I found those reviews helpful when I was shopping. Nevertheless, I will share my own observations about the product and hopefully add another voice for the consideration of future buyers. :)WHAT I LIKED: The first thing that caught my eye with the Fairy Tale Tarot Box Set was the exquisite artwork. The richly detailed book cover "Once Upon a Time..." was as attractive as it was thought-provoking, otherworldly yet approachable at the same time. A fan of fairy tales, folklore, mythology, and archetypes, I felt an instant connection with it, and I was instantly interested in learning about the deck of cards that accompanied the book. I generally tend to like the whimsical and unusual in things, which is why the Fairy Tale Tarot appeals to me. Traditional decks, for me, often range from very dull to disturbing, depending on their given imagery. So, I was well pleased to find a creative product that paid tribute to traditional Tarot while also presenting a fresh, unique treatment of topics. To illustrate what I mean, I have uploaded some images of my Fairy Tale Tarot box set. Check out images near the topic of the product's page.The author / artist Lisa Hunt has put immense amounts of time, effort, intellect, spirit, and heart in rendering this amazing product. I appreciate the multicultural sensitivity in her choices. Honoring diversity, Hunt has definitely pulled ripe fruit from the world's best loved stories. The book and cards offer ideas and imagery from such cultures as these: English; Welsh; irish / Celtic; French; Spanish; German; Danish / Norwegian / Scandinavian; Czechoslovakian; Polish; Romanian; Serbian; Lithuanian; Italian; Russian; Indian; Chinese; Japanese; MidEast / Central Asian; Laplander; Inuit; Native American; Canadian; Brazilian; African; and Maori. You'll recognize popular fairy tales, and you'll be introduced to ones you've never encountered. Fans of Harry Potter may find some "aha" moments as they make mindful connections between traditional world tales as depicted in this set and the spin that JK Rowlings often puts on them (or elements of them) in her works.Each of the 78 cards in this deck is alive with universal ideas, metaphors, and emotions. In truth, they are mini, soulful portraits that can spark healthy contemplation for those who are open to them, to their visual and spiritual depths, stories within stories, stories that connect to other stories. In Lisa Hunt's art work, you can often catch a glimpse of faces and other designs hidden in trees, clouds, water, gnarled roots, etc. The book that accompanies the deck offers sections called "Symbols and Meaning." These sections describe what can be found in the card's image, overt and subtle, and possible interpretations. Included in the book are the fairy tales--the stories--depicted in each card, and these are given to underscore the meaning of the cards. The basic "section" plan in the book is...1) A black and white image of a card2) The title of the card, which is the title of the section about it3) A correlation to traditional Tarot card, if necessary4) The name of the Fairy Tale story represented and the cultural it is from5) Keywords about the story and the card's content for thought6) Symbols and Meaning section (length varies according to story and card explanation)Example of an opening text for a card:II * The SorceressTraditional: The High PriestessStory: The Lake MaidenCulture: WelshKeywords: Intuition / Secrets / MysteriesWHAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THE SET: I love this set, don't get me wrong. However, there were a few things that would have really made this book / card set truly stellar if these had been included. First, I would have liked some more detailed beginner "How to Conduct a Reading" and "How to Use" information that addressed the importance / significance of the various suits, specific types of layouts, and finer-pointed interpretations such as what it means when a card appears reversed or what it means (if anything) when you have a majority of one group in a spread---say three cups and a wand. Second, I think it might have been helpful to have a "Quick Reference / Index" section at the back of the book that listed the cards and their page numbers for quick locating. Without the index, the user is flipping constantly through the book until he / she becomes accustomed to the order. Third, I would have preferred that the book be hard cover with at least a few colored pages; the hard cover would have been a strong choice for repeated use, especially since there is no page index.People who are absolutely new to Tarot may have to do a bit of research to appreciate Traditional Tarot as it relates to the Fairy Tale Tarot, but discovery is part of personal journeys. The author's own comment underscores this: "My descriptions are there to help guide you as you explore the nuances of the tales but it is up to you to take these tales to where you want to go" (page 5). Of course, the user is free to imagine how best to use Fairy Tale Tarot.This book and card set may not appeal to everyone. Before purchasing, read other reviews and look at images so that you know what to expect from this product.SIDE NOTE: Oddly enough, we've found that the Running Press' Miniature Tarot with Tarot Nova--a tiny book and card set--makes a fun, entertaining, and often helpful companion set to the Fairy Tale Tarot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid, beautiful deck. *by T***E on December 11, 2009* The premise of this deck is innovative. Welcome to the world of imagination, childhood and magic. The creator has done an amazing job of bringing to life these stories and making their more subtle meanings accessible. It is undoubtedly one of the most creative, beautiful, inventive twists on the Tarot I've seen, and has quickly become one of my favorite decks.Many of the tales that are employed to interpret the Tarot will be familiar to you--Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, ect. Some of them will be new, and, in addition to enriching your readings, will add to your repertoire of bedtime stories for children!My only criticism is that the creator has a tendency to stray so far from the traditional meanings of the Tarot that it can be hard to recognize any resemblance to a more universally-based deck. The creator has clearly put an enormous amount of energy into these cards, but she expects you to put a great deal of energy into learning them. Fluent readers be warned: this is not a deck you can just pick up and read. Relying heavily on a conventional understanding of basic meanings will not be sufficient if you want your quarent to really be able to visually connect the meaning with the art. To me, the best part of the Tarot as a divination system is its unique and immediate aid in visualization, but if you lean on standard interpretation of the Tarot, its connection to the art may be lost on your client (and perhaps even you). If you intend to use these in a professional setting, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the fairy tales and how they connect to their traditional meanings.Paradoxically, and especially if you take the time understand the creator's intentions, these cards can actually be EASIER for your client to immediately connect with, because like you, he or she will be familiar with many of the stories depicted.All in all, it is more than worth the effort. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/88120048-the-fairy-tale-tarot-cards-box-set-september-8-2009](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/88120048-the-fairy-tale-tarot-cards-box-set-september-8-2009) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
