The Fountain Tarot: Illustrated Deck And Guidebook
"Not your average tarot deck. Takes awhile to get used to, but consistent use and practice help to achieve more accuracy in readings."
— Deevine (4/5)
Beautiful and amazing quality
"J'adore ces cartes de tarot! Elles sont vraiment belles et inspirantes. La boîte, le côté des cartes qui sont argentées, les dessins de l'artiste. . . Tout est de très bonne qualité. Je ne pense pas que vous allez regretter votre achat."
— Cookie (5/5)
My Witchy Heart Loves It
"Very pretty. I felt drawn to this deck almost magnetically and it’s been giving me very strong readings every time I use it."
— Morgan (5/5)
3 star
"Beautiful deck and I love the concept but the guidebook leaves a lot to be desired."
— Tamster (3/5)
Beautiful
"This deck is beautiful. The artwork is very useful in readings. The feel of the deck is good as well, slightly smaller, but I'm fine with that."
— Monica (5/5)
Gorgeous deck
"Nice quality deck with beautiful imagery. The cards are a tiny bit shorter than standard tarot cards, and thicker. The edges are gilded silver. The box it comes in has a magnetic snap, good for traveling. The little guidebook that comes with the deck is more helpful than the usual ones decks come with."
— Jojo (5/5)
Sorry I do not like it
"I put 3 stars to be nice, I do not like the deck. It is quite small, which does not enhance the images. I do not consider the artistry good. I believe people have been waiting for such a deck but it does not mean that it is minimalist at its best. I will return my deck and i must say, I was expecting more with all the buzz it has created. I am happy others like it but, as always, taste differ for each individual."
— Lulue (3/5)
Exquisite Quality
"I was never interested in this deck. I did not like the artwork, and in spite of how much others loved the deck, the more I saw of it, the less I liked it. Then I was in Chapters browsing the New Age section, and there was one lone Fountain Tarot deck on the shelf. I was strongly drawn to it, to the point where I picked it up and hung onto it while I finished browsing the section. Then I shook my head and put it back - why on earth was I picking it up when I didn't like it? For the next few days, it kept creeping back into my thoughts, and then I spotted in online for the lowest price I've seen yet. I was still feeling drawn to it so decided to buy it. I am still not a huge fan of the artwork, although I don't dislike it as much as I used to. But the energy of the deck is incredible, and the card stock is exquisite. I didn't think it would be very easy to read with, so I left it aside for a few days. Then I decided to try it out. I was amazed at how beautifully this deck read, and again, the energy was incredible. Of course that beautiful card stock also makes it wonderful to work with. I am so pleased that I purchased this deck, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it in the future."
— Alireza (5/5)
Shiny
"I bought these on a whim and am completely in love with how great they look. They area smaller and the package is the size of my hand, it's great for traveling and taking to parties."
— Robyn (5/5)
Definite Buy
"The box is high quality, so is the card paper, line in beautiful reflective silver. The art is modern and beautiful, fitting for the style of card. I'd reccommend buying it on the indigo site instead of at the store, the price drop online is very noticeable."
— Paige B. (5/5)

“When A. E. Waite conceived of his deck with Pamela Colman Smith in the early 1900s, what he did is what the creators of The Fountain are doing today, over 100 years later. The Fountain imagery both simultaneously exhibits a timeless quality and also expresses where we are today in our spiritual journey as a global society.” —Benebell Wenn, Author of The Tao of Craft, and The Holistic Tarot (North Atlantic Books)
“First conceived as a collaborative art piece by artist Jonathan Saiz, author Jason Gruhl, and designer Andi Todaro, these 79 paintings with shimmery silver-gilded edges sing with a kind of hyper-modern cosmic intelligence. The mini guidebook interweaves classic tarot themes with sacred geometry, art, psychology and technology. All in all? It’s a silvery, self-reflective, nuanced delight.”— WildUnknown.com
"So lush and gorgeous. Every card feels like a refreshing spring rain, inviting you to step inside and dip yourself in its secrets. From the shiny, metallic box, to the beautiful, geometric cardbacks, to each thoughtfully-rendered painting, The Fountain Tarot has seduced me hook, line and sinker.” —twosidestarot.com
“Creat[es] an atmosphere that feels timeless and modern at the same time, as though the cards can truly tell the future by calling upon some kind of evolutionary, dawns-of time understanding that exists within all of us, and all around us…” — Little Red Tarot UK, Beth Maiden
JONATHAN SAIZ's paintings and sculptures are in private and commercial collections worldwide and are exhibited in the US and the UK. His last series, ALKAHEST, was created during eight hermetic months on the Greek island of Mykonos. A recent commission from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science allowed him to explore his interest in the shrouded and mysterious side of history, studying ancient Roman frescoes and scarab beetles, also expanding his love for the visual and energetic possibilities of crystals and minerals.
JASON GRUHL is the former executive director and founder of The Joshua School (a school for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Developmental Disabilities in Boulder and Denver, CO) and an educational consultant. Jason holds a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in English and Psychology, and dedicates his life to self-discovery through meditation and reflection.
ANDI TODARO's graphic design projects have taken her across the US and into Europe: from her recent work with MSNBC in NYC for their coverage of "The Feast," to her designs for the "Belle Epoque" and "Bollywood" Galas of the American School of Paris.
