Mythic Tarot
The Mythic Tarot is a wonderful new approach to tarot in my opinion. Each suit tells a story from Greek mythology. Swords tells the story of Orestes and the curse of the House of Atreus. Even so, the deck follows Rider Waite style of ordering and naming without deviation. All cards are illustrated, including the pips. suits are wands, cups, swords and pentacles. Court cards are page, knight, queen and king.
Cards measure about 3 by 5 inches and handle fairly well. I find the cards too flimsy and question their durability. I have not used my deck much, but the quality of the rest of the set was rather poor. I got the deck and book set, and the book fell apart rather quickly with little handling. I suspect the cards are of equally poor quality.
Poor quality aside, I highly recommend this deck for beginners. I think the story line will really help in learning cards. I also recommend this deck for collectors and those who love Greek mythology.
I sincerely hope that this deck and book set will be reprinted at a higher quality.
