Yeah the durability is pretty solid. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and the gold still looks good, no chipping or fading. Way better than my plastic decks that always end up feeling sticky after a while.
The minimal design could work well for meditation practice. Without all the extra details, you might find it easier to concentrate on the card meanings themselves. Just something to consider.
This deck has such a nice shuffle to it. Really smooth. I like how clear the artwork is, the symbolism is straightforward enough that I don’t need to constantly reference interpretations. And yeah, the gold detailing is pretty.
My only real worry is whether that gold will last. I’ve been wondering if it’ll wear off with frequent use. Has anyone been using this deck regularly who can weigh in?
Heads up if you read tarot outside, learned this when my cat knocked over my Golden Threads deck in the garden. Those reflective gold designs are brutal in direct sunlight. The glare makes it almost impossible to see what you’re doing. And apparently cats think shiny cards = new toy, so there’s that too. Matte finish decks work way better for outdoor readings.
