Details of the Merlin Tarot
Solandia's Summary: The Merlin Tarot has 78 cards based on the Arthurian legends. The reordered major arcana, aces, and court cards are beautifully drawn, but the suits (Birds are Swords, Serpents are Wands, Fish are Cups, and
Beasts are Disks) have very spare pip cards. They are disappointingly repetitive and difficult to interpret intuitively.
