There is one additional card in the Major Arcana, entitled the Unknown Card. The Court Cards are entitled King, Queen, Knight, and Page.
The suits are Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. The traditional names are kept for the Major Arcana, with Strength at VIII, and Justice at XI. While not intended by the artist, I have to agree with a comment in the introduction that some of the imagery in this deck does bring to mind the faerie realm. Her interest in crystal balls is also evident in the deck's imagery. Galasso also attributes her interest in the spiritual realm to Stevie's haunting voice, ethereal nature, and poetic lyrics. The name for this deck was inspired by the Stevie Nicks CD “Crystal Visions”. The intention with this deck was to create art that was unique, but that would be close enough to traditional imagery to allow new readers to learn the Tarot easily.
I love the colors and sense of grace in this deck. The beautiful, soft artwork bring to mind another of my favorite decks, the “Shadowscapes Tarot”, by Stephanie Pui Mun Law. “Crystal Visions Tarot” is brought to us by fantasy artist Jennifer Galasso. Crystal Visions Tarot Review by Bonnie Cehovet
