Original titleBuckland Romani Tarot: In the Authentic Gypsy Tradition
This Tarot is based on Gypsies (Romanies) as the author knew them, growing up in England before and after the Second World War. They were colorful nomads, with their bright clothes and brilliantly painted wagons, or vardos. Following the traditional form of the Tarot -- which was originally introduced into Europe by the Gypsies -- this deck is unique in its use of Romani scenes to portray the ancient symbolism. Anyone who is familiar with the Tarot will enjoy the refreshing new approach, and anyone new to the cards will equally enjoy this rendition.
