Each card of the The Silenus Tarot deck is decorated with a scene from Greek Mythology. Silenus, for which the deck was named, was a learned satyr who was skilled in the art of prophecy. Though very wise, Silenus was a humorous figure. As a satyr, he was driven by material gratification -- a quirk which, very often, got him into trouble. To compliment this light-hearted character, the deck is illustrated in a fun cartoon style largely inspired by ancient Greek vase paintings. The cards portray a wide variety of situations and emotions -- some joyous, some exciting, peaceful, depressing, or even downright tragic. As you follow these characters on their journeys, I hope they will become like close friends, and that you will see a part of yourself in each of them. You will feel their passion and pain, and hopefully be able to relate their dramas to your own life -- for self-discovery, after all, is what Tarot is all about.

The Silenus Tarot Deck is a standard playing card-size 78-card tarot deck, printed in full color. Each card features a scene from Greek Mythology, rendered in a fun, cartoony style. An instruction sheet with brief descriptions of each card is included. Great for all ages.
