Lo Scarabeo Tarot (Cards) $25.89 For the first time, three tarot traditions—the Marseille, the Waite-Smith, and the Crowley-Harris—have been combined into one deck! This dynamic blend offers themes and symbols from the most influential decks in the history of tarot. The deluxe edition includes the Lo Scarabeo Tarot, an embroidered velvet bag, and instructions—all encased in a box sized to fit snugly on a bookshelf. One of Aeclectic Tarot`s Top Ten Decks for 2007! Publisher Review:The Tarot has been one of my fondest interests for decades. But just as my interests have evolved over time, so, too, has the Tarot evolved. In fact, the Tarot has gone through several evolutionary changes that can best be represented by three decks. The first deck is the Tarot de Marseilles. In actuality, this is not a specific deck at all. Rather, it is a design for Tarot decks that was used by many deck created around the city of Marseille. As you probably know, many decks today are simply revisioned versions of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. Imagine, if you will, a set of decks that are similarly versions of a pattern or style. That pattern is the Tarot de Marseilles, and it became a very popular pattern during the 19th and early 20th centuries, although its origins go back much earlier. By the time it was becoming popular, a mystical organization, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn used concepts from it, combined with Kabalistic ideas and their own concepts to create their own pattern. Each member of the Order was expected to draw their own version of the Golden Dawn deck. Two members of the Order were A. E. Waite and "Pixie" Smith. Although the Golden Dawn’s deck never went public until recent years, Waite and Smith published (through Rider) a variation of the Golden Dawn deck. The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot has become one of the most popular decks around. . . read more. |

Tarot of White Cats Mini $11.55 Designed in the Rider-Waite tradition, this miniature tarot deck is fun for all levels of tarot enthusiasts. Featuring majestic, albino kitties displaying their mystical and valiant personalities, these feline-themed cards are the perfect gift for your cat-loving friends. Publisher Review: Lo Scarabeo, the prolific Italian publisher of some of the most beautiful Tarot decks in the world, has made available several of their decks in a "mini" size of 44 x 80 mm (about 1.73 x 3.15 inches), about 1/3 smaller than most Tarot decks. This makes them very easy to carry with you anywhere and everywhere. The cards do not have the same protective coating as most decks so they may not last as long as full-sized decks. When I first became interested in the Tarot about a bazillian years ago, I decided I wanted to obtain all of the Tarot decks that were available. This was at a period when the interest in Tarot deck design was just beginning to explode. Every time I’d buy a deck five new ones would come on the market. I finally gave up my desire to collect decks. However, I noticed that there were certain. . .read more. |

Circle of Life Tarot $20.35 The great wheel of life is reflected in this nontraditional tarot. The round shape of this spiritual deck offers an unconstrained approach to tarot with no reversals to ponder. Fairy-like creatures of the earth, air, fire, and water inhabit these cards, each measuring 4.5 inches in diameter. Publisher Review:My friend and colleague, Riccardo Minetti, an editor at Lo Scarabeo, once remarked that any good Tarot deck review begins with a study of that deck. He is right. It is tempting and easy to write a review about how you like or don’t like a deck. A review should give an opinion, yes? Well, yes and no. I believe that the reviewer first should understand what the deck designer intended. The opinions that follow should then be about the aim itself (Was it a good idea? Is it useful? Does it explore new paths?) and to what extent the deck achieved that aim. So I attempted my study of the Circle of Life Tarot. It was not the first time. Months ago, intrigued with the art and the concept, I played with the cards and soon put them away in frustration. I volunteered to write this review, thinking that would force me to succeed in figuring it out. I assumed the weakness to be mine. And perhaps it still is. For some reason, I am not ready to dismiss this deck even though I have to admit: I don’t get it. In a way, this is, therefore, less of a review and more of a confession. . . . read more. |

Tarot of the Sweet Twilight (Cards) $19.57 Whispers of twilight twist in the corners of your soul. Surreal images surprise your mind. Colors and curves delight your eyes. Bittersweet beauty stirs your heart. You change, grow wiser, and find that the world is complicated, but no less beautiful. Publisher Review: Honesty is imperative. You must know from the start: I love this deck. My heart was lost to it almost a year ago when I was in Italy working in the Lo Scarabeo offices. Riccardo Minetti, the editor there, pulled out Cristina’s original artwork and that was, as they say, that. Later, the little flame in my heart was fanned—again by Riccardo—into a bonfire when I was asked to write the dreaded Little White Booklet. If you think using those books is frustrating, try writing them! Luckily, Riccardo turned what could have been a wretched experience into a magical one. He knows that my "mental deck" is the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. He knows that it is my wont to force all decks into that mold. So he instructed me to just sit with this art, one picture at a time and forget what card it is supposed to be and what the Rider-Waite-Smith version looks like. Just sit with the art and write down what it says. And so I did. And in doing so, [read more] |

The Tarot $13.99 The Tarot is one of the few books that cuts through conventional misperceptions to explore the Tarot deck as it really developed in the Middle Ages and Renaissance Europe-not, as some would suggest, in the far reaches of Egyp-tian antiquity. Mining the Hermetic, alchemical, and Neoplatonic influences behind the evolution of the deck, author Robert M. Place provides a historically grounded and compelling portrait of the Tarot’s true origins, without overlooking the deck’s mystical dimensions. Indeed, Place uncommonly weds reliable historiography with a practical understanding of the intuitive help and divinatory guidance that the cards can bring. He presents techniques that offer new and valuable ways to read and interpret the cards. Based on a simple three-card spread, Place’s approach can be used by either the seasoned practitioner or the new inquirer. |

Initiatory Tarot of the Golden Dawn/ Tarot Iniciatico De La Golden Dawn (Cards) $20.35 The Golden Dawn is one of the most influential and respected systems of magic in the world. Inspired by the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn, this magical tarot captures the esoteric spirituality and mysticism of an ancient yet vibrant tradition. This stunning tarot offers a path—built on the tenets of high magic—that leads to transformation and enlightenment. Boxed deck includes 78 full-color cards and instruction booklet Publisher Review #1:The concept of this deck is fascinating. A knowledgeable deck designer and historian, Giordano Berti, used primary source material to create instructions and direction for an artist who has not viewed other versions of Golden Dawn or Golden Dawn-tradition-based decks. This allows for an entirely fresh composition and depiction of these meanings, including illustrated pips. This deck moves away from numeric pips, expanding on the original design (just as Waite and Smith did) to create the first truly all-pictorial Golden Dawn deck What an exciting technique to create a deck that is based on a specific foundation but not derivative. Is this what the tarot world has been waiting for? Is this a step in evolution for tarot, a way to break out of the clone rut? Time and usage by readers will tell. . . . read more. Publisher Review #2: Before discussing the deck itself, I’d like to look at the LWB (Little White Booklet) that accompanies the deck. Because Lo Scarabeo sends decks all over the world, their LWBs are in multiple languages, resulting, unfortunately, in even less information than is found in decks from other publishers. This one, however, uses its limited space very effectively. It doesn’t describe the symbolism on each card (you can look at the card), but does give the divinatory meaning based on the Golden Dawn system. The creative force behind the deck, Giordano Bertia, only |
