The record
I first saw that this was an updated deck before I even saw the cards. This actually made me disinclined to like it, as my preference is the older, more esoteric decks. However, once I had the cards in my hand, I was drawn right into them! I love the simplicity, I love the muted pastel coloring, and I love the conservative nature of the cards. This deck was birthed by members of a group entitled Expanding Dimensions. Their purpose was to move the traditional structure of the Tarot into a more modern setting. They felt that the traditional structure of the Tarot could be combined with modern imagery that people could easily connect to, while retaining the core values for each card. IMHO, they succeeded very well! The deck and LWB (Little White Book) come in what is becoming Schiffer Publishings trade mark a heavy cardboard box with a lift top, held closed by a magnet, with ribbons on either side that do not allow the top to hyper-extend when opening. I really do like this the deck will be protected forever, and the cards will not spill out if the box is accidentally dropped, or knocked off of a table or desk. The 95 page LWB includes an introduction to the group Expanding D
