Hey Hudson, you're exactly right. This deck is perfect for the young ones. The bright and colors, cartoon characters make it an excellent deck that sheds the tarot's usually intimidating aspect for one that's a lot friendlier. In some ways it's for ALL tarot beginners, children and adults, who might otherwise be put off by the intensity of some of the more traditional decks. Also, anyone who loves the cute!

Hey All! I'm currently working on the Lovers and I'm loosely following the Waite Smith version. Pixie puts 12 fruits on the tree behind the man and it seems allegorical to Adam, Eve and the Garden, but I can't find any specific references to the symbolism behind the number 12 here. Does anyone have any good references for this card and the symbolism, biblical or otherwise, of the trees behind the characters? Thanks!
Eden Gray's Book, Mastering the Tarot goes into a pretty extensive analysis of the symbolism of this card as well as all the other major arcada. I have really treasured her books as being of the most definitive intrepretations of the Rider Waite Smith deck. Hope that helps.
