The Systematic Tarot

This deck has been designed from the outset to be the ultimate "pick up and play" Tarot reading system.

The system comprises:

- A 20 page step-by-step instruction booklet.
- A 20 page complete card reference booklet.
- The deck of 78 illustrated, color-coded cards.
- A convenient tuck-box to hold everything.

The Systematic Tarot is highly compatible with "classic" approaches to Tarot reading, but at the same time, it is:

- Simple and straightforward.
- Logical, and consistent.
- Easily operated by new readers.

The deck's novel approach combines the widely recognized imagery created by artist Pamela Colman Smith, together with a new reading system comprising:

- Color coded card borders for easy identification.
- Sphere and Aspect categories printed on the cards.
- Interpretation keywords printed on the cards.
- Keywords for both upright and inverted orientations.
- Revised and rationalized card meanings.

The cards are normal poker card size, rather than the usual over-sized Tarot format, making them very easy to handle, shuffle, and spread.

The memory aids built into the cards have been designed to ensure that this easy-to-learn deck is ideal both for serious Tarot newcomers who want to get up and running really fast, and for casual readers just having fun with friends. Experienced readers may also be curious to explore this novel "systematic" approach.

The designer Peter Vodden spent many years as a senior analyst in information and data systems, and has applied his accumulated knowledge to create his unique Tarot reading system, complete with a Tarot deck that is both visually appealing and supremely practical.
