In Tarot Grand Luxe, Ciro Marchetti’s creative powers reach a brilliant crescendo. He has been an amazing artist from the beginning of his career in Tarot. Now he is a seasoned master of the Tarot, with a deep understanding of the occult aspects, as well as the artistic requirements, of deck design.
Here he weaves together his immense artistic talents with his deep understanding of historic religious, spiritual and esoteric symbolism. The result is wholly new modern deck that delights our senses and operates exceptionally well as a divination tool. Users will recognize elements from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot system and references to the Tarot de Marseilles, as well as other historic symbols and archetypes. Included is a 56 page booklet that describes Marchetti’s personal perspectives for each card.
Every element that makes Ciro the best selling Tarot artist of our day flourishes in Tarot Grand Luxe: his sumptuous colors, his love of Renaissance art and Commedia dell’arte characters. The images in Grand Luxe are extremely beautiful, with iconic, even transcendent, archetypes. For RWS readers, this lovely deck reads easily upon first sight. Grand Luxe is the work of an accomplished Tarot master at the peak of his abilities.
