  • birdy:

    They are not tarot cards, because a tarot deck consists of 78 cards (full set) or 22 cards (Major Arcana only).

    They are a fortune-telling system based on a traditional 52-card playing card deck. There are a lot of these out there. Sorry, Don’t know the name of this specific deck.
