This is an extremely beautiful 24-card Major Arcana deck, illustrated by Richard Howdy. These vivid cards, with their elaborate imagery, come in a beautiful, smooth, 2-peice rigid black box featuring the card back image on the front. The cards roughly measure 2.75 x 4.75 with rounded edges. There is not a guide book included, because the cards were designed for you to use your intuition while doing any readings.
