In2it Tarot/Oracle (w/ keywords) Deck Review

User Level: Very Beginner Friendly

Contruction: 3.5/5

Shuffling: 4/5

Imagery: 4.5/5

Arguably one of my favorite decks to use, the In2it Tarot deck by in2itoracle.com, is one of my go to decks to do readings with, whether it's for myself or others. It's a very simple and clean deck with a great array of keywords to help anyone. Whether you have been doing tarot for years or are just beginning.

If you are looking to learn and just get started, this is near the top of my list for beginner friendly decks. I personally love this deck as I don't always remember all of the keywords or meanings behind the tarot cards. As there are over 70 cards to remember and then double that for reversals. For those looking to just get started, this is in my top 3 to learn with. There are a few extra cards, related to moon phases, eclipses, and the equinoxes. These can easily be omitted, however they're to integrate as they provide some timing cues which typical tarot cards don't do.

Going into the construction of the cards and their feel. I have smaller hands so getting a new deck can be a little scary as I like being able to shuffle my cards and have it not be too awkward. This deck is great for people with smaller hands, and it shuffles well, as the cards aren't too thick. For those are looking for a hearty cardstock, this deck might feel a little flimsy. Aside from the cardstock, the imagery is beautiful, doesn't fade, and the gold edging stays well with continued use and shuffling (mind - follow instructions for maintaining gold leafing in box).

The last part I wanted to go over was the imagery on the cards. For many readers, imagery is a huge part of reading tarot, and in the In2it tarot deck, the imagery is well thought out, closely follows the Rider-Waite Smith deck, while also adding additional meanings with the images used not associated with the Rider-Waite Smith deck which I personally love. The best part about this deck though is the inclusion of keywords on the cards help maintain the general themes but is also a great way to learn reversals as well as upright meanings of the cards.

The imagery is also the one point I personally have some difficulties with, as sometimes the images can be overpowered by the keywords, but that is why this deck also has versions with less keywords, if you'd like or no keywords as well. Personally, the keywords add more to than they take away for me, but this could be a challenge for people who have been reading tarot for years and they could get derailed if they are looking at keywords instead of channeling messages or being in the flow.

Overall, this is still one of my favorite go-to decks and I highly recommend it to everyone who is either learning, has been doing tarot for a while or just struggles with remembering things.
