The Fairy Tarot is a fun and lovely deck; since fairies are the focus, it is a great deck to tie in with nature and animals. I was only a little disappointed to find the hearts, bells, acorns, and leaves just printed on each card with the fairy drawing instead of incorporated into the actual drawing. I was pleased to find the accompanying booklet! It helps! The meanings vary some since it is a fairy focus. If you are looking for an entertaining, pretty deck, then you will enjoy this one.

Lo Scarabeo decks are always a treat, and The Fairy Tarots is no exception. This deck follows after "The Gnome Tarots" by the same artist, with the premise being that the Fairies were jealous that the Gnomes had their own Tarot, so they created their own.

The paintings are full of earth-tones, not as bright as once would expect. The Fairies themselves are very "cutesy" but not to the point that it detracts from the deck's practicality. The order of the Major Arcana is more or less traditional, with some titles changed (The Fool becomes The Elf). The Minor Arcana, however, is made up of pen and ink vignettes, looking very Victorian and attractive. The suits are Hearts, Bells, Acorns and Leaves; the court cards become King, Queen, Knight and Knave.

The fact that the deck came with a booklet is a saving grace. The interpretations are in the context of Fairy Society, especially in the Minor Arcana. The story is very delightful and makes me wish Lo Scarabeo would have published a companion book for it. There is also a new spread to be used with the deck.

This is a great deck for people who already have The Gnomes Tarot, or who collect anything Fairy.
