This book shows the relationship of the Tarot cards to the Tree of Life, the Qabala, an easy entry into the deeper spiritual levels of our being. It also provides beautiful descriptions of the incredible cards of the deck by the same name. Together, the book and the deck present a very LIGHTED view of the Tarot/Qabala. "Just do it!"

this deck has detailed, if somewhat surreal imagery. instead of wands or coins this deck uses fire, to represent spirit, earth, etc. it isn't king, queen, etc. but mother, father, sister, brother. the imagery has sometimes hidden elements that can surprise you long after you think you know the deck. i recomend this deck for more advanced readers, or those more attuned to the elements.

Of all the tarot decks I have used, this is by far the best. So much so, that it has become a part of my daily life. The art work is beautiful and extremely complex in its symbolism. The companion book continues to shock me in its validity to my own life. Dr. Eakins could not have done a better job! An excellent purchase for both beginning and experienced tarot readers.

The art for these cards is phenomenally beautiful and presents a very Lighted version of the Tarot. The book allows clear, easy readings, but also profides a basis for understanding our deep spiritual levels of existence, based on the Qabalistic model of the Tree of Life. A great choice!

I highly recommend this book and deck. It is deep, detailed, passionate, advanced. It is the best Tarot book and deck ever published. Even the publisher, US Games, which publishes hundreds of tarot decks, calls it the most masterful deck. You will not be disappointed. Let it take you on your spiritual journey.

In her highly cerebral style, Eakins once again explores the events of all ages that bear so heavily on our culture. We need to know what has been and what will be if we are to enter the next millenium with confidence. She caters to this fundamental need magnificantly!!!

Priestess shouted to me in a whisper to pursue my life long goal--to enter the priestesshood!!!

This book shows the potential for the all-but-lost Priestess within each of us (regardless of gender) to be reborn by REMEMBERING who we are at very deep spiritual levels. It reads like a good novel, but it brings forth deep truth. A Must Read for everyone becoming spirtually conscious.....Bill Mayo

This tarot deck is masterfully painted in such a way that the pictures seem more spirit than flesh. This deck is not comprised of exact sterotypical images but flowing figures wich the name sugests. Earth, Air, Fire, & Water replace the typical Disk,Sword, Wand, & Cups. A singel word discription is tastefully writen at the bottom of each card wich is quite helpfull. Some ( very few) of the images seem quickly drawn but all are well painted. All and all this is a great deck. The art is quite undeserving of such malace that other reviews sugest.

The deck is beautiful, the symbolism easy to read. I have used this deck as my deck to read others with for years. I've even worn one deck out and had to purchase another and soon my second deck will have to be replaced! This deck is great for beginners as there is a key word on each of the Minor Arcana. I don't know why the one reviewer gave it such a bad rating.... don't they know art is subjective? If you like watercolors, you'll love this deck.

Joyce Eakins is truly masterful in her rendering of the complex qabalistic symbology of the tarot. A finer Tarot Deck was never painted during any historical period. Tarot of the Spirit is a must have for any collector or for anyone exploring deep psychological and mystical symbolism.
