Each Major Arcana card has the card number in the upper left corner and in the bottom left border. The bottom border also has the Astrological correspondence, the Hebrew letter, the card name, the path on the Tree of Life, and a musical scale with the corresponding note and a Parrot.The musical notes in the major arcana are Paul Foster Case’s notes that accompany the majors in his teachings.

The Court Cards have the associated playing card symbol in the upper left corner. The bottom border has the astrological correspondence, the elemental correspondence, the name of the card and a Parrot. The Minor Arcana have the same information plus a keyword, which is the same key word as in the Thoth Tarot. The deck has an additional court card called "the Mentor", which is placed between the Prince and the Queen.

Number of Cards: 78
ISBN:
Type: other
Reference: Encyclopedia of Tarot, vol. IV, pp. 419, 421-422

It is a not-so-tarotlike tarot. The booklet says "This is a work for the Master Jesus".
The 22 Major Cards of the Master Tarot are often, but not always, parallel to the traditional Major Arcana. Instead of Minor Arcana, the deck has forty Minor cards and sixteen People cards. The Minor cards are based on sayings of Jesus.

Kazanlar Tarot

Creator(s): Emil Kazanlar
Date: 1996
Country: Switzerland
 
Publisher: AGM 
Number of Cards: 80 
ISBN: 3-905017-97-0 
Type: other 
Reference: Encyclopedia of Tarot, vol. IV, pp. 393-394





Notes:

The cards are titled in German, English, French and Hungarian. The German, English and French titles are translations. The Hungarian titles have a different meaning. For example, on the Four of Cups the German, English and French title just means "Four of Cups", the Hungarian title is "Ferenc Josef", which is the Hungarian name of the depicted person, the equivalent German name is "Franz Josef I, Empereor of Austria".

The suit of swords focusses on ancient Egyptian symbolism, wands on India, including the Hindu and Moslem aspects, cups on Hungary and coins on Persia.

At the top of each Minor Arcana is an angelic Sephira at the bottom the corresponding demonic Sephira . On the left side are astrological symbols, on the ride side the rank, suit and element of the card.
