I have had this deck for about a year! I also got the altar cloth that goes with it. I absolutely love this deck. The images are very simple; the artistry is great. I use this for the deck I use for my readings because I prefer more flamboyant art to depict the meaning when reading others. The meaning book is great and breaks everything down for you from the astrological signs to the crystals and everything in between. It breaks down the elements and suits in the beginning of the book as well and how they come into play when doing a reading. Added perk- the back of each card is a crystal grid! I have small hands so it is kind of hard to shuffle and they stick together pretty bad. Have fun reading, buy this deck you will NOT regret it.
