Just to let you know that I think the Antiquarian Tarot is a special deck. Since receiving mine at the beginning of December, I have been using it constantly and it is now my favourite deck. I love the colours, the style of artwork, the card stock and the whole general ambiance of it. The cards look gorgeous when they are laid out, and the coloured borders make it easy to see the different energies. The court cards are my favourites in any deck. They all have their own personalities; from the gentle and dreamy Page of Cups to the beautiful Queen of Wands, who looks like she is going to burst into laughter at any minute. I especially love the court of Pentacles with their lavender borders, the earnest photographer representing the Knight being my fave. The use of the vintage cards and photographs make this a very warm and human deck. The characters all have their stories to tell, but they are very subtle in their whispers. Very much a deck of dreams and memories. Thank you.

I was waiting a bit to put in this review because I wanted to work with the deck some first. But this evening, when I found her makers mark, so to speak--a more contemporary photo of a hand holding a coin, credited to Maree B. of Portland--on the Ace of Pentacles, I knew it was time already. This deck is so well made and thoughtful. The vintage photos are perfectly chosen and collaged, at least for my sensibility. Not too dark, not too dense, but still feeling, well, antiquarian. I love that the suits are color coded by element and that the images, while based on the RWS, are not clones, either. And I really appreciate the astrological correspondences too. Maree herself was wonderful... she messaged me right away with thanks and news of when she estimated arrival.

Arrived very quickly and have been recommending everyone I know to Maree's shop! Maree did incredible work with this deck. The amount of thought and detail that went into each card is incredible and the book is fantastic! This is my first tarot deck so I wasn't sure what to expect but after looking at several I decided I liked this set the best and I'm so glad I purchased these! I"m absolutely in love with this deck and I will be purchasing from Maree again. You will not be disappointed!

Calling all witchy women, wizardly men, magic-weavers & modern day mystics! Maree Bento has created a FANTASTIC Tarot deck, using a visually stunning array of vintage photography & found art collage. These cards are GORGEOUS, with a really special layer of historic narrative...she has deep-sea dived & resurfaced with an offering of lost gems, reframed! Ms. Maree is an adept and it shows in the construction of this deck. This is a unique collection. Highly recommend!

From the moment I opened my deck of cards and held them I felt real tingling in my hands. Maree has this uncanny ability to fully energize her decks with what I believe is wisdom, truth-telling, and power. I have used the Antiquarian Lenormand, and now the Antiquarian Tarot, extensively in my business as a feng shui practitioner (for clients when I need extra information), as well as in my own life. They are spot on. I have used many other decks in the past, but Maree's are by far my favorite because of the energy that is alive in them. Thank you, Maree, for these ancient beautiful tools of healing. I LOVE them.

Maree's Antiquarian Tarot deck is full of magic...The combination of archived photos, Maree's artistry and intuition not only gives me confidence in using this deck but garners excitement in me every time I draw a card and see a little more of life's mysteries revealed.
