The record
The Simply Deep Tarot follows the traditional Rider-Waite format, with 78 cards, traditional titles for the Major Arcana, Strength at VIII and Justice at XI. The four suits of the Minor Arcana are entitled Wands, Cups, Swords, and Coins, with the Court Cards entitled Princess, Knight, Queen, and King. The cards come in what is coming to be viewed at the traditional Schiffer packaging sturdy lift-top box, with a magnetic lid. The coloring on the box and the 96 page book are blue/green, representing the emotional realm of life. The cover of the box shows the ghost of a female figure, cards in hand. The back of the box carries background information on the deck. The purpose behind the Simply Deep Tarot is to take the reader deeper into the cards on an emotional level, while still providing a connection to everyday life. In her introduction, Bayliss indicates that she sees the Tarot as a window into the soul. This window has many layers, layers that Bayliss sees as emotional memories, and the reader needs to be able to penetrate these layers to gain the most from the cards. Isolating and exploring each individual emotional layer is the technique that Bayliss recommends. A hin
