FournierVictoria Frances Tarot Cards 12cm Black

Nice cards. But the suits are plain with just crosses, wands, goblets and roses, and the information is as swords, cups, wands and penticals. A bit confusing

Love them xx

First and foremost - this ad needs more pictures of the product.Direct quote from the description - "There are 78 fantastically detailed cards, each illustrated with the finest Gothic imagery. With a detailed instruction leaflet showing how to perform basic and advanced readings, this tarot deck is fantastic for beginners and adepts alike."The Major Arcana depict some very beautiful gothic imagery but at a glance - there's no symbolism there for any reader to interpret - never mind whether they are experienced or a beginner.The Minor Arcana from the Ace to the 10 are much in line with the original Marseille deck though in place of the traditional Cups, Swords, Wands and Pentacles, they depict two to nine Butterflies, Masks, Crosses and Roses. With no indication of which new suit corresponds with the traditional suits. That could be very confusing and off putting to someone starting their tarot journey.I suggest the seller amend the page and the description to include more images of the cards and explain that only the Majors and the actual court cards (Kings, Queens, Knights and Pages) have detailed illustrations as not every reader will be comfortable with trying to connect and use the spiritual meaning normally depicted.The cards may be better suited to readers who regularly employ the use of standard playing cards or those who have memorised the meanings of all of the Minors. I don't always go with the published meanings as I take the cards surrounding into consideration and draw on the symbolism from the artwork. In my mind this is a half finished deck. Will probably avoid a purchase of any further Fournier or Favole decks as I'd be wary of the minors in those too.

My only problems with this deck is that they don't tell you what wands, swords, penticals or cups are as in the book. The butterflies, masks crosses and Rose's are described as the traditional tarot. Which is which? Spelling mistakes. A lot.Barely in English.
