Key Features
Easy to Use and Read: Since they maintain the same iconography as the original, you can immediately use all the knowledge and books available for traditional tarotEmphasis on the Background: The biggest difference between these and the classic cards is that the thick, black borders present on many traditional decks have been removed. This allows the images to stretch across the entire card, creating a more connected and profound visual effect. Because there are no borders, the figures and symbols feel closer to you, making it easier to enter the story and energy of each card.
Kit Contents
The set includes 78 cards (7 × 12 cm) and a booklet with card explanations in several languages, including English. The booklet explains the meaning of individual cards, suggests reading spreads, and provides basic instructions for meditation, personal growth, and exploring the inner world. The cards were published by Lo Scarabeo.
