I know there are other threads about this deck but I started this new one because I'm hoping that there can be a lot of really good response to it instead of unkind remarks about big hands and weird faces and such that seems to predominate the biggest thread about this deck. I was given it as an Easter present and it's absolutely fabulous. For those who think the Rider Waite art is ugly (I did for a long time), here's the deck to go for.
I really love the decks Lo Scarabeo puts out and I hate to see them put down. I didn't quite "get" a lot of them for awhile but then I suddenly had an epiphany and then I couldn't get enough of them.
The Illuminati is oppulent, evocative, eloquent and just plain gorgeous. I predict it will stay in demand and in print for a very long time to come. And I sure hope I'm right. Mine is the kit with the gorgeous sturdy box, the book and the gilded edges on the cards. I intend to get the larger book, the cards with borders and the journal and Tarot bag somehow eventually to make sure I've got everything. It seems pretty appropriate that the High Priestess image is on everything since the High Priestess is my birth card and my soul card, too.
I've been doing some readings with this deck in the Reading Exchange and it's such a joy to read with.
There was a thread once asking what 9 of Pentacles card we thought was the most beautiful and at that time my pick was the Morgan Greer. Well, my vote has definitely changed now....ihat card from the Illuminati has beaten the Morgan Greer hands down and by a mile!
