About this item
- A reworking of the Enchanted Tarot by the same authors, the Zerner-Farber Tarot deck uses more vibrant colours and
- removes the borders from the cards so more of the quilted, fabric tapestry artwork can be seen.

Reviews
Something strange with this deck is that the suits are not conventional. Pentacles, Swords, Wands and Hearts. The Heart suit obviously corresponds to the Water suit in conventional decks. Judging from the meaning of Water, Hearts are also appropriate. I did not find this to be a problem. I now have a hard time, though, using decks that have the Water suit. Easy to switch, not so easy to switch back, I guess.
The cards, unlike some decks I have seen are very happy. Love is a strong influence in this deck. You can tell that this deck was a labor of love for the cards. What else would make anyone create 78 tapisries of this quality? I like this deck for beginners, and people who tend to take the lighter side of readings. I know that I prefer to deal with a small light issue rather than a deep theological problem when I am reading for other people, and this deck really puts forth that feeling.
