My first tarot deck from nearly 15 years ago was Juliet Sharman-Burke's & Liz Greene's The Mythic Tarot. Overall, I found this a wonderful beginner deck as each Major Arcana card was depicted by a particular Greek hero/heroine/God/Goddess and each of the Minor Arcana cards are part of a Greek mythological storyline. Very easy to follow and creates a fabulous memory device for remembering individual cards.
Many years ago (I've moved around a bit) I "lost" this deck and about 2 years ago my good friend Carrie sent the Mythic Tarot to me. I hadn't played with this deck in about 10 years and was surprised that I actually remembered individual cards quite well. I was also excited to find that this was still enjoyable to use. These mythological figures fit into the Tarot archetypes extremely well and the bold use of color throughout pleases the eyes.
The only downside to this deck is that the cards themselves are quite thin. I don't know if they would make great travelling cards or could endure a bunch of wear and tear.
Lovely deck, altogether. Works best with question/answer and Celtic Cross. I would personally only use the Major Arcana with some relationship questions.
