Notes:
The Symbolon is not a Tarot deck. There are a number of cards that bear a resemblance to particular cards of the Tarot. But even though there are 78 cards in the Symbolon deck, it's still not a deck of Tarot cards.

There are no major and minor arcana cards; there are no court cards, nor are there the traditional pip cards you see in Tarot that are numbered from Ace to Ten. In fact, these cards have no numbering, titles, or labels on them at all.

The cards feature spiritual and mythological characters intermixed with characters that seem to be from various periods in history (Renaissance, Victorian era, etc.). Astrological associations are featured as symbols on each card. In the LWB it is considered a "game of remembrance", the purpose of the deck is to recreate memories from past lives
