 I received my copy of the Soulworkers Tarot today.  I think it is easy to be unkind about a deck based on the person's motivation and inspiration. After all, it is just a matter of language. Some people might see their inspiration coming from their perception of a spiritual world,  while others might say they are resonating with the collective unconscious, and others will say they are inspired by their dreams - it is all the same in the end.

I found the Soulworkers Tarot quite original in its conception of some cards. For example the two female arcana of the High Priestess and the Empress, present the forms emerging out the landscape. The Devil is rather original with the figure of a little devil trying to pull the central figure off of the straight chequered path into a ravine. The Tower is quite unusual, with a large rectangular block of stone, like a standing stone, being split by a bolt of lightning so that only one section falls away. The Moon is also rather fine with three moons in the sky and the two dogs baying at the moon moved to one side, so that the central figure of the crab in the sea is given prominence.

I really find the artwork of this deck quite appealing. It is a little bit reminiscent of the artwork style of Joelle Balle's Le Tarot d'Or.
