Summary: Good for spiritual, terrible for divination.
Review: As beautiful and attractive as these cards are, they just don't work well for me. I think the colors are the biggest problem here. I hate watercolors since they're not bright enough, and I don't think the color usage is appopriate for certain cards. For example, The Magician a.k.a Merlin should be wearing red, white, and gold/yellow, but instead Merlin is wearing blue/violet which I think is better suited on The High Priestess or The Moon. That is just my preference. The pictures don't speak to me because nothing is very eye-popping. Each card looks too similar. However, they work pretty well when I ask questions on a much more spiritual and personal level. Yet I find these cards a little difficult to understand when I'm trying to do readings for others. These cards are definitely not for beginners, you need to already have knowledge of the Tarot. Terrible for divination (you're still better off with Rider Waite), but great for anything personal and spiritual. Amazing for the psychological insight of yourself and others if your expierenced.

Summary: Worth every cent and more.
Review: I bought this deck as my first, when I was 14. Eight years and seven decks later, I still hold it close to my heart. The cards have so much emotion and symbolism in them, you can't help but get an idea of what each card means. The watercolors are amazing, in my opinion. Some people didn't like the skin color, I guess it depends on preference. The deck also comes with the most gorgeous layout sheet I've seen thus far. Purple sheet with a great tree and sleeping dragons, symbolic of Pendragon. The book is really awesome in that each card is fully described and comes with a pertaining Arthurian story. Ferguson takes information from all of the sources on Arthurian legend to give you a clearer and unbiased view of who these characters were. For those who have a zest for Arthurian legend, definitely go for this deck. If you love Mists of Avalon, you'll love this. Only thing that bugs me is that the cards chip pretty fast. Then again, cards chip fast with me in general.

Summary: Beautiful, Dramtic, Inspiring!
Review: I have been reading Tarot for 19 years. During those years I have used many decks but all achieve the same result - divination, suggestions for bettering our lives, defining our goals and ultimately defining our place in this cosmos. I have been using the Robin Wood Deck (also found at Amazon.com). This deck really is perfect for me but I wanted more of a challenge in interpreting the Minor Arcana. I studied the Arthurian cards and found a "je ne sais quoi" when I tried to read them. Something called to me from the depths of the depictions on the cards, it was an almost physical sensation that drew me to them.The cards are studded with legend regarding Arthur, his knights and their battles. I switched to this deck recently and am currently studying them in depth. New readers will be overcome by their beauty, practiced readers will find not only charm but symbolism that will spark new and creative thoughts for them. The book "Keeper of the Wor! ds" is not only a book which meticulously explains the symbolism of each card but a story book as well. I would bring the book to bed with me at night; and then, curled in my nice big bed I would read about the deeds, dreams, visions and ultimately the everlasting legend that this time period brings to us. I can honestly recommend this book to everyone. Enjoy and be prepared to be fascinated!

Summary: My 1st Deck and it is perfect for me.
Review: I have to start by saying this is my first attempt at learning the Tarot and I have had 100% success so far. From a young age I felt connected emotionally with the legends of King Arthur and have read and studied the legends for a decade. When I saw there was a Tarot deck dedicated to the legends I had to own it whether it was helpful as a tool or not. But as I have learned the cards speak to me and often I am able to read them accurately without the help of the book, just by looking at the symbolism in the cards and with my knowledge of the legends. I have given about 10 readings, all of which (that have met their resolution) have so-far been proven accurate. I do not feel that I am a great reader..but the cards really seem to bring it out in me. Picking a deck I feel is a very personal thing and not all decks will work for everyone. You definitely get out of it what you put into it and this deck really works for me.

Summary: A good deck only if you like the legends of king Arthur.
Review: I'm reading tarot for well over a year, and own a large number of decks, and this deck is one of my *least* favourite. The main reason is that I have no special interest in the legends of king Arthur, so as good as the book is, having to study the legends and characters by heart is a burden for me. The other reason is that I think superimposing the legends and characters on the cards *limits* their meanings. I'll give two examples : - The Wheel of Forune card shows Arthur on the wheel, specically on it's top. The text in the book and the picture limit it's meaning to that of luck and fortune with a tilt to good fortune. Though this is an important aspect of the card, it misses the message of finding one's center in the turmoil of life. - The Magician card features Merlin. Though this is the natural way to picture this card in the deck, I think it misses the 'low' aspect of the card (the one of the trickster). The art is beutiful, though I think it's somewhat dark and colourless.

Summary: The only deck I ever burned
Review: If you're interested in starting out in tarot, this is a great set to get you underway. I had bought a few decks in the past, but could never really get started reading with them. Most just didn't call out to me. Then I bought this deck, and haven't looked back since. The artwork on the cards is expressive and gorgeous. Plus, besides the interpretation of each card, you are treated to a brief rendition of the myth associated with that card. I found this to be an exceptional aid in my initial work with the cards. If you're someone who can't quite tune in with the symbolism of Rider-Waite decks, this is a great buy. If you're also captivated by the Arthurian legends and middle ages, then this is A MUST HAVE!

Summary: truely spectaclar deck, best I have seen
Review: In the 5 years I have been reading Terot cards, I have seen many different decks, but this is leaps and bounds ahead of all I have seen. The Artwork is so intricately detailed, and the subjects chosen for each card match so well with the meanings of the cards that reading this deck is easy enough for a begining reader, and detailed enough for those who are more practiced at the art. The accompanying book gives such wonderful background information on the Arthurian legends that I often read it just for the stories it contains. If you have even the slightest interest in terot reading or the myths of King Arthur, I say buy this deck. You won't be disapointed.
