It adheres to the traditional Rider-Waite structure with 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards, including the suits of Swords, Pentacles, Cups, and Wands. The artwork uses a natural palette and integrates traditional tarot symbols, like shields for Knights and crowns for Kings and Queens, into the scenes.
