Paulina Tarot

I've been using this deck for about a month now and absolutely love it! It is richly illustrated with a heady dose of whimsy but without being childish. There are a lot of little details on the cards and much of it is easy to miss if you don't concentrate on them for a while, however I found it stays true enough to the RWS system (without being a clone) that it is still easy to get the overall meaning of the card without having to squint for clues. After a few days of spending time with the cards I did the interview spread to get to know it better and wow, what a reading, I liked it at first, and now it is love! Don't let the whimsical art fool you, this deck has depth while still being warm and inviting. The nature of the artwork also makes the deck suitable for children and young people, which is great because I have two nosy kids that like poking around in cupboards.I was looking for a new deck for a while, checking reviews and looking at walkthroughs on YouTube and I am so glad I settled on this deck. I have seen a number of decks where the artist has stunningly captured the Majors but then seems to phone it in for the pips. Not so with the Paulina, each and every card is a beautiful work of art in and of itself.Long story short: if you don't like busy decks with lots of fine detail, Paulina probably won't be for you, however if you have the time and inclination to go for a leisurely stroll through the images, you will have a wonderful journey with many moments of beauty, humour, joy and poignancy.

I am amazed at the artistry of that deck of tarot cards. Very well made, I see no issues using it. It's not too thick, nor too thin in terms of the material used. The size is perfect for small hands - I would call it travel size deck. Item came on time, packed securely. Good quality. I recommend.

Bought this several years ago and use it every day to draw a card for myself. I've tried many other tarot decks, but this is the one that resonates with me. The illustrations are unusual, and a far cry from more traditional decks, but full of insight with the many tiny details to be found in each card.

I saw all of these cards on-line before I bought them. I see many cards that I want but these I really had to have after seeing the art work which really appealed to me. Sometimes you can like the art but they fail to speak to you. When I received these cards, in a way I was disappointed - they appeared darker and less vibrant than I had thought. The images are also in many ways quite different to my regularly used cards (cosmic - very different but equally loved). I also found it difficult to fully see the image when it was laid in a spread - there is much detail drawn in the cards, so I found myself having to pick them up and peer at them. However, over time and use they have become wonderfully familiar and I still am growing with them. I find the cards have a great deal of charm and a wealth of knowledge to release. There are cards to fall in love with - for me some are; The Queen of Wands and the Empress (they both seem self-affirming and vibrant images), as well as the 6 of cups, 10 of cups and many others. There is a nice use of symbolism, there are little rabbits and cats as well as unexpected "creatures". The symbols are very carefully chosen and always make sense. The little white book is the best I have seen to accompany a deck and while it does not tell you everything, there is plenty to go on. Any symbols noticed that are not referred to can be looked up. Often a card can be drawn and attention will just hone in on a snail or other little detail, that before went unnoticed but is particularly relevant for the reading. There is plenty of information to cover all kinds of readings and they can deliver harsher messages in a kinder way.These cards enabled me to foretell who was going to be the next UK Prime Minister, during the tense time that no one had a clue about - they provided extremely accurate information. I drew 3 cards for each. The last for Cameron was the 6 of wands (triumph - walking away with the prize!). Poor old Mr Brown got the Tower (sudden change, upheaval). As the results unfolded it was rather exciting for me! Another more flippant event the cards foretold was who was going to win the role of Dorothy in the TV show "Over the Rainbow". There was only one possible winner who received the Sun card and I was able to place the other two accurately in order of 2nd and 3rd. I usually use my cards for myself only, to gain insight into situations and rarely to see what may happen. My daughter who has limited time for tarot has been drawn in by the Paulina tarot and uses them sometimes and is beginning to build up a good understanding of them by doing so. I do recommend these cards. They are beautiful to work with and very intuitive. Somehow now I know the cards the difficulties I had seeing some of the images clearly seem to have gone - the images are in-tune with me. Standard meanings do apply to them too, so most how to read tarot books along with the LWB will be plenty to enable you to get wonderful readings with your cards .

Paulina Cassidy has done a great job with this tarot deck. You'll find new things in each card every time you view it, due to it being packed with various illustrations...must've taken her ages to do!The artwork is very whimsical and interesting. It is painted beautifully and as an artist myself working on the King's journey tarot deck, i have to say, the art work in each card appealed to me. I believe the artworks are watercolour paintings and the print quality really brings out the fine, delicate line work in each painting, adding to the reason why you would want this deck. It is very finely detailed with all manner of images. If you won't take my word for it, do some research online!James

This is by far my favourite deck. The images are beautiful and well thought-out, and the deck so easy to connect with.The imagery in places has a lot of small details which aren't conducive to a quick-reading atmosphere (without reaching for the booklet), but it is lovely to take your time to ponder over each card and the details within, and if you have the time to take it really is well worth it.I thoroughly recommend this deck.

I bought the Paulina Tarot hoping to find a useful workable deck of Tarot cards. I love the pictorials but find the pictures too subtle and ethereal to use everyday. The pictures are delightful but not best for a working Tarot deck for me.

This deck is lovely, whimsical and full of delightful details. But at the same time it doesn't ignore the tougher subjects in life, its not all sugary sweet. I love the artwork and symbolism.
