Sacred Rose Tarot
This is one of those decks that just gives me the creeps. The art would be OK, except that most of the characters have hollow eyes, either completely black or completely white. There are no pupils or irises at all. It makes them all look like "creatures" rather than people. It's quite unsettling to have those non-eyes staring at you. :::shiver:::
Sacred Rose Tarot mostly follows Rider-Waite style, except that Justice is VIII and Strength is XI. All of the cards, including the pips, are illustrated. Suits are wands, cups, swords and pentacles. Some of the swords are quite brutal. Court cards are page, knight, queen and king.
The cards measure approximately 2.75 by 4.75 inches. This is a little large for me, but certainly not above average as tarot decks go. The stock is durable ... just right if you ask me. I suspect they will hold up to regular use well, but I don't use mine much at all.
I recommend this deck for those who can get past those eyes. Symbolism is adequate ... enough for beginners. I recommend the deck for collectors, as it is an interesting addition.
