These are the most beautiful tarot cards I own. They have a lenticular feel and look to them which makes them so interesting to look at and touch. They are a bit darker than I expected but they are still gorgeous. I'm tempted to get another deck in a different color because I like them so much. While they are very slippery this works well for me because I have nerve damage in one of my hands and it makes shuffling regular cards somewhat difficult. These are much easier to move around and shuffle. And I love that if a cat knocks a cup of water on them they won't be ruined, as this is a real problem in my household! They are also a bigger size than my other decks. The asthetic of these gives a Gothic feel that I love and they come in a sturdy box for storage. Love!
