ok i dont know if this subject has been discussed before... when i went on a web hunt a while ago for tarot decks for smaller hands it wasnt easy, especially when alot of websites dont always give you the measurements so you can work out the size before you buy so i thought i would put this question to all you knowledgable aeclectic posters :-) does anyone have some recommendations for tarot decks that are suitable for people who have trouble holding/shuffling the standard sized deck cards?

there was a thread on 23 dec from faunabay. the decks that were mentioned are: rider waite pocket, connoly, motherpeace, zerner-farber, alice in wonderland, thoth pocket, tiny universal (miller), tarot of the gnomes, and rather small-ish: hanson-roberts, african, art-nouveau (myers). i hope this helped you?! with love, rostie.

The Rider White deck should be fairly easy to find in a small size (as far as I know there's at least 2 different sizes you can get this deck in) It's not the greatest deck though, but it's alright.. or.. just let the people you do readings for do the shuffling ;o)

2 other interesting small decks: Barbara Walker Tarot (2 3/8" x 4") http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/barbarawalker/index.html Gareth Knight Tarot (2 11/16" x 3 3/4") http://www.astroamerica.com/t-knight.html

Do I hear you! Check out the Zerner-Farber Tarot Deck. They have a larger version (I forget what it's called) bu the Z-F one is just right for small hands. Lovely, too.
