Not only a magnificent catalogue of Italy's famous tarot manufacturer's wares, but a history of tarot. A must for serious collectors. Features 12 images of each of Lo Scarabeo's decks in a large hardcover book. For each of their spectacular gold and silver decks, an actual card is affixed to the page, so their beauty can be fully appreciated. The decks are conveniently divided into five categories: HISTORICAL TAROT: These Tarot decks are reproductions, reconstructions or reinterpretations of great decks of the past. Studying and understanding the foundation and history of Tarot leads to a better understanding of the meanings and messages hidden in each card. As we rediscover the original symbols, we also travel new paths. ESOTERIC TAROT: Inspired by esoteric philosophy or symbolism, this category includes decks by the greatest occultists of all time, as well as the newest decks developed by modern schools of magical through. The esoteric philosophy of great Tarot masters opens the gate to the temple of knowledge. ART TAROT: Beauty and art are the keys to interpreting these decks. The interaction between the viewer and the art creates new emotional and intuitive insights through visual and pictorial expressions. They guide us in our understanding of the captivating world of relationship between image and meaning. These decks push the boundaries of structure and lead us inexorably to an exploration of how Art can be a mirror to all our feelings. CULTURAL TAROT: These decks bridge the gap between traditional archetypes and the collective imagination of particular cultures. In doing so, they create a mirror that reinterprets our experience and the world around us in a new way. Reading with these decks carries us on several journeys of rediscovery. We see familiar Tarot symbolism through a cultural kaleidoscope; we gain insight into other cultures; and we, as always, learn about ourselves. METAPHYSICAL TAROT: Modern cartomancers use Tarot cards as spiritual and meditative tools. As we seek a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us, the search for answers becomes a journey within. These decks channel intuitive insights, enhancing our exploration of the personal, psychological and spiritual dimensions.
