Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a heavily science minded individual (I have a PhD in neurochemistry for reference) that has never put much stock into astrology or other "fortune telling games". However, in an attempt to silence a bout of destructive anxiety of late I decided to have fun with something such as Tarot (those of you flocking to correct me or scream at me for such slanderous speech, hear me out). I initially purchased "The Wild Unknown" deck, and while the art was beautiful (and unique) and the descriptions intricate, I did not feel in any way connected to the cards. Even in the initial readings when referencing the book, the cards and the descriptions felt alien to each other, and forced. For those of you interested in that set, I highly recommend it and still use it occasionally, but it is not for me as a reader or as the one being read. After shelving Tarot (literally and figuratively) for a few months, I got back into meditation to continue coping with my anxiety and decided to look for another set of Tarot cards that I felt more intuitively. That's when I spotted The Wildwood Tarot deck. I've always felt drawn to and connected to nature, both in a physical sense as well as "spiritually" you could say, and the concept of Druidism has always intrigued me. Upon receiving the Wildwood deck, I opened the box and immediately read the first couple of chapters. I spent a good deal of time studying the Wheel of the Year, and all of its interconnections and symbolism. Afterwards, I looked through each of the cards and was shocked at how much they spoke to me. I studied the art on each card as well as the descriptors and immediately felt as if I could close my eyes and envision myself within the card. The images are so clear, the pictures so nuanced and complete, that I could immediately give a reading based solely on the card and the intricate details presented within the artwork. There is not one card in this deck that I could not immediately relate to. Know that I'm not even a novice reader, and barely a beginner, but this deck has made me enthusiastic about taking a journey into Tarot, if not entirely in a spiritual sense, but as a means of clarity in reflection.
