RYVE Awaken Tarot Cards with Guide Book - Modern Tarot Deck Inspired by The Rider Waite Tarot Deck - Tarot Cards for Beginners and Professionals, Beginner Tarot Decks with Guidebook, Tarot Cards Deck

This is a great deck! I love that it uses the traditional RWS symbolism with a more modern and diverse twist. The cardstock is a dream to shuffle. It's high-quality and durable while still being flexible and springy enough for riffle shuffling. I have small hands and struggle a bit with standard tarot size, so if this company came out with a bridge-size pocket version of this deck, it would be absolutely perfect. I see that they already came out with a borderless version, so here's hoping they continue to iterate on an already fabulous deck. :)

My starter deck I still use. Haven’t moved on to another one. Love the diverse pictures as a WOC I liked this deck and it continues to work for me

This is a wonderful RWS clone deck. It gender bends the archetypes and brings in modern clothing and colors. She also includes important symbolism that many clones ignore, like having the Lily and the Rose together on the cards that feature them. The card names and boarders are gold, which is a nice touch, and the cards are on a smooth, thick card stock. The guidebook has a decent primer for the new reader, my only complaint is that she doesn’t include reversal meanings, but I usually use apps and more in depth books for card meanings anyway.This would be a great deck for a beginner.

I don't use this deck as much as I thought I would but I like the diverse imagery. It's great quality and the size and color are true to the picture. It's a good deck for the money.

The Awaken Tarot deck from @my.ryve is a modern take on the traditional tarot deck. Featuring beautiful, inclusive artwork, this deck holds 79 high quality tarot cards (one more than a traditional deck, consisting of two gender neutral cards for The Lovers) that depict people of different genders, ethnicities, and appearances. The deck also comes with a guidebook, which is helpful for beginners such as myself.As a child, my mum always had tarot decks around the house. I’ve always wanted to learn more about what each card meant and how they were used.As an adult, this deck has come into my life at the right time. The guidebook has been an extremely helpful hand in teaching me what each card means and how tarot is used for guidance.While my understanding is still very infantile, I have already begun looking at things in a different light. I feel more positive and centered, understanding things from my past and present and going as far as to gain guidance to things I want in my future.

I enjoy this deck! The energy in it is very light and straightforward but not harsh or passive. A happy middle ground. The card stock is nice but the finish of the card is slippery especially while new. It’s the type of thing where you may have to lick your finger before plucking unless you’re a person that flips the cards every single time.

Love the art work and very easy to read.

I’ve been collecting tarot decks since I was a kid. My parents are both therapists and also we’re meditation teachers, so going to our local shops to look at different decks, books and crystals was a common thing we did.My first tarot when I was still in early grade school, was the Enchanted Tarot back, back in the 90’s.As you can imagine I’ve built quite a collection at this point. As an artist, the artwork and design of the deck is quite important for me; the cards have to feel good in the hands, and these do.I absolutely love the cardstock, it feels like my Inner Hue Oracle deck, but with thinner mass market cardstock. Very smooth and velvety. The artwork is very much centered around the RWS/RWS clone deck, and follows that system.This isn’t in my top 10 favorite decks I own, but I still enjoy it and have continued using it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes RWS decks and likes to see diversity in their decks; also newbie friendly.
