Review Summary: A better read with the Thoth
Review: I recently purchased this deck to try my hand at a more in=depth reading. the images seems to just jump off the page and the cards all connect together. This is one of the best things I have done for myself.

Review Summary: Belgium deck not that bad!
Review: This is an awesome deck! The artwork is stunning and the symbolism is everywhere. There are several reviews that say the the deck printed in belgium is just horrible and not worth the effort it takes to rub two pennies together, but this is just not true. I have a friend that also has a deck and when I compared them there was a difference, but it wasn't as bad as I thought that it was going to be. My cards are in great proportion and there is no green tint as was described. I hope this is helpful.

Review Summary: A Masterwork!
Review: This is a deck about which I deliberated years before acquiring. I was greatly attracted to the artwork, but the stigma surrounding it held me back. I had heard that they were accurate to a fault, and then in other reviews they were touted as being unreadable. I finally purchased the deck to see for myself, and I am very happy that I did. Created by Aleister Crowley and illustrated by Lady Frieda Harris, this work of art took five years to complete, and remains one of the most enigmatic decks ever created. There is none of the RWS symbolism, and as such, I would hesitate to recommend it to a beginner unless they were completely drawn to it. This is a very black/white deck; quite simply put, it either speaks to you or it does not. I am fascinated by the visualizations, and each time I see them, I see something different, another facet to be read and interpreted.
Some of the card names have been changed: Justice appears here as Adjustment VIII, and Strength renamed Lust XI. Art XIV is the renamed Temperance card.
The Pip (or Minor Arcana) Suits are named Wands, Cups, Discs and Swords. The Court cards are a little different: they are named as The Knight, The Queen, The Prince and The Princess of their respective suits. The majority of the Pip cards have a keyword listed on them. I use this deck regularly in my readings, and look forward to many years of discovering the nuances of each card.
The biggest problem I have with my Thoth deck is the size of the cards. They are larger than average (the better to admire the artwork, my dears), and difficult for me to shuffle comfortably. However, there is another version with smaller, more manageable cards, and I find myself using this one more than the other. My recommendation is this: don't listen to the hype. Listen to your little voice, and it will tell you if this is a deck that you will be able to personally connect with.

Review Summary: Worth it
Review: Gorgeous pictures on every single jumbo sized cards.
I can't score about practicality for fortunetellers since I don't have much knowledge about Tarots, but it's worth enough to possess as its artistic quality.
Tremendously compared with another deck I've bought on a local on-line shop last month.

Review Summary: Awesome Art
Review: I was first drawn to this deck for the artwork alone and then only later to messing around with readings. Some people complain that this belgium print (US Games) is green and murkey compared to the brighter Switzerland print by AGM which is out of print. I think they are awesome the way they are but have to admit i've never seen the latter. But seeing as how they are out of print and cost around $200 for a used set on amazon, i won't be seeing the difference any time soon.
