VISCONTI TAROTS

History, Gold, Beauty! This is hands down the most beautifull Tarot deck I own and it's talking and reading like a dream. These are pip cards and you need to learn how to read those if you are buying. Rich gold undertones are done in a stunning restorative fashion. I love Lo Scarabeo decks as they are not very thick and shuffle easily. I don't have gigantic hands. This deck is perfect in size for me. The reason I love it 😍. I can carry this in my purse as well. I'm getting bang on readings. It can be used to read for clients who feel the luxurious energy of this deck and are now asking me to use my "Golden" cards for fortunetelling. Thankfully this one will be one of my workhorse decks. It's a treat for the senses. I'm a professional Sybil and read cards for predictive purposes. I especially enjoy pip cards as they give such clear answers without pictures coming in the way, because three of swords is not necessarily heartbreak you know, neither the five of cups a huge regret as shown in PC Smith pictures. That's only one interpretation out of many. If you read TdM you will love this deck too. This is old world Tarocchi. No new age BS. No astrology needed. No Kabbalah. None of that overkill. Plain and simple Tarocchi. Game anyone?

This is a Visconti deck and that should already make this a treasure. The images are exact and original. You can see the Empress (I'Imperatrice) with the Imperial Eagle of the Holy Roman Empire. Lovely. I love that the images are exactly as I've read in book. If you want to explore the roots of Tarot I suggest you get this deck

Very good design and fits in palm perfectly.

This a gorgeous gold tinted deck by Lo Scarabeo. What stands out the most in this particular remake of Visconti Sforza deck- is surprisingly; the Pips. 1. Starting with the Pips- they are gorgeous. 2. Court Cards- Now, if you're into ancient/ directional style of reading; the Court Cards in this deck might disappoint you- as most of them are facing straight and not really looking in any direction. 3. Trumps- the Trumps are also slightly directionally different from the ones in a regular TdM. The quality of the deck is top notch. It is accompanied with a tiny 'book' for reference, which is surprisingly quite succinct. These cards maybe a tad bit longer (more length) for people with short hands. Definitely a lovely deck to add to your collection. Thank you Lo Scarabeo :)

What no one has mentioned here is that the card stock is paper like and very thin. I understand how easily one can overlook quality because the cards look stunning. I felt it is important to mention the quality because like me it might be important to someone as these cards are expensive. I am disappointed with the card stock because these cards are pricey. I ended up paying a few hundred more as well because I ordered from Atlantic publishers. I wanted to be sure about getting an untouched product which is very important for me. It was an untouched brand new deck. It arrived well and undamaged I have not included the images of the cards because they are available online and there are pictures available in other reviews here as well. I am in 2 minds about keeping this deck. I am leaning towards keeping them because I don’t have any other deck like this. Hope this review helps someone make an informed decision.

Anteriormente compré otra que resultó no ser dorada y compré esta porque tengo la de Nefertari de la misma marca y si es dorada realmente. La gracia de este tarot es esa, los adornos en color dorado. Es preciosa, tiene el tamaño adecuado para echar las cartas cómodamente. Estoy muy contenta. Hace años tuve el tarot Visconti que venía en unos fasciculos, pero solo venía la mitad, y quería tener la baraja entera, así que estaba buscando una baraja que fuera como la de aquellos fasciculos, esta es la misma, hasta del mismo tamaño, solo cambia el reverso de la carta, que es muy bonito, y la caja es negra en vez de verde, pero por fin la tengo.

Très jolie jeu de tarot de bonne qualité, carte un peu fine mais top.

gorgeous deck, worth every penny :)

- The Visconti Tarot deck is stunningly rendered on quality card-stock in full colour, with a patterned gold foil background on all the Major Arcana and Court Cards. The beauty of this deck is truly astonishing. Even the cards of the minor arcana have lovely illustrations with gold foil highlights. The deck size is somewhat longer than a normal playing-cards deck, but not unmanageable for shuffling, etc. And the size does lend the entire deck an appearance of something extraordinary - even before one reveals the faces of the cards. - There are a number of reasons I chose this deck. After looking through literally hundreds of different styles of Tarot from across a half-dozen websites, I ordered this one for its colourfully intense and faithfully rendered early Renaissance artwork because I specifically want to use the deck in the context of historic reenactment events and themed parties, etc. The black background and muted colors of the symmetrical period illustration on the back of each card is lovely, yet not distracting, and it makes for a very dramatic contrast with the intense beauty of the colours and metallic gold that will naturally draw the eye when the card is revealed. - NOTE: The fact that this deck is patterned on an original Renaissance deck does mean that the minor arcana cards are all beautifully - but simply - rendered with just the number and the symbols of the four suits: Wands, Cups, Pentacles and Swords. This means they do not have the more imaginative images in the minor arcana for both the querent and the Tarot reader to key-in on when looking at a spread. It's my understanding this was the period way many early Tarot decks were rendered, however, it may prove challenging at first for someone used to more modern tarot decks. That being said, I don't believe it should deter someone from purchasing the Visconti Tarot. It may simply require more study to familiarize oneself with the meanings of the various numbers and suits of the minor arcana, without the help of the illustrations - just as any Tarot Reader would have had to do in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. And I believe the truly stunning look and feel of this deck will more than make up for that challenge, which in the end would likely improve one's overall understanding of the Tarot - whether they are a novice or a longtime practitioner. - In conclusion, I would like to thank those who specifically posted the correct ISBN numbers for this superior rendering of the Visconti deck as: ISBN-10: 0738700193. After looking at so many different decks and reading so many and varied reviews, it was very nice to have some specificity to be confident that I was ordering the deck I had read about.

まるで絵画を観ているようなタロットです。 基本とかけ離れているというレビューがありますがヴィスコンティタロットは今出回っているライダー版のタロットより古いものです。絵柄がかけ離れていて当然です。ライダー版と意味は変わらないので 持っていてもリーディングができないとかはないと思います。
