The cards in the Pagan Tarot Deck are 7.25 inches in length and 4 inches in width. They handle pretty well while shuffling. However, the back of the cards is not reversible – in that, it shows the image of the ‘World’ card from the deck, and thus one can easily make out a reversed card while one pulls them out for a reading.

The myth of the Grail was born with the Arthurian cycle, where the search for the Cup of Life was the search for divine perfection of the chivalrous ideal. The legend, from the Orient, tells of the Grail’s arrival in Europe with the Templars, to be united forever with medieval mysticism, and finally to be carved into symbols of the Tarot.

This deck is smaller than most (3 3/4″ X 2 1/4″). The art is simple line drawings as the deck was designed to be colored by the user. Though I have not tried coloring my deck, I think the shining coating on the cards might be a problem. the small size also makes coloring difficult as I learned on the B.O.T.A. deck. The art is rather good. Read more The Rolla Nordic Tarot deck

This is a photographic tarot done by photographer Pino Settanni. The Major Arcana and the Court Cards are photographs of human models. All of the models are female, except for the model in The Fool. The Fool is portrayed by Italian actor Mario Scaccia. The Minor Arcana are basically pips. The human form is represented in most cards, but the model is an artist’s wooden human form. These forms are painted in bright colors and posed in various ways around the symbol for the suit. The photographic work used in this deck is quite eye catching. Read more The Settanni Tarot deck
The Sun and Moon Tarot card deck is created by the artist Vanessa Decort. This deck has images that seem like they are drawn for stories and imaginative journeys, and is really an awesome and beautiful deck. Although I am personally a big fan of Rider-Waite-Smith styled decks, I found myself liking the imagery on this deck because I felt as if these images were pretty familiar to me!
