I had been looking for this Alice in wonderland tarot for a while and
no wonder I had trouble finding it, it’s out of print. But luckily one of Amazon’s vendor’s had a deck for sale. Love the deck hated the “out of print” price.

I am an extreme fan of Alice in Wonderland and that is first and foremost the reason why I “had” to have this deck.
I am not a fan of the traditional Rider-Waite cards, so I will not be using this cards too often for card readings, BUT, I found it very funny as to how the characters of Alice in Wonderland were incorporated into the traditional RW style. Even more amusing was the fact that the Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles had been changed in the oh so obviously Alice in Wonderland imagery of Hats, Flamingoes, Peppermills, and Oysters. Still, as the traditional imagery of the Tarot is used, this deck will work for begginers.
Interestingly though, it’s quite remarkable as to how so many of the Alice characters fit very well with the Major Arcana. Some examples are:
The Fool~The Mad Hatter
Death~The Queen of Hearts
The Hermit~The Dormouse
The Devil~The Jabberwocky
Wheel of Fortune~The circle of animals that are running around after Alice’s flood of tears
Judgement~The White Rabbit
The more familiar you are with the Alice stories, the more you will laugh as you recognize the scenes on every card. This is a definite must for any fan of Alice in Wonderland, even if you don’t read Tarot cards.

Wonderful deck for those who love Alice In Wonderland and Tarot Cards in general. It might take a while to get used to them because of the unique imagery.

I bought this deck because I’m a fan of Alice. The pictures are based on the book, not Disney, so they incorporate characters like the Duchess, and the lion and unicorn. It is a Rider-Waite variant, and it would probably confuse people because the suits are different(peppermills, flamingos, hats, and oysters), as mentioned in other reviews. The illustrations are not quite what I expected, but are still very cool. If you collect tarot cards, or are an Alice fan, you’d appreciate these. Otherwise, it would be best to get another deck. I personally, however, love them.

A very nice addition to all collectors. This deck is based on Lewis Carroll’s classic childrens tale. It is not the Disney version, however. The illustrations are based on the original renderings by Sir John Tenniel. This is a devoted and loving tribute to the classic. It fits well within the system of classical Rider-Waite Tarot.
This set works well for younger “Alice” fans. All of the major trumps translate well to the traditional symbolism. The Mad Hatter as the Fool, Alice as the High Priestess, the Queen of Hearts as Death, and the White Rabbit as Judgement. All resonate with the architypes accordingly. One familiar with the story can relate rather well.
Carroll used a psychological approach to his strange fable and it has since become a perennial classic through the years. I was personally confused and frightened at times with the story. Seeing it translated in a tarot deck is more effective for myself.
As for reading with it, the suite cards are changed to peppermills/wands/clubs, flamingos/swords/spades, hats/cups/hearts, and oysters/pentacles/diamonds. This can be confusing to some. The colors are not as vibrant as one would expect.The Rider-Waite based palette is paid tribute to. If you have a preference for Lewis Carroll’s work, then this is a tarot deck for you. Children would also get some inspiration from this deck. Otherwise, there are many other places to begin.
