Gilded Royale Tarot Kit by Ciro Marchetti and Barbara Moore in English

Description

Announcing archetypal elements of traditional Tarot, the Gilded Tarot Kit by Ciro Marchetti and Barbara Moore has priestesses in flowing robes, wise emperors, knights in majestic steeds, mystics wielding magic tools, and other intriguing characters from medieval times in the Major and Minor Arcana. It also features standard symbols for suits, swords, cups, wands, and pentacles.

Most Tarot decks with really spectacular designs are really just collections of art. The Gilded Tarot transcends this limitation by having some of the most strikingly beautiful art in any Tarot deck, but it follows the Rider-Waite-Smith model. The result is a unique deck that anyone with any Tarot experience will feel familiar with and know how to use. This deck can be used with any tarot system.

You really must see the cards to believe the beauty they contain. The Grand Priestess dances on the water in a translucent gown of stars. It bends backwards in front of the crescent moon, looking like a classic lamp from the 1920s. The Wheel of Fortune shows the zodiacal wheel around a solar center as part of a different, almost alien machine. The Hanged Man follows this machine concept, but is dressed in shades of bright red and green.

The colors are deep and intense, almost metallic. They draw you in and make you look at the images over and over again. It is more than a beautiful deck to contemplate, it is a tarot to use. In addition to the deck, it comes with a complete book that explains, step by step, how to use this deck.

If you are tired of the old style RWS deck and its imitators, if you are looking for a familiar deck that will take you into the future, this is the tarot you want to have.

One of Llewellyn’s best-selling tarot decks has been updated with brilliantly renewed artwork. With borderless cards, richer colors, and stylish design improvements, the deck retains its powerful readability with a more contemporary appearance to engage its many fans and new users. Filled with medieval magicians, priestesses, emperors, and knights, the Gilded Tarot will continue to inspire tarot readers for years to come.
