"Just last night I was doing a reading for myself with the Illuminated Tarot and feeling so blessed by the luminous energy and amazing flexible smooth feeling of the cards. Thank you again for creating such wonderful cards! The artistry and spirit of each card are so wonderful plus the physical quality of each card is extraordinary. Sometimes I shuffle the cards of the Illuminated Tarot for an extended time before drawing any cards to extend the soothing experience from holding and moving the cards in my hands. The quality and feeling of these cards are profoundly more exquisite than other decks in my experience as a collector of hundreds of decks." Jude Morse

"Dear Carol, My great box came!!!! Thank you. I will have to thank you double for the beautiful ptgs. I put the mandala of the 2nd chakra on my altar when I meditate. Now I have an even larger reminder and sort of where the whole universe came from you know. The smaller Illuminated Tarot fits perfectly. I love them both. Now will have to study astrology to figure out the Astrotarot system. You are one smart lady. Hope your box came too.  Love." Elizabeth Cherry Owen, Louisiana

"Dear Carol, The cards came in today and I can't take my eyes off of them! I could just sit and stare at them all day into the night because they are so breathtakingly beautiful! I just  want to say thank you for blessing us all with your very special gifts. I love the Rider - Waite cards but was never particularly impressed with the colors so I checked out the Universal Waite deck and the colors are pretty yet, not a deck that I would ever say was my favorite. Then, most other Tarot cards are too advanced for me at this
 time,but  now I can honestly say the Illuminated Tarot is my favorite and special deck and the one I will use the most and take extra special care of! I also want to thank you for the extra cards and pins you sent. I am truly appreciative. Please add me to your website and or newsletter. I will be ordering your chakra deck next, so I'll let you know when I am able to do so.
Bright Blessings" Sheila Tatangelo, Rhode Island

"They're here and they're WONDERFUL!!!!!! I'm so grateful for these decks and I especially thank you, Dirk, for making my special Oak Tarot for me. I could not be more thrilled! I was alone with my dogs in the house when I began looking at the new decks and I was making so much noise going "Ooooooh, ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!" that my dogs were looking at me like, "What's with you?" The decks that come from Gillabel-Herzer---it just don't get no better than that!!! When the Brain-Heart deck can be ordered I'll include an order for the new book on the singing bowls as well---sounds very interesting. Well, again, thank you so much for these perfectly beautiful and uplifting decks that will mean so much to me in my study, meditation, and play. The first deck I got from you was the large deck of the Chakra Tarot. I keep it right at hand and never does so much as a week go by without my spending time with this deck. It was the first time I had ever seen a deck by Carol Herzer and after looking at the cards for the first time I can remember that I was doing dishes and I felt as if my head were swimming, I just felt full of the colors, as if I were floating inside. I thought to myself that I had never really known color used in this particular way, as a language itself. Keep working and fighting the good fight! Till later."  D. S. B., California

"Carol - Your decks arrived today. I am sure you have heard this repeatedly - they are breathtaking. Just lovely. Right now I am overwhelmed. The colors are so intense and inviting - I am just drawn into the cards. The bags are lovely too. Thank you for the prints. Rather than frame them, I am going to put them into the book I am making. If I may, I will write again soon when I have had a chance to look at them more slowly. Thank you." Alma Puissegur, Kentucky

"Dirk, your tarots are very interesting, unique, striking and evocative.Work like yours, Guido, Carol and many other creative, talented individuals is what makes the tarot not only a set of unique pictorial ideas, but the threshold of a wonderful journey as well. Nothing can compare to these carefully made, independently produced tarot decks. There is nothing as special as receiving a set of tarot images directly from the hands of the artist. The energy that is part of the deck is intact and a gift to be experienced." Paula Gibby, Maryland

"I received my tarot decks today...they are breathtakingly beautiful!!!  I own and use many wonderful decks, but yours are by far the most amazing.  Thank you for the extra goodies and the special tarot bags you made for me.  I will treasure them forever.  I have enjoyed using the Rider-Waite deck, but your version adds such magnificent depth to the images...I may never use my old deck again.  I look forward to ordering your Chakra Mandala Cards and your Chakra Arcana Tarot Cards in the near future. Many blessings of peace and joy to you.
