. Like newspaper!
