Summary: Ground-breaking New Tarot Deck!
Comment: This lovely deck is pure eye candy but it has definite nutritional substance. Visionary Joseph Ernest Martin had created a visual feast of color, astrological signs, I Ching, rune stones, rainbows, animals, Kabbala, crystals and gemstones, a yes/no feature and much more! At last---a user-friendly tarot deck that is gorgeous, as well. No wonder it was snatched up like hotcakes in its first printing!
Joseph is an award-winning graphics and fine artist with gifted psychic abilities. Perfect combo for a near perfect tarot deck. The only tarot deck coming close to it in it's appeal to me is the Voyager deck. He has made it easier for the non-Tarot reader to actually be able to read a spread.
My favorite cards are the Multiverse, and the blank card, which I understand are two new cards to be added to any deck.
The more I play with this deck, the closer I get to actually wanting to learn the art of tarot reading. It is a most useful tool for delving into one's life in a multidimensional manner.

Summary: Absolutely Gorgeous Tarot Deck
Comment: I saw this deck at a con I recently attended and was instantly attracted to it by its beauty. Joseph has put a lot of love and effort into these cards. And not only are they beautiful, they are a kind of "universal divination tool." Not only do you have the traditional cards, including the Major and Minor Arcanas, but also on the cards are either rune symbols, I Ching symbols, astrological signs, and gemstones. The cards have a number of unusual features, such as foretelling time lines and the ability to answer Yes/No questions.
There's also a short section in the book called Tarot Party Games. Can you imagine "Tarot Poker?" Hmmm makes me wonder what happens when you get a full house in your spread. Another section I liked was in the book's beginning where it discusses how to take care of your cards, a nice touch.
And of course the book describes each card of the Major and Minor Arcanas. There's also a blank card, called the Mysterious Blank Card which you can use as your Significator card or as your own "custom card." The Major Arcana also has two "zero cards," The Fool and the Multiuniverse." Very nice.
I really like how Joseph has kept with tradition in designing this set, but added a few extra touches that make this deck really stand out. I have looked at numerous Tarot decks and not felt anything, but as soon as I saw this deck, I felt an immediate and positive emotional reaction to them.

Summary: Gorgeous artwork
Comment: The artwork on this deck is just beautiful. The images are dreamlike and it's easy to fall into them. The Moon card is easily on of the most fascinating I have seen. Martin has an excellent sense of colour and drawing skills.
The deck is very usable for actual readings and meditation, though personally I don't use the hair-colour, etc. indicators much. However they are well integrated into the decorative elements of the border and easily ignored if you don't want to use them.
One caveat - The keywords are annoying and just take up space that could have been devoted to the art. The book was 296 pages and could have been twice as long. Martin was trying to give you all the info you would ever need, lol
