Practical Tarot Wisdom Deck Cards by Arwen Lynch

, 2 May 2021

UUS Games Systems produces my favorite paper decks. They understand better than any other card-making house that cards need specific thickness, texture, flexibility and coating for the cards to shuffle well. Shuffling, if good, can be a very enjoyable experience, but also the basis of a good tarot reading and a way to favor cards flying off the deck to let us something that is intuitively charged. Said differently, shuffling is one of the basis of intuition.
 
 The Radiant Rider-Waiter Tarot Deck, which is the basis of this deck, is bright, colorful and feels fresh. The left of the card reproduces the card image, and the right hand side is in blank and has the card meaning.

GOOD 
> Card paper quality is awesome. Right thickness, texture, and coating, which make shuffling easy, natural and extremely pleasurable.
> Excellent printing quality.
> Bright vibrant colours and beautiful lettering.
> The card back is really pretty despite its simplicity and  prevent us from guessing whether the card will pop up upright or reverse.
 > No guidebook is needed as the the meaning is on the card front.
> Beautiful sturdy packing box.
> Totally portable.
>  Great for small hands, but it can also be used at ease by people with average hand size.
> Perfect for beginners as the meaning is on the card and there are many questions and points for the use to ponder.  Some are straightforward, like the text with The Fool. But others, are just something more personal to the author. 
NOT SO GOOD
 > The interpretations given to each card not always resonate with me.  I agree with other reviewers that it would have been  better if the author had given take-away keywords for both upright and reverse instead of proper interpretations.  
> Pricey for what it is. A pocket Radiant Raider-Waite in a tin is less expensive and will get you the same results.
