Just google "buffy vampire tarot" and you'll find plenty.
Don't look to this "Slayer" deck for a lot of esoteric symbolism. It's
really just an expanded studio prop intended to be sold as a fan trinket.
"The Sun" shows a vampire burning up in the sun. "The Magician" is Buffy
brandishing a wooden stake. And so on.
