Deck by Maria Bolgarchuk

I've had the Era of Aquarius deck for awhile now and am finally getting around to posting it.  It's actually a deck that I like a lot, and it follows traditional Tarot themes.  If you are looking for this deck, however, it's out of print and will probably be hard to find . . . and somewhat expensive if you do locate one.

I like the colorful imagery that has just the right touch of detail -- not too much and not too little.  The cards are bordered in black and are numbered 0 through 77.  The name of each card is presented in a banner at the bottom of the image.  The names are printed in English, Russian, and French.

The cards are simple enough that a beginner could use them, especially since the deck is similar to the Rider Waite structure.  In this deck, however, Justice is numbered 8 with Strength as 11.  Wands are named Rods.

The back of the cards are not actually reversible, however, I've never let that stop me from using reversals in a Tarot reading.

There is not a lot of information available (in English anyway) about the author and creation of this deck, but it's a pretty one that I enjoy and wanted to add in my reviews and deck selections for readings :-)
