## About this item

Renaissance emblems meet tarot cards in Tarot Emblemata, an 83-card deck built on Claude Paradin's 1551 book of emblems. The deck is accessible for beginners and for readers who know the Rider-Waite-Smith system, while experienced readers will find a fresh view of the tarot.

An emblem is a picture paired with a motto, used to express an idea, such as a virtue or a vice. Its images include plumes, helmets, swords, wands, coins, clouds, wreaths and trees. The deck features gilded cards and a ribbon lift, and the 192-page guidebook explains the symbolism and gives tarot interpretations.

Emblemata suits a reader who enjoys symbols with a story behind them. It makes a thoughtful gift for a tarot reader or a fan of Renaissance art, and a fresh deck for a winter evening spread. Pick Tarot Emblemata and start your next reading with its 83 cards.
