Published by foolscap press. copyright 1995. Size is appoximately 3"x5". 100 cards are in the deck. Waite based in as meanings as I noticed. Many/most pictures are takeoffs of RWS. 27 majors + fool + 72 minors. Nines are important appearantly. On any card where the number would be greater than 9, you'll find it numbered like 15=6 or 25=7. This includes the majors. The majors are the usuals with Strength as 8 + The Master, Galactic Force, The Androgene, Mystical Life, Transcendant Mind, Universalized Will. Minors are the usual including page, knight, queen and king + teacher-student, reformer, oracle and sage. Wands are fire and in a border of reds and pinks. The sword borders are yellow and gray. Pentacle borders are green and brown. Cup border are blues, aqua and purple. The look is a little like pencil outlines filled in with pastels. Most of the majors have highlights in moon/silver and sun/gold old style paint. The back is gray on white outline of the dancing fool buried in a gray background with wavy white lines all down the card. It's not reversable but you don't have to squint too hard to avoid noticing. Card stock is very good, comparable to ancestral path deck with laminate on front and back. It's thicker than tarot of the spirit but thinner than tarot nova mega mini kit version. I found the deck and book together but haven't read up on them. I really like this deck. I'd call this a RWS family with 22 cards add. I'de be happy to let this be posted in reviews but I have no way to post scans at the moment. Oh here are some. http://www.themysticeye.com/pics/transform.htm http://www.mozilla.org/start/ Publisher http://www.foolscappress.com/tarot.php And another review http://artoftarot.com/transform3.htm Another review and some pics here http://www.astroamerica.com/t-trans.html http://www.tarotpassages.com/transform2.htm http://www.wicce.com/sgotthold.html http://www.isisbooks.com/Details.asp?item=0964467224
