Not real fur.
Now I know what you guys are thinking this is a RWS are we honestly going to review this? Oh now you may be a little bit correct this deck I'm showing you today has taken the wonderful concept of the RWS and turned it into something beautiful.
They've used the image and twisted it a little so now the idea of images go along the lines of " what happens after the fool jumps off the cliff." etc.
After Tarot.
I believe that this is a fabulous take on such an iconic deck, it gives the deck a fresh perspective so readers can look at situations differently.
The imagery on the cards doesn't stretch too far from the RWS other than showing us an alternate point of view. I especially enjoy the image of the two of swords shown above. It has two men fighting over one woman that's blindfolded. It makes it easy to see that there's a choice that the person isn't choosing to see easily.
The tarot speaks of alternate universes quite often in the book,it gives unique and wonderful perspectives of tarot, For example it says we shouldn't stay in the reading for too long as were stepping into the future. It gives wonderful new spreads that are a unique idea.
Packaging
Sorry for my poor photography skills, this doesn't do it justice. But as you can see the packaging is the most beautiful thing that a tarot deck ever did come in. I love this packaging it's far better than those little boxes and the typical Llewellyn packaging with the white cardboard.
It's a good sturdy box with beautiful imagery as you can see inside. The box its self is magnetic so it's easy to open and get the cards in and out.
The book in the deck is beautiful it's quite glossy it reminds me of a school text-book. It comes in a different layout than most. It comes in one, two's and threes in order for you to find the cards.
The cards stock is absolutely wonderful to it's a little thick and glossy. Easy to shuffle.
To conclude i'd recommend this deck to anyone who loves quirky perspectives on things.
