Details of the MerryDay Tarot
Solandia's Summary: The MerryDay Tarot is a magical, fantastical, incredible tarot deck, mixing fantasy and reality. The artwork has its basis in the Rider-Waite, but is filled with detail, dragons and natural elements. The suits are multi-cultural and all associations with formal religion in the deck have been removed.

Excerpt of the
MerryDay Tarot review by Kim Huggens: I acquired this lovely deck a few months ago from
