Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot has been named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.
Ik ben al verliefd op dit deck sinds 1989. Alhoewel ik mij niet altijd helemaal lekker voel bij de satanistische reputatie van Aleister Crowley, vind ik geen ander deck dat de rijkdom van de kennis en de schoonheid van deze kaarten evenaart. Ik raakte mijn groot spel en het kleiner spel met de 3 Magiërs jammer genoeg kwijt, zodat ik mij nu getrakteerd heb op dit gloednieuw spel van het grootste formaat.
Plus, snelle en verzorgde levering, vriendelijke opvolging door de verkoper.
The images are incredible, the cardstock is very nice and the readings for me are very spot on.
