Description
Most Tarot decks with truly spectacular designs are essentially art collections. The Gilded Tarot transcends this limitation by featuring some of the most strikingly beautiful artwork in any Tarot deck, yet still follows the Rider-Waite-Smith model. The result is a unique deck that anyone with any Tarot experience will find instantly familiar and useful. This deck can be used with any Tarot system or book. You really have to see the cards to believe their beauty. The High Priestess dances on the water in a diaphanous dress of stars. She bends back before a crescent moon, resembling a classic 1920s lamp. The Wheel of Fortune depicts the zodiac wheel orbiting a solar center as part of a bizarre, almost otherworldly machine. The Hanging Man follows this machine concept, but he is dressed in brilliant reds and greens. The colors are deep and intense, almost metallic. They draw you in and make you stare at the images repeatedly. But this is more than just a deck to look at, it's a deck to use! The Gilded Tarot Companion, a comprehensive book by Tarot expert Barbara Moore, is included with this deck. It's a complete introduction, so even a beginner can use this deck right away.
