Critic Reviews

“"When A. E. Waite conceived of his deck with Pamela Colman Smith in the early 1900s, what he did is what the creators of The Fountain are doing today, over 100 years later. The Fountain imagery both simultaneously exhibits a timeless quality and also expresses where we are today in our spiritual journey as a global society." --Benebell Wenn, Author of The Tao of Craft , and The Holistic Tarot (North Atlantic Books) "First conceived as a collaborative art piece by artist Jonathan Saiz, author Jason Gruhl, and designer Andi Todaro, these 79 paintings with shimmery silver-gilded edges sing with a kind of hyper-modern cosmic intelligence. The mini guidebook interweaves classic tarot themes with sacred geometry, art, psychology and technology. All in all? It's a silvery, self-reflective, nuanced delight."-- WildUnknown.com "So lush and gorgeous. Every card feels like a refreshing spring rain, inviting you to step inside and dip yourself in its secrets. From the shiny, metallic box, to the beautiful, geometric cardbacks, to each thoughtfully-rendered painting, The Fountain Tarot has seduced me hook, line and sinker." --twosidestarot.com "Creat[es] an atmosphere that feels timeless and modern at the same time, as though the cards can truly tell the future by calling upon some kind of evolutionary, dawns-of time understanding that exists within all of us, and all around us..." -- Little Red Tarot UK, Beth Maiden”

This tarot is incredible.
I have been looking for over 20yrs for a set that I clicked with and these were IT. When they arrived (overnight!) the holographic box was gorgeous it has a hidden magick feel...opening it up you reveal the small info booklet that has a beautiful tactile feel. The reviews and flip throughs I saw never mentioned how good the book is. It's info is perfect for beginners. Insightful, well presented and there's an incredibly smart table about how to read ANY deck from Aces To Kings and each suit so quick and easy it will have any reader picking up a deck with the basic card guide in their head in no time.
Then you see the cards. Gorgeous. The silver foil on the spines is unique as normally its always gold so for those of us who resonate a little closer with the moon, you might get a little more of a feel just from the clear shine there. Then the matte finish of the cards is soooo smooth....they are just a beautiful FEELING deck in the hand. And a good size. The art work, while simple seeming at first has so much more depth and emotion on reflection within each image. Each suit has a subtle colour family as well. This is a beautiful deck for those who have sensory issues and get overwhelmed by colours, snappy sounds etc.
The single extra card that is included must be mentioned also. It can be interpreted several ways, having an eternity symbol on the card itself next to its name The Fountain. I have found it to be a wonderful card to keep in the deck, it adds a lot in my readings from the art itself to its meaning based on the cards at its side.

Beautifully presented product!
I normally don't keep the boxes - but in this case I do house the cards in the box they came in. The ribbon helps to get them out and the excellent book fits in there snugly too.

The cards themselves I have found to be generally easy to read even when the picture departs from the traditional imagery. The cards always seem appropriately placed and easy to read intuitively. I like the almost fine art aspect - but I also find myself reaching for my more colourful and 'bigger' cards for every other reading. I don't know if its just me but i feel there is a melancholy to this deck which suits sometimes - and other times not!
I do love it though and feel if you are drawn to the art you will not regret purchasing this deck...it reads true.
