The Canon's read
Tarot Canon's own assessment, written for this catalog.
Jennifer Galasso's Crystal Visions, through U.S. Games in 2011, works the soft-fantasy register the review captures by comparison to the Shadowscapes: pastel atmospherics, graceful figures, ethereal staging, the fantasy-art tarot at its gentlest. Galasso's illustration career in fantasy publishing shows in the polish; the deck's world is coherent, a crystalline dreamscape where the arcana float rather than stand.
The catalog consolidated its duplicate records here. Soft-fantasy decks serve a real reading temperament: querents who open to gentleness and close against severity, for whom the Shadowscapes-Crystal Visions shelf is not decoration but access. Galasso's version distinguishes itself with its color logic, meaning carried in palette shifts as much as scene. It suits fantasy-art readers, gentle-practice keepers, Shadowscapes admirers wanting a sibling, and beginners who need beauty to stay curious. Readers who require gravity have been directed elsewhere often enough by now to know their aisles.
From the archive
An excerpt from a review at the Aeclectic Tarot archive, in the original reviewer's voice.
Crystal Visions Tarot is brought to us by fantasy artist Jennifer Galasso. The beautiful, soft artwork bring to mind another of my favorite decks, the Shadowscapes Tarot, by Stephanie Pui Mun Law. I love the colors and sense of grace...
