Tarot of Traditions Deck

This deck has stunning bold colors and is gorgeous to look at. The symbols and art style of the cards are traditional and easy to read. I suggest this for any level of understanding and using Tarot. Highly recommend.

Absolutely my favorite tarot deck in years. As the name implies, this is a VERY traditional take on the Rider Waite Smith deck but it has many fascinating and subtle surprises as well. The deck has all the hallmarks we have come to expect from Guiliano Costa so expect clouds, hidden faces, birds and bricks! It's all very Italian looking and stunningly vibrant and colorful. The back of the cards have a traditional rose and lily pattern that is gorgeous and very striking. The deck shuffles very well, fits comfortably in the hand and is a perfect traditional tarot size. I can't find fault with a single thing in this deck so BRAVO to Mr. Costa and to Lo Scarabeo for unleashing this magnificent deck on the world. I love it.

I grabbed this deck when I saw one of my favorite tarot teachers using it on her yt channel, and it did not disappoint. The colors are so rich and vibrant, and the artwork is gorgeous. Even the backs are beautiful! The quality of the cardstock and printing is also great. I just wish it came in a sturdier box rather than a standard "playing card" type box. Regardless, I've had some lovely readings with it, and it's definitely one of my favorites.

The media could not be loaded. I was looking forward to receiving this tarot deck. Online, it looks beautiful and captivating. Upon receipt of delivery, it came well-packaged, plastic wrapped. Unfortunately, from there, I was disappointed. There’s a strong odor from the plastic and/or the booklet, couldn’t tell. The booklet is in two different languages and therefore very brief explanation of each card. The quality of the cards is very thin. I read many reviews about cards being thin and not really noticing it too much with my other decks. This deck is quite noticeable. For the price, the card thickness could be more thick, and the quality of the art could be better. From Online, I thought the art quality of the cards was going to be much higher.

I absolutely love this deck. The card stock is great, I am a riffle shuffler, it’s perfect. These cards don’t bend out of shape and they don’t chip around the edges. The cards are Beautiful, clear & colorful. This deck is my #1 deck I love working with. I wouldn’t change a thing…Also, having carpal tunnel in my hands and wrist with this card stock helps not putting so much pressure in order to shuffle, that includes the size of the deck.Thank you to the creators of this deck!!

After reading reviews for the Tarot of Traditions deck, I almost passed on buying it because the consensus seemed to be that the quality of the card stock was poor. But the artwork looked so inviting and beautiful that I took a chance. While the card stock is thinner than that of most of the decks in my collection of 30+ decks, it's all relative and very subjective. The cards are a smidge smaller than the standard tarot size and have a smooth glossy finish. That makes them easy to shuffle overhand - they slide over each other without being too slippery. They do flex a little when you only have a couple cards in your hand, but unless you shuffle really roughly, they should hold up well. The box is also a lightweight cardboard tuck box, and the "little white book" is basic (but includes different languages).As for the artwork, it is striking! The images are easily identifiable as Rider Waite Smith but are more detailed and have a depth to them that makes you feel like you could step into the scene. The colors are rich and saturated. Most of the images feature thick puffy clouds in the background, some with hidden faces. I wonder if they're supposed to mean something...I guess that's up to the reader. The wand cards are funny - they all feature very prominent leaves!This deck could have been exceptional - thicker card stock, a heavier box, and a more detailed booklet with specific information about the artist and these particular cards. It's a deck I'll enjoy owning but will treat carefully so as not to damage the "delicate" cards.

I love the size and cardstock, but the artwork really makes it come to life.

The colors are vibrant. The images have some unique symbolism. The cardstock is thin but is very resilient. They are a joy to shuffle. Recommended cards.
