Great concept, fantastic deck.

Normally I am not a big fan of Lo scarabeo decks as I have found them to be mostly generic looking and the artwork did not fit my spiritual concept of the Tarot. Now comes the Lo scarabeo tarot and I must say first that the reason this deck is as good as it is is because it was overseen by Mr. Mark McElroy. What they have done is combine the symbolism of the Waite, Thoth and Marseilles decks respectively and the images really act as a perfect conduit with the Psyche when working with this deck. I highly recommend this deck for meditation, readings and furthering ones spiritual understand of the Tarot. This is the only Lo Scarobeo deck you'll ever need (Okay, I do like the Fey Tarot as well). I cannot thank Mark McElroy enough for playing such a crucial part in the brilliant excecution of this deck, and the artist he worked with did such a fantastic job translating his vision into a truly spectacular deck. Bravo Lo Scarabeo and well done.

Another decent tarot deck

I love the illustrations themselves-I find them fantastic-the visuals and melding of other decks-really great symbolism.
I do not like some of the facial expressions-some are a little too cartoony looking and others are bland... though some do fit the card.
I was disappointed in the vibrancy of the colors. I expected them to be more like the radiant Rider Waite deck, but many of the colors are a bit more washed out than I would expect from a newer deck. There's definitely color, but just not as bright as I had hoped.
All that being said, I am looking forward to working with this deck on my own for awhile and see how it feels...that will tell the whole story. As I mentioned, I think the illustrations are very well done and the symbolism is right on- clear with layers to pick up on as you get in-tune with these specific cards. I think, in time, I will be able to use this as an alternative deck for readings.
Whether you are a collector or looking for a well-illustrated deck with plenty of symbolism I think this deck will be quite useful.

Three-in-One Tarot Deck.

The artistry of this deck by Anna Lazzarini is amazing. What impressed me was Mark McElroy's ability to successfully "merge" three main tarot traditions into a single deck. Somehow, the combination of these two talents added up to an original, but still classic tarot deck.
At first, I was apprehensive on getting this deck. How can you possibly merge Marseilles, Rider-Waite and Thoth tarots? This thought held me back for a long time. Until I got the Manga Tarot by Anna Lazzarini. Her artistry was good enough for me to make the leap of faith, and I bought this deck with only looking at few samples over the internet.
And I was rewarded! As expected, this deck is beautiful, but the interpretations of the cards are exquisite as well. Mark McElroy came up with an original imagery for each card that uses the three mayor traditions instead of just merging it. It works well enough for me to spend hours comparing each card on this deck with their equivalent in the Marseilles, Rider-Waite and Thoth decks.
This is a good deck for tarot collectors that collect and study these three traditions. It includes a bag and the usual Little White Book.
