When we hear the words “once upon a time” we are magically transported to a faraway land of enchantment, a timeless realm of wondrous fantasies and infinite possibilities. Presenting mystical tales from around the world, Fairy Tale Tarot invites you to embrace the universal wisdom shared by enduring characters and timeless archetypes. Their struggles, successes and growth mirror our own experiences and teach us profound life lessons. When we see ourselves in the cards, we establish a greater awareness of ourselves. Includes 78 cards and 156-page illustrated guidebook. Review: Great deck for reading. - What I like about them: - Substantial card stock with smooth surface but not overly slick. - Easy to shuffle and hold size. - Beautiful artwork. - Fairy tale theme. The pictures represent folk tales from many cultures, some of which I admit I'm not familiar with. This leads me to two points. A) I want to explore those folk tales now. B) The images are still archetypal enough to read without having to know the background. - The artist/author chose tales that align very well with the traditional Rider-Waite imagery. - I found it an excellent and intuitive deck for reading. Some decks are for appreciating but not reading. This one has value for actual use. What I didn't like: - Nothing. It's fantastic! Review: Work of art - Soo interesting deck. Absolutely breathtaking. The art here is spectacular. Very thought provoking and unexpectedly clear reader. Thanks to it's art and fairytale associations it's very nuanced and complex, maybe you could use it as oracle or in a other preferred intuitive way.

Work of art
Soo interesting deck. Absolutely breathtaking. The art here is spectacular. Very thought provoking and unexpectedly clear reader. Thanks to it's art and fairytale associations it's very nuanced and complex, maybe you could use it as oracle or in a other preferred intuitive way.

PSA: this is deck only, no guidebook.
The original edition of this deck had a book that contained the actual text of each fairy tale. This book is still available through an app published by The Fool's Dog. And it really is necessary—unless you are going to reconstruct the whole guidebook yourself using clues from the LWB. Or maybe you already know all of these tales from world folklore. If you try to Google the stories or look at a website that tries to catalog the entire ATU, you run into the problem of multiple versions; and there's nothing in the LWB for this deck to indicate which version the author was vibing on. The original guidebook is the artist's retelling, anyway. I use this deck for a one-card draw alongside my RWS 3-card spread. Then I open the ipad app to read the story. I've been a fairy tale enthusiast for about five years, and I could tell some version of all my favorite Grimm's tales by heart. But the moment I step out of that corpus, it is a very steep drop down into ignorance. I have a few scattered favorites from anthology books, Jungian sources, etc, and I have bookmarked websites to help track down tales. But with all of that, This deck was largely opaque to me without the Fool's Dog app.

Beautiful deck!
As soon as I saw this deck was being reprinted I immediately put it on preorder and I’m so excited to finally have it. The artwork is beautiful and it’s easy to shuffle. If you’re into fantasy art in tarot then get this deck and you won’t be disappointed.

Where's the expanded guidebook?
Happy that this deck was republished. Only two things I would have liked is, larger cards for better view of details and that it would have included the original large guidebook in the first publication. Other than that, it's a great fairy tale tarot. I do believe the creator and or publisher is considering releasing the large guidebook as a separate purchase, I hate that, so I guess that's three things, having to spend more money to get the full experience of the deck.

Love the artwork but card stock not so much
The cards are bent which makes me instantly not like them. I love the artwork and would have normally liked this deck quite a bit. I am also not a fan of the cards having different names. I understand why some creators like to do that, but it only adds confusion to me when I try to use them. Artwork is a 5- but card stock and name changes made this a two-star deck.

Disegni molto belli
Mazzo di tarocchi basato sui RWS con disegni di assoluta bellezza ispirati alle favole di tutto il mondo (anche le meno note o quasi sconosciute). Il libretto che accompagna questo mazzo è completamente scritto in inglese e non ha le figure delle carte ma solo il numero (negli arcani maggiori), il nome della carta e della favola alla quale si ispira. È essenzialmente un mazzo da collezione perché, personalmente, si ha difficoltà nel "leggere" il loro significato tarologico. A me non hanno trasmesso quell'appeal immediato nel vedere una stesa. È necessario fare un abbinamento mentale ai tarocchi originali anche perché nei maggiori i nomi sono spesso differenti. Questo non toglie nulla alla bellezza dei disegni e al loro simbolismo che, probabilmente, sarà maggiore nell'uso continuo. Per ora le lascio nella mia vetrinetta in attesa di essere da loro chiamato all'utilizzo.

Uma obra-prima visual
Estou encantada com o Fairy Tale Tarot. A qualidade material é excelente, com uma caixa rígida muito resistente e cartas com impressão de alta qualidade que fazem jus às ilustrações lindíssimas e detalhadas da Lisa Hunt. O ponto forte, além da beleza, é a correlação entre os contos escolhidos e o significado de cada carta, tudo foi pensado de forma muito profunda e bem fundamentada, respeitando a jornada arquetípica do Tarot. Minha única ressalva é que o livro que acompanha o deck poderia ser um pouco mais denso, trazendo uma contextualização histórica e narrativa maior de cada conto. No entanto, isso não tira o brilho do produto, já que os títulos e referências fornecidos tornam muito fácil pesquisar as histórias por conta própria. Recomendo fortemente!
