Tarocchi della Corte di Merlino Gloria Ricci
Museo dei Tarocchi,
#256/500
This is one of those decks that I secretly wanted, but couldn't really justify paying the money for. Until one of those Reverse Auctions that The Tarot Garden is so good at! I have a big soft spot for tarots put out by the Museo dei Tarocchi. I have several on my lust wish, and most of them are on my want list.
This is a majors only deck and is based on the story of Merlin. The main characters are represented, though I can really attest to them being represented as well as they could be. The colors used by the artist are rich and deep, giving the cards a very lovely look. The cardstock is heavy and uncoated. The backs are hideous, but it seems to be the emblem of the Museo dei Tarocchi and is found on several of their decks.
I wasn't sure it would be useful as a reading deck, but it has such good artwork and the associations to the Merlin legends are adequate enough to make it readable. The biggest problem is that the cards are not coated, varnished, laminated or otherwise protected. One must ensure a clean work surface, clean and dry hands, and NO beverages. Being wet would ruin this deck.Rating: Collectible
