Chrysalis Tarot: Frontier Tennessee during the Cherokee Wars

I love this tarot deck. I have been working a lot with this deck and I am absolutely loving my experience with this deck. Chrysalis means transformation and I just love the whole concept of this deck. This deck is so cute in its own way and right on the money. The little white book is not your typical little white book but a rather chunky one so you get quite a lot of description about the cards. However, Toney Brooks who wrote the little white book is also currently working on an extended companion book for the Chrysalis Tarot, so I that will be quite helpful when working with this deck. The cards are a little just by a tad bigger on the size. U.S. Games Systems who is the published of this deck always surprises me with their improving quality of card stock. The card stock on this deck is excellent! very thick and so easy to shuffle. There is a bit of a change with this deck so you will find the archetypes presented in this deck is a little different. Here is how - The Fool – Merlin The Magician – Ravens The High Priestess – Sorceress The Empress – Gaia The Emperor – Green Man The Hierophant – Divine Child The Lovers – The Lovers The Chariot – Herne the Hunter Justice – Ma-at The Hermit – Storyteller The Wheel of Fortune – Wheel Strength – Papa Legba The Hanged Man – Celtic Owl Death – Ariadne Temperance – Golden Flower The Devil – Bella Rosa The Tower – Kali The Star – Elpi The Moon – Moon The Sun – Sun Judgment – Phoenix The World – Psyche So by this I hope you get a sense that this is not your average Rider Waite clone deck but rather quite a unique in itself.

I am writing the review purely to say that the deck was listed as New but the product I received was a used one. This review is mainly for the seller for listing it incorrectly. The stars given here is for the seller not the deck The deck is beautiful and speaks to me. I don't have an issue with it being a used Deck. My problem is for being misguided. The listing should have said "used" and then it would be my decision to purchase it or not. This just feels wrong

I can't say enough good things about this deck. I have been collecting decks since 1976 & am a professional reader. I'm also an artist so I am very well aware of how much work goes into creating a tarot deck (that is why I have yet to create one & have stuck to the smaller Lenormand decks). The artwork of Holly Sierra is so lovely. When I first received the deck I kept looking through the images. I caught myself drooling several times. My normal thing is to immediately shuffle & ask "how will you & I get along" & pull cards. I didn't do that with this deck. It took me a week to do an actual reading with it. I was too busy examining the artwork over & over again. The detail is amazing, colors are so vibrant that they jump off the card, & on a black reading cloth the images pop with incredibly vibrancy and detail. Being a traditionalist I am not crazy about the renaming of most of the major arcana cards, new names for the 4 suits & also all new names for the court cards that vary from suit to suit. Based on the deviation from RWS tradition regarding the titles of the cards I would NOT recommend this deck for beginners. If you're a collector or a seasoned reader, then by all means do yourselves a favor & treat yourself to this deck. I plan on purchasing a second copy so I can keep it in pristine condition for the time when this deck goes OOP. I may even by a third copy and I have only purchased multiple copies of ONE other deck in my collection of over 200. That says a lot for the Chrysalis Tarot.

Tuck box hard to open added ribbon to help with opening box, usual lwb, card stock average, backing picture beautiful and bright love that, front pictures blend in well with boarders, overall easy to shuffle fits in hand nicely

Dieses Tarotdeck habe ich sorgfältig ausgesucht und es hat meine Erwartungen erfüllt. Die Zeichnungen sind wunderschön. Die Zuordnung der Elemente und Bezeichnungen der Figuren haben mich angenehm überrascht, sie lassen mich noch einmal neu entdecken,wie viele Facetten möglich sind. Für experimentelle Charaktere wie mich, die auch schon Erfahrungen mit anderen Tarotkarten haben, lohnt sich das. Was mich freut, ist, dass auch die kleineren Zahlenkarten sehr oft Personen und Tiere auf den Bildern haben. Das ist so viel spannender als nur drei vier fünf Schwerter - die hier ohnehin in Schriftrollen umgewandelt sind, was im geistigen Luftelement durchaus Sinn macht. Ach ja - hier ist alles auf englisch, ich weiss nicht ob es das Deck auch mit deutschen Titeln gibt. Durchgehend sind in die Karten alle Motive mit keltischen Schmuckbändern eingearbeitet, auch wenn mystische Archetypen aus allen Kulturen vorkommen. Das war für mich der große Pluspunkt: Die Offenheit. Alle vier Elemente sind mit zarter Farbigkeit voneinander zu unterscheiden. Zu mir sprechen sie.
