About the Deck
Before this deck, most tarot pip cards showed only a row of cups, swords, wands or coins. Smith gave every card, Minor Arcana included, a full scene with figures and symbols, so a reader can interpret a card from its picture alone. That is why most tarot books are written around it, and why it is the deck many readers learn on.
