One of my favourite deck designers has done it again! Robert M. Place has created a brand new Tarot deck based on the oldest known Tarot deck in the world – The Marziano Tarot.
Though no cards from the original deck exist, Place re-created the images based on descriptions from its designer, Marziano da Tortona, as he wrote about the cards back in the 15th Century.
It’s a fascinating story, and if you’d like to learn more, and maybe even order a copy of the deck for yourself, visit the Marziano Tarotproject page.
According to the deck designer, Chris Muscat Azzopardi, there was once a time that cats were god-like creatures who ruled the earth. They had both the power of reason and the power of prophecy, but it didn’t work out so well.
Take a look at the video below, and if you want to learn more about this deck (and the cat people that ruled the world), visit the Tablets of Feline Arcanaproject page.
I know I’ve posted a number of Kickstarter projects lately, but because I like compilation decks so much, and this one looks great, here’s another – the 78 Tarot Carnival – Cirque du Tarot. It’s the third Tarot deck put together by 78 Tarot.
Take a look at the video below, and/or visit the 78 Tarot Carnivalproject page to learn more …
The project features two surreal Major Arcana decks, one focusing on questions of growth (Sunrise) and one focusing on issues surrounding detatchment and closure (Sunset).
To see both decks and to learn more about the project, take a look at the video below, and/or visit the Sunrise & Sunset Tarot project page.
