The record

Tarot Of The Hidden Folk is a 78 card deck in traditional format: 22 Trumps (with traditional titles), four suits (Wands, Chalices, Swords and Pentacles) and four court cards per suit (Knave, Knight, Queen and King). The cards themselves are a wonderful size for those of us with smaller hands - approximately 2 5/8" by 4 3/4". They are of of high quality, glossy card stick, and will hold up well under heavy use. The backs have a 1/4" white border, enclosing a lovely presentation in mutated colors - at one end we see a child-like form, with wings, having a great time on a swing; on the other end we see a gentle scene with a "wee folk" man and woman sitting under a leaf which has a ladybug on it. The couple are surrounded by the bounty of the fields. For those who use reversals - yes, the card orientation would make itself known before it was turned over, but not in an obvious manner. The card faces are presented with the same 1/4" white border, with the scene, again in muted colors, in the center. The card name appears in English in the left hand corner and Italian in the right hand corner, then again in the lower left hand corner (French and Spanish) and the lower right hand corner
