Dreams of Gaia Tarot: A Tarot for a New Era (Book & Cards)

Gorgeous! I'm so glad I finally added this to my collection. I have been eyeing this deck for years, but hesitated because it diverged from traditional tarot within that structure. The real game changer is the update in card stock quality. Previous editions reminded me most of cardboard sandwiched between shiny cellophane layers. This one has a slightly satin feel that is part of the card itself. Finally the materials match the beauty of the art! And, the book is practically a stand alone work itself! The deck size is indeed bigger that standard tarot, more along an oracle deck size, but it's totally worth it to also get the full size book along side. I'm already considering getting the travel size, since the box, also sturdy and well made, is oversized to accommodate the book, with a built up cavity in the bottom for the deck. Even though, like fictional Elsbeth Tascioni, I have lots of big bags and tend to over pack for even the grocery store, the full box is too clunky and heavy for daily just-in-case travel. That said, I still love it, and am brainstorming ways to have the deck with me always! Totally recommend!!

I was excited to have received this today. I was nervous I wouldn't connect with the deck as I'd only seen it in video reviews online. (Sidenote: I've started acquiring both Tarot & Oracle decks as of April 2019. So I have not studied Rider-Waite in depth. They are for my personal use only.) Anyway, with that said, I find it will be easier for me to learn this new tarot system as the artist intended. I like that the guidebook reads like an Oracle book as I heavily rely on them, at least until I can fully tune into the card's energy & read on my own. It includes keywords and key phrases as well as an in-depth meaning of each card. The book is 307 pages cover to cover. The artwork is so beautifully done, I can go on & on about it. The cardstock is a bit thinner than most but shuffles nice. The card size is slightly larger than standard Tarot but shuffles and handles well. The box is thick & well designed. This second edition is the 2019 print so it doesn't have the all-black & bordered backing nor the gold edging of the 2016 print. I was disappointed about the plain edging but not enough for it to detract from the beauty of this deck. This was on my wishlist for the last 4 months due to the price being high at the time so I couldn't resist the deal I got during Prime Day. I am very happy & it's already becoming my beloved Tarot deck. The only small issue I have is that to get the book & cards out easily you have to flip the box over in your hand. I was able to resolve that by hot-gluing a wide ribbon onto the inside of the box.

Stunning set! By the time I had them shuffled they were one of my favorite decks. Card quality is very lush but sturdy, artwork... *Chefs kiss* and the messages, wonderful. I look forward to a long relationship with them.

Tarot is a pretty strong classic. It is useful and enduring. This deck's strength however is that it is geared at healing in practical but spiritual ways that feel very soulful and timely. You gain an understanding of yourself, your interpersonal relationships and the broader essence of who we are. The guidebook is of course well talked about because it is amazing. Not too long and not too short. A lot of work went into the writing and I can see even more went into the artwork. The artwork is not my general style of choice but it is still undeniably beautiful and very magical. The publisher has supported that by using great card stock and packaging. This is definitely a system to learn but if you are up for it the rewards are great. I bought this two weeks ago and have been pulling one or two cards to help me think through a couple issues. It has always given me something direct to think about and really become more mindful of. Working through this deck could help with truly understanding yourself on a higher level. It acts as a wise friend and guide. I bought this at the same time as the Osho Zen tarot. They make a great pair of decks to have on hand for consultation with depending on your mood and concern. Osho Zen is clear, sharp shooting and direct which may sometimes shock you. Dreams of Gaia is practical, well considered and thoughtful. The overall quality and usability of Dreams of Gaia however is nicer and more luxurious. If you wished to splurge it could be worth getting the pocket version too to carry around more easily.

I love this deck! It sits by me and I pull from it everyday. Sometimes we as people get to going so fast we do not slow down to take inventory of our feelings, thought processes and actions in response to these deeper parts of ourselves. I love that this deck helps in this way, at least for me. I love, love, love it. The art is vibrant and energetically charged the text in the book is insightful and awesome. My favorite deck, it is a deep and thought provoking read. I was wanting the gold edges and I didn't get them.. while this was slightly disappointing, I edged them with a beutiful teal and it fits beautifully. My soul is in love with this deck. I will be getting another one. I would hate to not have this peice of work in my life. Ravynne Phelan went deep into the heart and soul of our human experiences and perceptions with this wonderfully made deck. Thankyou Ravynn. I have no problems with my deck aesthetically or in connecting with the energy that I feel when utilising this deck and book, and for that I am grateful. If you are thinking about adding this to your spiritual journey I would say Do it and then dive in. :)

It came earlier and I was very happy. It is so beautiful. I thank you for this deck.

Arrivate con un giorno di anticipo in buone condizioni. Il packaging è davvero bello e ordinato. il libro è scritto bene e di una dimensione ottima per essere portato anche in giro comodamente. I tarocchi sono davvero stupendi e grandi, non hanno la bordatura dorata come nelle foto ma sono comunque di buona qualità ( o perlomeno è questa l’idea che mi hanno dato visto che non sono un esperto ). Sono molto lisce e scorrono bene tra loro, anche troppo forse ahaha ma almeno così non dovrebbero rovinarsi mentre si mischiano.

Love it!

The Artwork is just wow, and it's a very intuitive deck to work with. Definitely this deck is a powerful one to work with for shadow work, for writers, artists, due to the intuitive images on each card. The guidebook is in depth covering past, present, future and also Potential blockages. It's a we'll penned guidebook and certainly different from the traditional tarot, as Ravynne puts her own symbolism. It has rich elemental energies and symbols which is my favourite 💜

Amazing. Meanings are altered from traditional tarot. Cards are a very high quality and I do not forsee any peeling issues or cardstock issues. Highly accurate. Absolutely love this deck and so happy I purchased despite the few reviews I read regarding quality of the cardstock. Artwork is 10/10

This beautiful 2022 edition has mat luxurious feeling card stock, a well printed guidebook with good font to read, with interesting text for profound work. Not a traditional tarot. Beautiful authentic paintings by the authorI recommend it!
