Gilded Tarot Royale (Gilded Tarot Royale, 1) Cards – April 8, 2020

I'm sooo happy the publishers have made this deck available in the mini size!! The deck, in any size, is one of Marchetti's best!! I had the pleasure of speaking with him many years ago as we were both forced to miss the tarot convention in Oregon that year. His mom was ill & hospitalized in Europe and I myself was also too sick to go. But Mr Marchetti and I had emailed and I'd chosen to purchase some artwork from him. He's a complete professional as he remembered me wanting a painting of the High Priestess from this very deck & thanks to his kind, caring ways, the High Priestess now hangs on my bedroom wall!! I'd always wanted a copy of The Tarot Royale but could never afford or find a 1st edition. I'm very pleased with this edition and the mini size cards fit my tiny hands perfectly!! This deck doesn't come with a Companion book so I'll be purchasing the standard size set asap! Another of Marchetti's sets that I adore and which can be purchased on Amazon, is Legacy of the Divine Tarot! It was my first-ever Tarot set along with a Morgan-Greer deck. I guess the original RWS images just don't resonate with me as well as I like. No matter which of Ciro's decks or sets you purchase, you won't be disappointed. Many label his work as Steampunk in genre but Ciro Marchetti himself dubbed his style of artwork as "Retro Tech" long before "Steampunk" became popular. Many prolific readings to all...!! 😉

Small, portable, and finally got the card worn enough so I can do my habitual overhand shuffle.When the cards come fresh out of the box it smells heavily of ink and is likely to stick close together because it's new.I've been keeping the deck in a crochet pouch wrapped by a bandana I use as a reading cloth and over time and with fresh washes of the bandana, the ink and cardboard smell is starting to fade.

They are great for traveling. They are the quarter size of a deck of playing cards. No problems but just tiny. Instead of mini it should say tiny deck. Mini I thought was the size of playing cards. Compared to the normal size deck of cards.

Love the normal size cards, and these mini's are so cute, which is why I bought them. Great for traveling.

They are the perfect size to keep in the car. They are so beautiful I might have to buy the full size set. I'm starting to understand the whole, having more than one deck thing.......

Flimsy tuck box. Stick together but are slippery in a weird way.

Super fast shipment, well packaged, as described, highly recommended A+

I love the small size of these tarot cards! They are very pretty and easy to shuffle! They will work out great when I travel!
