They say: The IJJ Swiss Tarot deck is reprinted in full colour from woodcuts based upon original tarot designs. The most popular Tarot Fortune-Telling deck for card readers.

"The IJJ deck is a reproduction of an 1860 woodcut deck and was the first deck that US Games (a major Tarot card manufacturer) published. All descriptions are written in French but should be easily understood by someone familiar with Tarot. The minor arcana (ie. numbers 1-10 of the four suits) are what is often termed "pip" cards, ie. they do not have individual pictorial illustrations (they show just the number of cups, wands, swords or pentacles), which in my view makes them unsuitable for complete beginners. The major arcana and court cards are illustrated but they do lack the symbolism and visual cues that many more modern decks contain.

The IJJ is one of the better known "historical" decks and still remains popular today." - Brett

The Tarot is a specific system that has 78 cards in total. There are 4 suits (referred to as the minor arcana) and 22 other cards (referred to as the major arcana). Each card represents a specific energy. And each card, through the picture on the card, is trying to help you to feel the specific energy of that card. The reason there are so many different kinds of Tarot decks is that Different Tarot decks may present this energy in different pictorial form. We have lots of articles on Tarot.

I have a set of these cards that where past down to me via my nan, bless her. I use to love it when I was little girl and nanny would let me play with her cards. I just new they were so special. At the moment my dad has the cards at his, although I know they'll come back to me one day and I can't wait to play with them again and have my fond memories of me and nanny. Blessed be xxx

When I was 14, I was on my way to a friends house when I saw some cards wrapped in a ribbon in an outside street bin, I picked them up not knowing what they were and enjoyed the pictures and the feel of them, but I couldn't understand what they said nor did. A few weeks later my step dad found them in my bedroom and ripped and threw them out saying tarot cards were evil, it was the worse thing he could do for now I knew what they were and I went out and bought some more! 15 years later and I still read cards for my friends and sometimes their friends and myself, i have never needed to learn how to do it I have just been able to, I have tried other things like crystal balls and runes but they don't work for me, just the cards I truely believe those cards found me and 15 years later they found me again! I have 2 tarot decks, tarot of the witches and tarot of mermaids, and I came to this site looking for some crystals but I went straight to the tarot page looking at the historial ones, as soon as I saw the IIJ swiss deck my heart beat faster and when I looked at the deck closer I knew that the cards I had found so long ago and lost had been found again. I ordered them straight away and received them today, I held them and I know that I am about to do some amazing readings with these cards!
