The Vivid Journey Tarot is a light-hearted, whimsical deck of simple imagery and strong, plain colours. Jessica Alaire the conceptual originator of the Vivid Journey Tarot created the deck in response to her own needs. Although she was an experienced tarot user, Alaire failed to find the connection she needed with existing decks, so she decided to illustrate her own. Using traditional Rider-Waite-Smith imagery as a starting point, the VJ T emphasises the emotional and psychic impact of colour - indeed, colour is the primary language of this tarot (as opposed to symbols, myths, allegories et cetera). This is a 78 card fully illustrated tarot. It has a Major Arcana of 22 cards, and a Minor Arcana of 56 cards divided into four suits of 14 cards each. The suits are named Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles, and feature 10 number cards and 4 Court cards Page, Knight, Queen, and King. The Major Arcana follows A E Waites ordering and choice of titles.
