Deck Specifics Notes
     

Medicine Woman Tarot

 

   

Medieval Scapini

 

By Luigi Scapini.

Available from Tarot Garden.

Suits are: Wands, Swords, Cups, Coins.

Minors are illustrated, and courts are: King, Queen, Knight, and Page.

Justice is 8 and Strength is 11.

 

My second deck ever, and still one of my favorites! It has the look of the Visconti decks with it's gold coloring and medieval-style characters.

However, some of the actions and themes depicted are very modern. There's also a good dose of humor in the deck! The Little White Booklet is important if you want to know who the artist patterned some of the characters after. For example, there's one card that depicts Rasputin, and another shows the artist himself.

 

Minchiate Tarot

 

   

Mini-Connolly Deck

 

   

Miss Cleo's Tarot Power Deck

 

Out-of-Print.

 

 

Morgan Greer Tarot Deck and Book Set

cover

 Also available in other languages:
Morgan Greer Tarot Deck-Spanish

Morgan Greer Tarot Deck-German

Morgan Greer Tarot Deck-Italian

 

Suits are: Wands, Swords, Cups, Pentacles.

Minors are illustrated, and Courts are: King, Queen, Knight, Page.

Justice is 11 and Strength is 8.

This is an excellent Rider-Waite-Smith clone for someone who wants the RWS set-up and meanings but with more engaging illustrations. Many of the cards feature close-up views of the characters faces, much like the Aquarian. The colors are very warm, although they may appear too yellow in tone for some. They are slightly wider than the RWS deck, and borderless.
