Unwrapping the box, revealed a standard tarot box however this one had a nice glossy finish to it. The deck enclosed was plastic wrapped and accompanied with a little white book of 63 pages of which on 14 are in English with the remainder in Italian, Spanish, French and German. For a beginner to Tarot this would be a problem as there is not enough information to work with however the information provided gives an introduction to the idea of The Magical Forest Tarot and some interesting perspectives to each card.

This Tarot being my first purchase of a Lo Scarabeo deck I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm really impressed by the quality and feel of this deck and especially love the image on the reverse of the card with it's kaleidoscope effect of a forest scene. The cardstock is of a reasonable thickness and has a silky matte texture without being too slippery. The cards measure 6.5cm x 12cm.

I'm so pleased to at last have this deck , there is a simplicity and ease of reading these cards as well as a feeling of delight and fun. You can't help but smile. This will be a great deck for those days were you are feeling light hearted, days where you really need a lift or with children who are curious about Tarot.
I really enjoy so many of the cards but my two favourites have to be the Strength and Hanged Man cards.
26 June 2018 - Edited to add that I trimmed the deck a few months ago but only today remembered i'd not posted up an image yet for those who may be interested.
