A beautiful deck that is very well presented in a hard case two-part box with matching ribbon for easy removal of the guidebook and deck inside.  The guidebook that comes with it is a nice, hefty book that is chock full of information, each card not only comes with an upright and reversed meanings, but also includes keywords and the corresponding stone/crystal and their meanings, the deck includes, angels, animals, crystals and has a healing theme for those looking to do some healing work with their deck.  The cards themselves are edged in black to match the card backs and feels like linen cardstock to me and is a dream to shuffle.  The minor arcana cards also include keywords which makes it an excellent deck for the beginner tarot enthusiast as well.

If you are a fan of Anita Inverarity’s beautifully intricate folk art style, then you will adore this deck. She offers us her signature colorful, magical drawings, rich with symbolic representation along with a thick guidebook that walks us through every piece of it. The guidebook contains folklore, symbology, crystals, elements, numerology, and divinatory meanings. Everything you could ever hope for to layer into a reading. Nothing has been missed, everything is packaged beautifully and with the new linen stock with the painted edges which have quickly become my new favorite offering from US Games Systems. These cards give us an aesthetic jolt in tandem with a soothing tactile experience. The keywords, or what really seem more like titles, on the minor arcana could be a bit confusing for a new reader, but the classical titles are also still on the cards so that should mitigate any confusion. I think this could be a fabulous set for any reader to have in their collection.

The Universal Folk Tarot instantly pulled me in with its gorgeous artwork, however the book has continued to hold my attention. I love a themed deck and this tarot deck is a beautiful example of that. The Universal Folk Tarot is not only rich in the tarot meanings but it also is rich in Folk Tales. The book is thick and made of such high-quality premium material. The book offers keywords and crystal associations with each card but also a story of the artwork, the folk tale and an upright and reversed write up. I love that each card has a beautiful clean bottom with the names and a phrase or keyword to accompany them. As someone that is getting older and my eyesight isn't what it used to be, that feature makes it so much easier for me to read. The colors used in this deck are very beautiful and earthy, really eliciting a feeling of trust and security within the reader. The cardstock is a dreamy linen with a beautiful back and it came with a mat gilding to match the backs. I feel like there were no expenses spared on the production of this deck and book and it is a valuable addition to my tarot collection. The creator and artist, Anita Inverarity really did a wonderful job on this deck.

So you know where I’m coming from, I’m a periodic “serious dabbler” in tarot and oracle decks and own around 100.
The substantial, black-edged cards are pleasant to hold and shuffle. The wonderfully detailed artwork echoes the symbolism of the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck. Minor arcana cards are given a subtitle, which I found that I like (ex. King of Swords/The King of Reason, Two of Cups/Eternity, and Eight of Pentacles/Jackalope Garden). There is some color diversity among the people as well as some gender neutrality.
The guidebook is quite thick (243 pp) with around 2.5 pages about each card and a decently sized color reproduction. She gives keywords; crystal, elemental and numerological correspondences; and a quick list of key object symbolism. The well-written, detailed descriptions point out lots of symbolism and interpretations. Read this part slowly to let the energy of each card really sink into you. Upright and reversed messages follow to help you quickly place the card in the context of your reading. I generally don’t use reversed interpretations, but hers are worth reading for the advice, even if the card is upright.
Overall, the set is fairly large and heavy, not one that I’ll casually throw in my purse (though I have). The production quality and design are what you’d expect from a company with so many decks under their belt. The guidebook is larger than the cards, which sit in a recessed insert under it. A ribbon helps you lift both from the sturdy box.
Of course finding a deck whose art and guidebook resonate with you is a deeply personal thing, but I think it says something that I got this just for the art and have found myself eager to use it as a regular go-to deck.

The deck comes in a beautifully presented sturdy box with the Nine of Cups (The Wishmaker) on the cover. The box is also adorned on the sides with lovely images and excerpts from other cards in the deck. As I explored the cards, I was struck by their rich beauty. It has representatives of peoples (majority female) from all cultures, colours, and geographically dispersed places with accompanying folk stories. These are melded into interpretations, descriptions, and meanings, including upright and reversed meanings. All the Minor Arcana cards have keywords under the card titles, and these seem to be folk story lessons applied to that card’s meaning. The result I felt is that when reading, linking the story with the cards and answering the question is a little like creating an earth-based spirit parable within its storytelling construction.

Of course, the guidebook was included in this exploration, which has three of Anita’s favouritespreads that can be used for ‘meditation, inspiration, and affirmations’. So, after absorbing all the amazing cards and artfully written guidebooks, I could see there was ‘weight’ to this deck! I knew I am looking at a significant component of Anita’s life’s work here. The guidebook wants to be a tome, and the whole package is an expansive system of divination and self-exploration. Plus, it can be used easily with her Universal Folk Oracle, which I was inspired to buy a little later. Anita has produced what I feel is a loving gift of personal knowledge for us all. In these works (each card is a work), she expresses her deep understanding and vision of the integrated human experience with nature, the earth, and spirit.

In the Universal Folk Tarot, Anita Inverarity has created a special Tarot deck of exceptional beauty. I could sense emotions in every card of this deck like it was a box of deeply personal belongings that I should treat gently and respectfully. Having it in my home was like enjoying the company of a special guest. I am sure the Universal Folk Tarot would be an equally special inclusion in any Tarot enthusiast’s home.
