Oceanic Tarot: Includes a full deck of specially commissioned tarot cards and a 64-page illustrated book

So, art first I was a tiny bit disappointed in this deck when I got it, but now I love it. I had waited for months for it to come out and the cards looked as if they were magical and beautiful when i previewed them online. I had not seen the minor arcana cards, only major. Those were gorgeous and I'm a Pisces who loves the ocean and mermaids,etc. So I was instantly drawn to them.When they arrived, first off, they came in a very sturdy, practical sized box that fits the deck and guidebook. Total bonus, hard, sturdy box, fits nicely, not too big, and beautiful pictures. The book is just as colorful as the cards, every page is beautiful.So then the cards, at first I was very disappointed when I saw the minor arcana as they were very basic and not different for each suit. After a while though, they grew on me because of the beauty of the actual symbol on the cards. The major arcana, LOVED FROM THE BEGINNING!!! Beautiful! Each one is colorful and whimsical.Next, the cards are bigger cards that were a bit difficult to hold in my shorter hands. The cards are thinner than most (and to be honest a bit flimsy) but they shuffle easy and were easy to learn to hold after breaking them in a bit. The only other complaint is the edges are slightly peeling in the corners after a few uses, not bad, but noticeable.I own many decks and books so I understand the minors without the symbolism need as in older decks, so the guide book is a must for beginners. Which I actually found for being a thinner book, it was beautiful, Colorful and contained really good basic understandings for each card. It sums up the meanings quite well I think! Which is great for beginners. It gives a basic meaning, a bit of advice and some keywords.I also love that the creator is a marine biologist (I believe) who created this deck for the life of the sea and all its beauty, all while out on the open water on a boat in the ocean. It makes me feel a bit more connected to this deck, rather than the basic many decks that are just churned out yearly by other deck creators.So at first, slightly disappointed, but I really, really LOVE THIS DECK now. It's also insanely accurate and I connected immediately with the readings and spreads i was getting and trying.All in all, It's beautiful, easy to use, easy to shuffle, has a great guide book, info on the deck and tarot meanings. Plus, heavy duty box, again, big bonus in case you don't have a wooden box, etc to site them in!I recommend this deck absolutely. Oh and they changed a few of the major arcana names such as death, etc. I think, but no big deal.Love it

Love mermaids and de colors of them.

The artwork is so incredibly beautiful! The blues, greens, and purples make you really feel like you're in the ocean when you're doing a reading. But what really makes this deck pop is the full-color guide which is chock full of information! I'm a newbie to tarot and this was my first deck and I connected with it immediately. I love mermaids and the ocean and I really feel them connecting with me when I use this deck. I love the fact that the cards are glossy. That makes the images pop. Yes for the first few shuffles they stuck together but after that they shuffled just fine. Some people complained that the author doesn't do reversals, and honestly I don't mind that at all. You can do them if you want and just look up the meanings online, but to me, the energy of this deck is positive and should stay positive. I ended up buying a different deck to do reversals with and want this one to stay light. I can't gush enough on how beautiful and amazing this deck is. I highly recommend it, especially if it's your first deck.

Very good quality. Superb box (my favorite tarot box style so far) and great card stock. The colors are just gorgeous. The art is whimsical and appeals to my inner teenager. The size is great. The booklet is really nice. I am happy with this and find it a fun set. The price is right.5.10.17I originally bought this when it was still winter. It wasn't really something I was working with and wasn't really getting into. The other day I was walking past my pool and realized it was the exact aqua in the cards. It was a really sunny day and I thought of these. I pulled them out. The energy was just spectacular. This is a deck to take to any place you are spending time by the water and in the sunshine or need that feeling in your day.8.30.17It is interesting how some decks really grow on you. This is one of my favorite decks. Some about it is just fresh and wonderful. I edited my first set and cut it down to a more easily workable deck...and then I bought a second deck to leave as is. If you are thinking about buying this set...it is worth having in your collection. The colors used are luminous and refreshing in their own right.

I don't do a lot of reviews but I had to show gratitude for this gorgeous deck! When I was learning about tarot one women said you must pick a deck that speaks to you and I love all things ocean so this definitely spoke to me! I have a traditional deck but this one will help me learn what all those cards actually mean a lot easier than the other book I have..this one even comes with a beautiful book with thorough and easy to understand interpretations of each card and the cards themselves give a lot more explanation than traditional cards. I will save these and try them right away!
