Law of Attraction Tarot Deck & Book By Marina Roveda

Love this deck really has a lot of unique art great pick!

Now as positive a set of cards as I would have liked.Drawings are darker than anticipated.But they will be useful.

It was great!

This intriguing tarot is the creation of Marina Roveda, based on the new age concept of the Law of Attraction. The artwork, by Simone Gabrielli, depicts seemingly realistic imagery, masterfully rendered in muted tones. There is a lot to like about this tarot, but is not an easy pick for many. Fortunately, there is a guidebook in this kit; certainly a must for this deck.I must admit that I'm not very fond of the new age concept of the Law of Attraction. In my opinion, this concept that can be easily misused e.i. to blame the victim for her/his own misfortunes. However, the few cards I was able to peruse over the internet managed to intrigue me enough for me to get this deck.The back of these cards are almost reversible, showing an over simplified model of the solar system with a radiant sun, and golden keys depicted along the top and the bottom. These cards are bordered white; numbered at the top and labeled at the bottom within small blue scripts.The Major Arcana are numbered with roman numerals at the top and bottom, but no other labeling is presented. However, these cards are associated with a key word in the book:0. The Fool - ConfusionI. The Magician - PlanningII. The High Priestess - WisdomIII. The Empress - FormulationIV.

The Star - OptimismXVIII. The Moon - Negative ThoughtsXIX. The Sun - SuccessXX. Judgment - The RenewalXXI. The World - The AccomplishmentThese cards borrows from several tarot traditions. Strength is numbered 11, while Justice is numbered 8, as per Thoth or Marseilles Tarot. The Lovers depicts two lovers kissing that could be Rider or Visconti-Sforza Tarot. The Chariot depicts a chariot pulled by horses as per Marseilles Tarot. The World depicts a kingdom held by two angels, as per Visconti-Sforza. However, the imagery of most cards depart from tradition, although their meaning is compatible with the Rider Tarot.The Minor Arcana are labeled with a suit symbol (sword, wand, cup or pentacle) at the bottom. The pips are numbered at the top, while the court cards are labeled with a symbol (knave, knight, queen crown, or king crown). These cards are also associated with a key word in the book.These cards come in a kit. The box opens like a coffer and closes with a magnetic contact. This kit also includes a guidebook, which is organized as follows:Introduction - This section introduces the idea behind The Law of Attraction, its possible origin and its use.Major Arcana - This section starts with a listing of all the Major Arcana and associated key words. The sections continues with the description of each Major Arcana including a full page color picture of the card, and an additional page for Description, Key words, and Interpretation.Minor Arcana - This section starts with a listing of the suits and the associated key words for each Minor Arcana. This section continues with the description of each Minor Arcana including a quarter page color picture of the card, Description, Key words, and Interpretation.Spreads - Includes: The Celtic Cross (10 cards), The Astromantic Wheel (12 cards), The Fish (9 cards), The Crab (6 cards), The Seagull (7 cards), The Three-card Method (6 cards), and The Judge (4 cards).Conclusion - In my opinion, this section should have been a preface. In this section the creator of the Law of Attraction Tarot, Marina Roveda, explains her motivations for creating this deck.This tarot is intended for intuitive use, as explained at the end of the guidebook's introduction. So technically speaking, anyone should be able to use this deck. However, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who wants to start with Tarot. This is indeed a very attractive tarot, no pun intended, and some tarot collectors may give it a try.
