Críticas:

Pagan website Tabitarot features an extensive review of this deck, including several card images. Overall, the deck gets a thumbs-up from me and Im hard to please as there are very few decks that I like - but my love of the Norse myths brought this deck to my attention. Ive done a few readings for myself with it, and I feel that with some more study of the story it tells, it will become a firm favourite of mine. I have only a passing knowledge of Arthur Rackhams art as I was only aware that he did a lot of fairy illustrations, which dont appeal to me. The illustrations hit the spot for such a weighty tale that weaves through this deck, and whilst the art does show the style of the turn of the 20th century, it nevertheless seems to have a timeless quality."

Reseña del editor:

This beautiful 78-card Tarot deck, adapted from the illustrations of Arthur Rackham, interprets Richard Wagner's four-part opera, The Ring of the Nibelung, which traces the mythic tale of a golden ring of unlimited power plagued by a deadly curse, loose in the world of the Old Norse and Germanic gods. An End Time prophecy infuses the epic story with thought-provoking, contemporary resonance. The four elemental Tarot suits in this powerful divination tool are realized from four Ring Cycle races: Gods (Fire/Wands), demi-god Walsungs (Water/Cups), human Gibichungs (Air/Swords), and dwarf Nibelungs (Earth/Disks/Pentacles). The accompanying book explores divinatory meanings, lensed partly through the feminine and esoteric, and also delves into The Ring of the Nibelung's characters, plot, themes, and unique music, which would inspire J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth novels decades later. This deck remains true to the spirit of Wagner, Rackham, and the Tarot, demonstrating useful contemporary insight into all three of these timeless arts.
