I treated myself to this luxurious deck and it was worth it. The detail of each card, how it relates to the classic rendition of Tarot, and how it incorporates elements of alchemy, astrology, and other esoteric traditions, is so captivating. This is my personal deck and I am very excited to explore the greater implications of such careful design and understanding of these systems. I found the astrological connections to be revolutionary and relevant to how the Hero's/Fool's Journey is played out everywhere in these sacred traditions. The booklet has been informative and easily guides you to understanding what the artist envisioned.
It is fair to say that I highly recommend this deck! You will not be disappointed. :)

This deck is absolutely beautiful and feels quality. The finish is luxurious and the guide book has comprehensive meanings. I like to use this alongside the Arcanum Vitae to expand the reading in terms of exploring the themes. Highly recommend.

Rebecca
I absolutely love these cards, the pictures don't do them justice, they feel luxurious, they're thick and sturdy yet they look delicate and beautiful. I'm so glad I ordered them, I have really struggled to find decks that resonate with me but I ordered these and the obsidian deck and I really wanted the omen deck but sadly I can't find it anywhere to purchase. The work thats gone into these is amazing you can feel that these decks were created with passion for the craft. I will be buying every variant of these as and when they're released. Thank you Maria for creating something so beautiful and unique I'm absolutely loving these!
Saira

I bought this deck with Arcanam Vitae set. I play with major arcana cards from AV and this deck together every single day. The deck gives me a new insight and view point to improve my feelings and release the blocks. With the detailed booklet, very easy to get used to.

Deck is out for delivery 3 days later than the EDD which was December 11-23, which sucks because this was a christmas gift, so I wasn't able to gift this to them on Christmas, but it should arrive today (26th) and I'll just have to give the recipient this item whenever I see them next, which.. who knows when that will be. I want to stress that this DID NOT happen because of the seller, she was prompt in shipping this item to me and it was shipped when it was supposed to ship. The seller is great.

I got this deck through the Kickstarter campaign and I immediately knew it would be the most precious & complex deck in my collection. Every card shows a unique design and astrological correspondences, giving you more layers of meaning. Plus the guidebook is fantastic, it's very helpful and it has all you need to decipher the cards.

The Opal Omen is probably the fanciest tarot deck I have now, I've called it the Sun Deck because I prefer to use it in natural lighting more than anything to get that gold and rainbow holo to show at its best. This is also the only deck I have with astrological correspondences added, so that was a great extra for me. The pink edging was a surprise for me, it's incredibly glittery but I like it. I also appreciate that the box isn't too big and is easy to open. The only thing is that I have to shuffle these cards gingerly, it's one where I'm not likely to split the deck or fan it, just really gentle shuffling. I'm gonna baby this deck as long as I can. An impulse buy I don't regret!

I've had my deck for about a month now and love it so much!! The cards have a nice quality of cardstock, so they don't bend easy and each card has a pink lineing along each side. The booklet that comes with the deck has not only the card meanings but also the astrological influences and info!

I just received my Opal Omen deck and it is so lovely! The minimalist symbolic illustrations combined with the foil effect make for breathtakingly elegant cards, and I also love the updated symbology and wording on The Fool, The Hierophant, Wheel of Fortune, and Temperance. Thank you so much for this work of art!

I couldn't decide between this deck and the amethyst deck so I bought both and am so glad I did. These opal cards are so pretty and seeing as they are not going to be restocked I didn't want to miss an opportunity! The foiling is so beautiful and it adds just the right amount of sparkle without blinding you. I love these cards and can't wait to use them!

Opal Omens is my second Studio Artemy deck and it is simply gorgeous. The colors, quality, and overall look and feel radiate elegance and magick. These cards are truly a treasure and look even better in person! I love the coral pink edges, the rainbow holo gold foil, and the color scheme. The cards have a great weight to them and seem quite sturdy - well worth the price. If you're on the fence, just get the deck. My only reservation was that I already have a lot of decks but this one is too good to pass up! It makes me happy just looking at it. Also, I should add that Maria went out of her way to ship me a new deck after mine was delayed for quite awhile due to the Royal Mail strike. I really appreciate her doing that! She is always sweet in communications, and I also love all of her content on IG. :) Overall I highly recommend everything Studio Artemy!!!!

I adore all editions of the Fortuna Tarot, and this special edition Opal Omen deck is no exception. I love that Maria adopts a playful, whimsical approach with this deck, using a lighter cream background, coral edging, and beautiful watercolour accents on the backs of the cards. I reach for this deck when I want to engage with my inner child, it feels so nurturing and is the perfect companion for this work. As with the previous editions, Maria has poured so much love and care into this deck. Every detail has been carefully attended to, down to the texture and finish of the cards, the weight of the card stock selected, and the beautiful companion box. I can't recommend this deck highly enough, it is gorgeous and is a beautiful addition to your tarot practice.

El diseƱo de las cartas es espectacular, muy sugerente y menos figurativo que otras barajas clĆ”sicas, lo que me da mĆ”s libertad de interpretaciĆ³n y me permite jugar con la imaginaciĆ³n, la intuiciĆ³n y el subconsciente. AdemĆ”s, aĆŗna mis dos formas favoritas de magia: el tarot y la astrologĆa. El paquete llegĆ³ en perfecto estado y en el tiempo previsto; lamentablemente, en Correos tuve que pagar una cantidad (bastante elevada) para retirarlo, a pesar de haber pagado ya los gastos de envĆo. No sĆ© si es algĆŗn tema de aduanas espaƱolas, pero me extraƱa no haber recibido ningĆŗn aviso de que eso pudiera pasar, ni lo he visto escrito en otras reseƱas. Por eso querĆa dejar constancia. Incidente aparte, gracias MarĆa por tu increĆble trabajo.

Revised 1/30/2023: shipping was a major issue. But did receive after they reshipped then. The cards a a little hard to shuffle because the stick but over time they will get better. The color change isnāt as much as they show but still a nice deck. I would recommend but just be patient with shipping and Customer Service. I
canāt rate this yet because I havenāt received my order that was placed on December 5th, 2022. I sent an email two weeks ago they said it was due to a strike going on. My tracking says shipping company is still wanting on order to be picked up. Honestly not very happy itās taken this long.

I backed the Opal Omen tarot deck on Kickstarter since the artwork, colours, and holographic gold foil were so beautiful and eye-catching.
This deck is amazing in person, and its been a joy to use. The card-stock is high quality, and the guidebook is very informative. You can tell there was a lot of love and magic poured into it.
Thank you Maria, and thank you to the packing elf for packing the Kickstarter orders!
