it is ok for the major arcana cards in this deck to be figured out, but the difficulty comes to figuring out if the minor arcana cards are reversed or upright, especially the swords and the wands...

please help, what should be done to overcome this?

Hi Anas:

Have a look see, at the bottom of the minors you also find Roman numerals for each card.

Thank u so much dear for the reply...

never like this deck... but unfortunately, with its ugly drawings, it's the only one available in my country...

and guess what, the credit card service was cancelled in my country, so how the hell would someone buy the rider waite deck?

Anas, a quick reference for the Wands and Swords of the TdM (Tarot de Marsille)

Wands are straight poles
Swords are curved like scimitar.

I have to agree though it is one ugly ass deck, and yes I do own one. Hopefully you get something soon! And if you don't mind where do you live that you can't even buy out of country cuz of the credit card services are cancelled (wait that is possible?!?!)....

There must be hundreds of Marseilles decks, each one slightly different, some of the modern printed ones have the numerals at the bottom so it is rather easier to see if the card is upright or not. But to be honest I wouldn't use reversals with this deck.

Anas, investigate paypal, you can then buy online and pay through your bank account or cards
