I really like the way it looks – Illuminated Rider-Waite was the way to go (same pictures, more vibrant coloration). Not as happy with the tactile quality of the cards (too plastic-y), but that’s what I get for buying over the Net. Plus they are brand-new. Likely they will feel better the more that I handle them.

At the suggestion of a book I got from the library, I am going to begin a journal today, meditating on each card and writing about the feeling/thoughts I get from it as well as studying the traditional interpretations.
