Summary: Review
Comment: Elizabeth Gill is my mother. Writing under her maiden name, Gill, she is actually Elizabeth Gray. My mother is the most intelligent, wise person that I have ever met. She has been the soul source of inspiration to me, throughout my life. To aspire to reflect some of her qualities would be a noble task.
My mother has taught me countless lessons in life. Her thoughts are profound, yes she doesn't claim to know all the answers, and rarely rates her own opinion. She is humourous and warm, yet sparklingly intelligent.
My mother wrote the tarot while I was a young child. I vaguely remember her doing so. I have learnt a lot from my mother, and I have a lot more to learn from her work. She has drawn from many sources, when writing her work. She has a poignant understanding of humanity, she heavily draws on Jungian Psychology, and Platonic archetypes.
What I am illiterately attempting to say is that this book, coming from such a wise and fine mind is condensed genius for me, personally. I wouldnt like to guess at what an audience will think of it, it's hard to be ambiguous on this particular subject, but read it, if you will... and maybe you can feel what kind of woman she is.

Summary: Gill Tarot - simple, but complex.
Comment: As a frequent Tarot reader for young people, I find myself having to give the meanings for cards to the participants over and over again. But that stopped just as soon as I discovered the Gill Tarot. I've worn out two decks of Gill Tarot cards, and am now on my third deck.
The pictures of both the Major and Minor Arcana are very beautiful and colorful. The backs contain a Tree of Life and the symbols for it. A great deal of the symbolism that inspired these cards comes directly from classical religious literature.
The Major Arcana are enough like the standard Rider/Waite Tarot to be understandable to even a novice, but have enough symbolism to enchant the most dedicated readers. But it is the Minor Arana that stopped most of my questions from younger subjects. All of the Minor Arcana have a single word written on them to provide a basic meaning for that card. Although some may find this limiting, simple readings do not have to be an in depth look at the soul - just answers to simple questions. And the same level of symbolism is on all of the Minor Arcana - so if you want to "wing it" you can.
The 24 page booklet gives you the basics of those cards as well as a sample layout - and it's not a Celtic Cross either! It's a simplified "Tree of Life" layout that can add a great deal of richness and depth to a standard reading.
I find myself being drawn back to this deck over and over again from the ones I own. If you haven't seen it, it has one of my higher recommendations.

Summary: The Gill Tarot Deck
Comment: I have owned this Deck and used it for over 4 years. This is the most beautiful and awesome deck I have ever used or seen. Everyone I have done a reading for with this deck is so impressed by it's beauty. I actually ordered this deck as a gift for my Daughter in Law! She had never been exposed to TAROT and this really made an impression on her and her husband. If you want a deck that has beautiful artwork, is nontradtional and is easy to read, this is THE DECK for you!!! Enjoy the gifts of Tarot that the Gill Deck can bring to you!
