"Pip" decks are those where the minor cards are NOT pictorially interpreted for you -- the Ten of Cups, for example, will remind you of a modern-day Ten of Hearts, with the addition of miscellaneous vines, fleurs de lis, etc. which act in combination with the pattern formed by the Cups, Wands, Swords, and Coins to suggest to yourself what you are thinking.Sound complicated? It's not, really; read on.The Marseille Tarot is the Grand Daddy of 'em all -- designed and executed by an artist unknow...

Not your usual traditional deck which is generally Rider-Waite but a traditional deck nonetheless! Simple imagery and coloring make this a beautiful deck. The pip cards (numbered cards of the minor arcana) do not depict rich or full scenes as they consist only of the pips. Three of Cups is just that - a card pictured with three cups. It may cause difficulty for a beginner with learning on this deck since there is not much imagery to glean from when reading these cards using mainly intuition b...

A must have for intermediate or advanced users. This is also a very reasonably priced deck. I got it well in advance of the due date, well packed and in prist...

The cards are fine. I really like the cardstock, the back is lovely, and otherwise they're a fairly standard Marseille deck.THIS is the deck I recommend to folks new to TdM decks, though. Why?
