The Good Tarot: A 78-Card Deck And Guide

I am not a traditional tarot reader and have always worked with oracle cards. However, I wanted to understand tarot a little more to complement my practice. I have a traditional set of cards, and was wondering if I could incorporate tarot in my everyday life a little more. Enter The Good Tarot! I connected with these cards right away! Which is always a good sign, considering how you bond with your cards has a lot to do with how effectively you can use them. The card stock is elegant, and the imagery is just wow! The cards are a bit large though, which makes it difficult for me to shuffle them, but that's the case with most Oracle decks, and doesn't really bother me much! The Good Tarot is definitely more oracle like in its appearance and visual images. All the cards come with an affirmation in the present tense, and is great for meditating on them, or journaling too. The cards were created with the aim of taking the medieval out of tarot, and Colette Baron Reid has clearly lived up to her intentions. Despite its differences with traditional tarot, it has got elements that seamlessly connects it with the former. Overall, a great impulse buy and I'm loving every bit of the deck!

I wanted this deck so badly, I always used to keep on check, when the prices are coming down or when am I getting a best deal from Amazon, finally I made up my mind and I could buy this Deck, @1210, quite good discount, apart from discount I mean this was not only the reason I bought this Deck, but I connected my self so well, when I saw it for the first time, each card is so mesmerizing, although I'm just a beginner in Tarot, I feel image of the card it self speaks so well about it, I automatically started thinking about the card intuitively, I just want to say if ur checking up on reviews regarding this Deck, it's time to get one for ur self, very beautiful imagery, I am happy with the packaging and before time delivery....✌️💖💞❤️

Well maybe I'm just a tad bit carried away but I don't think you could ever really "reject" a Collette Baron Reid deck for want of depth. This one has the usual power pair of her and her most preferred artist Jenna doing their thing. The artwork is dreamy and not always "obvious ". But the "good" thing is it's all about celebrating what's working and re-working what's not. Using affirmations and faith and not the usual doomsday attitude many associate with difficult archetypes in the tarot. Big fat deck. Borderless. Beautiful green backing. Concise but useful card explanations. Not her best work when you think of The Enchanted Map if you ask me. But a great addition to your collection. If you're into manifesting through the Law Of Attraction and high vibrations. Then this fits you snugly.

The Good Tarot is an excellent deck. M just lost in its beautiful artistic and vibrant colors. Its helping me to extract more deep meanings. The images are so elaborative and has Universal effects on each and every card. Beyond my expectation. The cards are so fine and the packaging is also👍 A must buy deck to connect with Universe. Thanks to my Angel and Spirit Guide for suggesting me this deck. M so glad to have it. ❤❤🙏

So emagine

Got a used deck, that's the only reason for 4 stars, one card was a little torn from the corner! But I love the cards, I like the artwork and I resonate with them

I absolutely adore this deck. It’s so so so so good. It comes in a box with cards at the bottom and the guide book on top same size as the cards. The imagery and the vibe of these cards is just so magical. Could be difficult for new readers but with time it will be fine. THIS IS MY one of the MOST FAVOURITE DECKS OF ALL UNTIL NOW. Because This is the first ever time I felt so connected to the purpose for which the deck was made. This right away has a solution to every situation of yours. This deck would be for those people who knows that life is changing every single second & nothing is certain & the only certain thing is how we act and react at the present moment. The Good tarot serves the purpose so well. No matter what card you pull, it right away guides you to what should be your immediate action. I pulled a few cards for 2-3 readings in these 2 days and BANG ON! It’s so accurate!

Beautiful cards. The illustrations are dreamy and intuitive. Hay House follow a typical size, quality and structure. So these cards are wider and less slippery than most tarot cards. They bridge the gap between tarot and oracle cards.

Es un Tarot hermoso! Me encanta la calidad de los mazos de Collete, para mi como coleccionista son los mejores en cuanto a calidad, de excelente material, cartas grandes y gruesas. Las imágenes hermosas! Para coleccionistas es excelente, para lecturas me parece muy light ya que no contienen el drama del Tarot original pero ese es el punto con éste mazo, un Tarot muy positivo me encanta para lecturas compuestas por varios mazos!

