This is a first edition Tarot card deck created by Eileen Connolly with art work by her son, Peter Paul Connolly. This deck is special because it is inscribed and signed by Eileen Connolly on the outer box. She mentions that it is First Edition and is dated October, 1990. 

Eileen Connolly, Ph.D. was one of the world’s leading authorities on Tarot, Numerology & esoteric sciences. Dr. Connolly’s works are used extensively as textbooks by Tarot institutions. For the Connolly Tarot deck, the author used a simple approach. Each card presents a beautiful visual image that is faithful to traditional Tarot, yet eliminates all unnecessary and negative symbolism. 

The complete 78-card Tarot pack is divided into two sections: 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards. The Major Arcana are allegorical cards and are also known as the Triumphs, the Greater Arcana, the Higher Arcana, and the Atouts. The Minor Arcana are divided into four suits: Swords, Wands, Cups, and Pentacles. In each suit are four court cards: King, Queen, Knight, and Page, and ten numbered cards. 

Eileen Connolly designed the Connolly Tarot deck in cooperation with her son, Peter Paul Connolly. The scenes on each card are reminiscent of medieval stained glass. The wardrobes of the figures have wonderful color and historic detail. Card number 13, usually titled Death, is titled Transition in Connolly Tarot to reflect transformation and the change of one’s life path. Card 15, normally the Devil, has been changed to Materialism, and shows how the tools of life have been abused.

This deck is in excellent condition. The deck is complete with the instructions and box. The cards are about as new, bright, clean, crisp. No bends or creases, no edge wear. ** The outer box shows a little wear from long storage with some bumps at corner tips. **
