Papus Tarot Deck
Papus Tarot Deck follows the Marseilles style of numbering and naming, except that Papus has much more symbolism in my opinion. The High Priestess is the Popess and the Heirophant is the Pope. Justice is 8 and Strength is 11. I really like the coloring and the symbolism of this deck, athough I generally prefer a more sophisticated style of art. That's all a matter of taste, however. The pips have glyphs and symbols in addition to the number of their suits, so I find them more informative than typical Marseilles style decks.
Cards measure approximately 2.5 by 4.5 inches and handle easily. Card stock is ideal. I expect this deck will stad te test of time and handling.
I recommend this deck for those who love Marseilles style decks and are looking for one with a bit more depth. Of course, I also recommend it for collectors.