The Good Tarot by Colette Baron Reid. Oh my days I adore this tarot deck so so much!!!!! There has been a lot of noise about this in tarot community as a result of its name, which has caused some controversy. I bought it after seeing it on a flip through of all the cards, on You Tube and I adore it soso much. The images are many layered and blended Photoshop style and there is so much in each picture, if you like to read intuitively its amazing. The pictures are soothing and gentle and great to meditate on. Please buy this deck because you like the art, maybe have a look at flip through video's that are on You Tube if you want to see all the cards first. I did that and loved so many, that from a collectors point of view, it had to come home. Having worked with it now, I am very bonded to this deck, it has a wonderful positive energy to it, and its images. If you choose to read the book that comes with the deck you will find it full of affirmations. Some cards have prompts to move you along in a given situation but the book is written in the first person, so they read as if you were speaking to yourself. My previous fave deck was; Native Spirit Oracle deck for its soothing imagery, and The Good Tarot is another one to go to, when you want to meditate on beautiful images. I can't say I know enough about 'traditional' tarot to comment on how 'well' its meanings translate in this deck. There are some cards I know and love well and seeing them in this deck some have been treated differently to what I would expect from tarot but personally I find that refreshing. Not sure what I make of the Hermit card being an intricate wooden door, and as others have mentioned the 8 of cups image in this deck does have a different look from trad tarot. Many other cards are so beyond beautiful and with such depth of meaning and feeling they make you want to cry (in a good way). If you come to the deck after being solely interested in Oracle, then this is a great transition deck. It does feel like its the offspring of Oracle n Tarot blend. There is no death card, no scary skeleton, instead number 13 is Transformation and the person in the card holds up a phoenix rising from the palm of her hands. The traditional death card is about change and transformation, yes possibly an ending but NOT about mortality literally, this makes the Good Tarot's working of the card so perfect. In the book, the author advises you to use this deck for single or at most 3 card draws, as a review of where you are now and advice on that, rather than for predictive readings. I feel this is mostly because of the wording in the book, if you are reading the images intuitively then I don't see there being a problem using it in a more expansive way, but I am a newbie to traditional Tarot so am in no way experienced enough to comment more deeply in that area. Due to the intricacy of the images, I have had several occasions where I got a feeling/connection, from the deck that really spoke to how I was feeling in that moment which was perfect, yet totally different to what was written in the book. This can be the same for any Tarot or Oracle deck so it is not a negative thing. For me it is a case of looking at an image and feeling how it feels, how it makes me react in response to the question I have posed rather than being fixed to books. But we each look for different things in a deck and use them in our own ways too. The other deck I have for Tarot and love is The Dreaming Way Tarot, that deck has beautiful drawn images that feel follow more close to the RWS system if that is your preference, BUT The Good Tarot has become my main deck, because of its layered beautiful imagery. Is this the right deck to use if you want to learn 'traditional' tarot and are wanting to use it with the one of the host of 'learn tarot' books that are available? No. Simply because those books are based very heavily on the RWS system and describe those traditional images. The images in the Good Tarot,are unique and do not rely so heavily on the RWS system. You would find it confusing to use this deck with those books. However as a stand alone deck, if you come to it from Oracle only experience then it is wonderful. Yes the basic Tarot structure is there; 78 cards with some rewording for some of the major arcana, and court cards, also the use of earth, air, fire water instead of Wands, Swords, Pentacles, Cups. I'm guessing this is going to be a marmite situation, if you have no prior experience of tarot or have found traditional RWS images..how do I put this.. intense, (I am not a fan of the original RWS decks, personal choice, to each their own) which is why I chose the Dreaming Way tarot as those images were softer. If like me you find that traditional style not to your liking but you are wanting a deeper/different experience to Oracle then this deck is really really worth considering. It feels very earth/natural spirit based. there are plenty of animals, faries, and blending of fantasy with folk style in a very multi layered image. This is defiantely one of those decks where each time you see a card you will see something new within it. Highly recommend this deck, for its own merit. Please take it as an individual and unique deck and appreciate it on that basis, rather than comparing it to what you expect to find in a traditional tarot deck. Beautiful, inspiring, soothing, healing, nurturing, truly wonderful unique deck. Get it, you need it, you want it. If it calls to you, say YES.

There is nothing like opening a new, beautiful Tarot deck. I love the card stock of this deck. I love the size, easy to shuffle with my smallish hands but the visuals, the artistry is what I love most and why I was drawn to this deck, energetically. The guide book is also interesting and will be helpful to readers newer to Tarot. Highly recommend…

Väldigt vackra kort! Dom var till en väns pojkvän, han blev väldigt glad för dom

I originally choose to purchase this deck for the beautiful art and imagery. I find it stunningly appealing, and most importantly - it speaks to me. What I appreciate about this deck is the unique approach Colette conveys within the guide book; she provides the ADDITIONAL LAYER of understanding to the meaning of the cards; without repeating or rehashing the technical meanings behind each card. I'm very familiar with the language she uses in the understanding and processes of co-creation of our experiences with spirit, and the power of our intent/affirmations within our Inner World. I feel that Colette clearly and fully explains WHY this deck is designed the way that it is, and what makes it different from other decks on the market. Is this designed for a Beginner? Perhaps not. UNLESS the beginner needs to learn the mechanics of using the Tarot, in that case, an additional teaching tarot book would be useful. Is it designed for the Seasoned reader? Yes. There are no printed phrases or borders on the cards to distract from hearing your own inner guidance. Since I've worked with several decks over the years, often times when I look at any given tarot card, regardless of what deck I'm using; the corresponding images of the same card from another deck will be shown within my mind's eye. THIS deck provides the ADDITIONAL layer of understanding behind the energy of the card's meaning. The card stock is standard size and thickness like most oracle cards, the laminate is medium gloss, and plain edging - no gold or silver. Which I'm fine with because oftentimes that kind of edging irritates my fingers when shuffling. I had pre-ordered this deck and have been using it daily since the release date. Because of the gloss finish or perhaps the deck may need broken in more, the cards still have a tendency to cling together while shuffling. Regardless, I've very happy with my purchase and it makes a great addition to my Tarot collection!
