Forest of Enchantment Tarot

I am blown away by the quality and the beauty of this deck. The art for each of the cards is beautiful and tells a magical story with each card. The weight and quality of the cards is lovely. They are a little slick so as to glide smoothly out from a draw, but not so slick to be slippery or actually stick to each other like some other decks’ cards. I have large hands and the size of the cards feels large to me - those with smaller hands may have challenges comfortably holding the deck. They feel great to me, though...like I need to be present to the cards as I handle them. One of the reasons why I love this deck so much is the companion book it comes with. It’s printed in 100% color, with full-page images for each card to help see the amazing details. The way the author crafts the wisdom of each card is positive without being a “positive” deck: shadows and challenges are there and presented in relatable ways. My favorite thing about the book, though, has to be its organization of minor arcana by number instead of suit. Each number starts with a generalization of what the number represents in the overall deck’s journey, and provides key phrases to sum up the essence of each suit’s take on that number. This is followed by a full-page discussion of each card, paired with its full-page illustration. This approach is deepening my understanding of deck’s progression and helps bring new insight to old cards. If you’re thinking about this one, do yourself a favor and enter this Forest of Enchantment. It’s a wonderful journey!

A green, forest-y, and fairy tale vibe in this deck, and the art is wonderful. There are people, animals, a lurking troll, a giant, and other folklore creatures to test you/help you through your trek through the forest. I've classified my Llewellyn decks by the elements. This is my fire deck; it seems to really require me to focus/concentrate with extra willpower when I use it (compared to my other decks). There are a few cards that diverge from RWS trad. meanings enough to be a bit jarring, and some have complained about the fish King of Visions (Cups). But it makes sense to me that he is a shapeshifter, completely at home in his element. However, I'm kind of creeped out by the Queen of Visions, who looks too vacant and passive as she's transforming into a mermaid. Most of the cards, though, are brilliantly done. My favorite is the 6 of Spells, showing the local folk marveling at the wyvern coming out of its shell. The facial expressions are amazing, considering the illustrator did the originals in a size very close to the size of the cards. There's also a fair amount of humor in the depictions, which adds to the deck's charm. If you're a fan of fairy tales or fantasy stuff, you won't go wrong with this deck.

I absolutely love this deck. I decided toward the end of September that I needed a new deck and I just moved to a house in the forest so I have been feeling a decidedly forest theme. I looked, not expecting to find anything, and came across this deck which was due to be released in early October. I had to wait a few weeks to purchase but am so happy that I did. This deck is gorgeous. The art is so beautiful I enjoy simply looking at the cards and noticing all the tiny little details. As a fan of The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and nerdy/fantasy/sci fi stuff in general, I feel like this deck was made for me. Not only is everything encompassed within the forest so there are plenty of wonderful animals, but there are also wizards and faeries, dwarves and so much more. I cannot thank the creators enough. As for the quality, I would say these are on the same level as other decks I have had in the past. Are they like coated like a deck of playing cards? No. But for what they are, they are perfect. I love the size, and the box they came in with the guide book is perfect for storing. I look forward to using these for a long time to come.

I ordered this before I even got through the first video review! The first thing you might notice is that the guidebook is *phenomenal*, with full page color illustrations of each card, on high quality paper. There is also a description of the card and what it indicates for you in a reading, "meaning at a glance", and "a closer look". This last is great fun, with a reference to the magical. The cards themselves are of decent quality, easy to shuffle. The backs are reversible, with lovely owls. The art is amazingly beautiful, and since the card descriptions read like a story, you feel that you're looking through a fairy tale as you leaf through the cards. I recommend for everyone who remembers fairy tales from their childhood and is interested in seeing them come to life through Tarot.

I love the whole concept of this deck. Just like the rws tarot deck symbolises a journey. So does this, but this deck is your journey through the dark forest to find out who you are and how you can cope . The artwork is reminiscent of an old Grimms fairytale book, eerie and beautiful.the cards are glossy but dont stick and their size is average so shuffling is not a problem. Probably what I like most are the unique and inspiring spreads included. Much like season of the witch they are a breath of fresh air, no Celtic cross or 3 card in sight ! Hooray! And they even have little rhymes to say whilst shuffling to focus your mind

Uno de los mazos más bellos que he visto sobre la naturaleza. Las ilustraciones son espectaculares y el libro es completo y a todo color. Viene en caja dura y las cartas no tienen caja a medida, así que tejido una bolsa.

Güzel bir deste. Fakat yaklaşık 10 kartta çizgi şeklinde baskı hatası vardı. Ayrıca bazı kartların görselleri tarot sembolizmi ile uyumsuzdu. Kart kartonu kalitesizdi. Görseller biraz bulanık basılmıştı. Bu nedenle iade ettim. Fakat sanatçının çizimleri kesinlikle harika. Bence sanatçı bu görsellerden 40-50 tanesini seçmeli. Seçtiği kartların altına uygun özel durum isimleri yazmalı. (Örneğin özgürlük, başarı, zafer, mücadele vb.) Kitapçığa ise kendi içinden gelenleri yazmalı. Bu yeni deste, kalın, kenarları yaldızlı, kaliteli, yüksek çözünürlüklü bir kart kartonu ile hazırlanmalı. Böylelikle bu müthiş sanat eseri, pek çok kişinin kütüphanesinde yer alacaktır. Sevgiler.

Quando avistei esse tarô pela primeira vez eu sabia que tê-lo seria um dos melhores investimentos que eu faria, não só pela qualidade do deck em si, mas porque ele me cativou de imediato. As ilustrações são magicamente surreais. Em meio à doçura delas há tanta força, tanta vida, que dá pra sentir o encanto de toda a floresta. Quem ama fadas, duendes, dragões, corujas, bruxas e animais silvestres vai se apaixonar. A caixa onde vem o baralho é rígida, grande, com lacre de imã interno. A qualidade das lâminas é boa, elas são lustrosas e possuem um ótimo tamanho. Um dos pontos mais magníficos, senão o mais, é que o livro guia é completamente colorido e as imagens preenchem toda a página onde aparecem, facilitando o estudo de todas as simbologias presentes. Por mais que tenhamos aqui uma reformulação do tarô tradicional é super possível compreender as cartas numa leitura. Ter experiência prévia vai ajudar bastante. O tarô mais encantado até então.

Lovely packaging box. The book is a good read.

My current favourite tarot deck! Comes with a large, glossy, full-page illustrations guide book. Great evolution of the tarot in interpretation. Card stock is very Llewellyn (extremely flexible), for those who like to riffle & bridge during shuffling. Glossy finish. Beautifully illustrated by Meraylah Allwood, borderless. Suites go by the names or boons-pentacles, Challenges- Swords, Spells-Wands, Visions - cups. Many of the major acana cards have different names also. For example: The high priestess is the wise woman, & the Tower is the folly, but easy to work out which is which. I am excited to buy the oracle deck when it is released.
