Paul is amazingly talented yet very humble. I was very excited to interview him. I can’t wait to do readings with him in October!

I am glad you enjoy the Talkin’ Tarot With feature! There are so many awesome tarot readers out there – I hope I can find them all! I find it so fascinating that we all have such different – and in some cases – similar views on tarot.

Blessings!

Thank you for your insights – I agree that this deck requires “more thought and introspection” than a standard deck. Perhaps I am just used to needing to give answers in rapid fire succession – therefore this deck was difficult for me to work with. I’ll certainly play with it more in my own personal readings. Maybe with time, I’ll find a way to use it properly.

I really appreciate your viewpoint!
Blessings!

Thanks for stopping by and for your comment! I do hope that my reviews are helpful for my fellow tarot lovers. Not all will agree with my opinions and that is the beauty of reviews – we all have a different take on a deck or book and these diverse views ultimately help the consumer consider whether it is right (or not) for them!

I do think the artist did a remarkable job with the deck (can you imagine what goes in to creating a deck???). It just didn’t read well in my opinion – but it is sure nice to look at.

Blessings!

Just stopping by to take a look at your reviews. I have to agree with you on this one, I’m not fond of the deck myself, but that is my personal opinion. It’s hard to say that about any decks that are out because you know how much work and effort was put into making the deck, definitely not an easy task and I give Kudos for that. But on the same note I have decks that I never touch because they simply do not appeal to me at all, yet there are tons of people who love those same decks.

I honestly can not say that I can give a total opinion on this deck because I have not used it, but simply by the images shown here, they do not appeal. I have had other decks that I wasn’t really into that turned out to read like a dream for me. I am also from the Rider Waite style of reading, my first deck was actually the Cannon Reed Witches tarot and I still love that deck to this day, I think the images are beautiful, but I never got a rally good read with it. I think this is perhaps due to the fact that the book was based on Kabalah and the Swords and Wands suits are reversed (Swords being fire, Wands being air in this deck.) I ended up learning from the RW system and I think I look at all decks and immediately associate them in that manner.

In all, I do have to say that this deck has a very soft, soothing tone to it from what I see, I do like that about it, but not the deck for me. Kudos to you also for starting this “Deck and Book Nook,” and taking on the task, and also having it set up for others to post their personal opinion on the Decks and Books. Some may not agree with my opinion on the deck, but it allows those who do feel a connection to get a deeper look, and different point of view before buying the deck…or even reason to go and buy the deck if it appeals to them.

Thank you for stopping by. I did indeed check out the samples for your new deck and I must say that I am delighted with the images so far. It has a very Alice in Wonderland feel to it! Wow! Can’t wait to see this one when it comes out!

Blessings!

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for your comment. I also find it interesting that no two tarot reader will view a deck the same way. For example, I have a lot of issues reading with the Thoth deck – yet I know so many who love it and feel it is the best deck ever. What appeals to one may not appeal to the other. It shows how diverse we really are – there are no “cookie cutter” tarot readers!

The Paulina deck is gorgeous – just didn’t work for me as a “reading” deck.
Blessings!
