The record
Fairy Tarots is a whimsical set of cards based on fairies. In reality they look rather like gnomes with wings attached – the artwork is very like Mr. Lupatelli’s other work, Tarot of the Gnomes. If you can get around this, though, it’s a beautiful deck with entertaining artwork. The colors are rich and enchanting, making this deck a pleasure to view. There are titles on all cards in the Lo Scarabeo manner, depicting English, Italian, Spanish, French, and German languages. This can be helpful if you’re a new reader, or distracting if you prefer no writing at all on your cards. The LWB, which is 63 pages, is also in the multiple languages, making it easy to look up keywords if you need. Some of the cards have names that aren’t standard Rider-Waite style – The Elf for The Fool, The Dryad for Justice, The Oread for Wheel of Fortune, The Sylph for Temperance, and The Troll for The Devil. In the minor arcana, the pages are knaves, and the suits change also : Bells = Pentacles, Leaves = Swords, Acorns = Wands, and Hearts = Cups. I found these easy to remember – bells are golden so Pentacles/Coins, Leaves = blades of greenery so Swords, Acorns are baby wood so Wands, and Cups are all about
