The kit contains, as promised, a manual and Thoth cards the size of regular playing cards, not the bigger "tarot" version. The quality of the cards is excellent and the visuals truly stunning. Crowley's vision turned into cards by Lady Harris offers rich symbolism and magickal correspondence to kabbalah, thelema and other mystery traditions (a hint: you'll get a lot more out of these cards if you're even distantly familiar with some of their concepts). You might want to get a box or a pouch for your cards to keep them in good shape as the deck only has a plastic wrapping around it. The manual included contains colourful pictures of the cards with both general interpretations as well as "custom" interpretations for love, happiness and success. The manual provides different spreads for different occasions as well as an astrological correspondence chart for the cards. Now then, the manual probably works best for beginners and of those of the right-hand path - it's rather packed with empowering and uplifting positiveness (the manual itself begins with words "Welcome to love, happiness and success!"). When there is a hint of darker energies (like feelings considered negative), there is also a suggestion on what to do and how to act, which in my personal opinion tends to undermine a very important part of self-reflection, growth and life in general - when no true credit and objective attention is given to the things we don't want to see in ourselves, there will be no growth. True happiness doesn't come from trying to hush things up and obsessively focusing on the positive as if it was the only right way to go. The meaning of the cards is much deeper than the manual suggests, though it does grasp some basic meanings nicely. Personally I'd suggest a different manual if you want a more balanced view on the cards, but on an introductory level they work just fine as long as you remember to trust your intuition first and foremost. All in all, this is a good buy, the cards themselves more than the manual (which has its uses, depending on what you are looking for). I think I'm going to have blast with the deck, the smaller size works just fine for me and I enjoy the pictures and their symbolism a lot.Read full review
