I picked up the Mega Mini Tarot Kit from Runnig Press yesterday. It is a full 78 card pack in miniature with an 88 page booklet and a reading mat. I found it to be a bargain at $7.95. The artwork is "folksy" on a black background. Due to the size there are not a lot of details and some of the sybolism is a little odd. The booklet, however, is quite well done and useful for a novice reader. Does anyone else have this kit? If so, what do you think of it? Blessings, wolfen

This deck is also called the Tarot Nova. I have it, but I don't read with it much at this time (actually, I have it in three sizes!) I love the artwork though. :) Here's a link to a previous thread about the deck http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12829 There's also a couple of posts about this deck on this thread http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18562 There are some other older threads about this deck, I believe. Just use the search feature for Tarot Nova. I'm being too lazy to it myself! :) This deck has many fans here on Aeclectic!

There is the teeny tiny one, attached to a book, and the small one in a pack marked 'Tarot'. What is the other one?

The third size of the Tarot Nova is found in "Tarot An Illustrated Journal" Here's the Amazon link. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0762413549/qid=1067717573/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/002-0839176-8596868?v=glance&n=507846 The cards are on the first two and half pages of the book, fully colored front and back. They are perforated for punching out. Size-wise, they are a little over twice the size of the micro-mini set.

Picked this little deck up last night and it's as cute as a bugs ear.

I have the one that came in the small box marked Tarot The Complete Kit. I still think some of the symbolism is odd. Why is the Emperor a "living" boot? And the Bicycylist for the Chariot? Lark is right though, This is a very cute deck! Blessings,wolfen

Wolfen.... Glad you mentioned it. I have been looking for a mini deck, I like to bring my cards with me and I am afraid I will ruin them. A smaller size would be more pratical to carry in my bag. Thanks

Some of the imagery is so different and fun, like the 4 of cups where the man is staring at a worm coming out of an apple hanging on a spindly tree and the 4th (usually floating) cup is on his head. Like where my glasses are when I've looked everywhere! And I like the hot air balloon on the 6 of swords.
