Product Description
These cards are alive with movement-the delicate curves, the sweeping lines, the bright yet gentle color-all serve to draw the mind around and into the pictures. Taken together in a reading, these cards almost effortlessly weave a story. Taken individually, there is plenty for the eye to feast on. This deck, a work of art in itself, will also serve as a powerful divinatory tool.

The art work is amazing. Each card is a piece of art. I find myself just enjoying every card in the readings, and my clients always remark on their style. One of my favorites.
Rating: 5 / 5
The art is surely very very beautiful, but it can only suit taste for deck collectors.
The floral style make each card hard to differ from each other. In a large reading, it becomes so hard to read.

These cards are absolutely gorgeous in the true Art Nouveau style. However, they are SO stylized that the individual cards often don’t have the “standard” look of a card of that arcana or number. It requires having at least a basic understanding of what each card represents, in advance, to work with them.

Upon first glance, this deck looks like one of the most beautiful ever published. The major trumps all are faithful to traditional design. The colors are pastel and very sping time like. Hence the name “printemps”. This was my choice for romantic oriented readings.
It is when we pass into the minors that things fall apart rather fast. I do not know if it was deliberate or lost in translation but the meaning of most cards are switched beyond recognition.
A big NO NO in my book! I could see if there was a deliberate reason for this. The accompaning booklet lacks little explaination for these changes. There was no book to accompany deck. Until one is produced, the deck sits in my Tarot cabinet,gathering dust. Only getting it out to show others the beautiful art work.
I would not recommend this to beginners. Even advanced readers may have some trouble explaining the blatant changes to most of the minors. Believe me, this happened to me. A major trump only reading would be very good for affairs of the heart.

The art work is great! But it’s use is limited. All women in the minors that aren’t really doing much of anything but sitting there and looking pretty with maybe a slight frown or smile. It is a bit of a far stretch but this isn’t a typical traditional deck and probably should be avoided by beginner’s and those wanting decks that are more plain in their presentation of meaning and symbolisim. The majors are okay but again they don’t really fit tradtional meanings. If one likes pretty but not informative and unorthadox, this is the deck for you.
