Venture beyond the well-traveled paths of the Rider-Waite-Smith conventions to the world of Sefirot Tarot where history, esoteric tales, Judaic Kabbalah, and the Marseille Tarot tradition combine to create a powerful tool for intuition, reflection, and growth.
Since ancient times, the mysterious island of Dioscoria has been a harbor for mystics and misfits, rebels, and outcasts. But back even before the founding of this magical country, the Sefirot Tarot - rumored to have originated in the temples of Thoth and Hekate at the dawn of time - was already a popular game used for reflection and meditation and as tool for divination.
Drawing from the history of tarot - from Rider-Waite-Smith and Marseille, to Judaic Kabbalah and esoteric lore - this deck explores the deep roots of the archetypes and symbolism as well as the many uses of tarot as a game, a powerful divination tool, and a meditation aid.
The mystical, fantastical world of Dioscoria and the art nouveau/comic style of art breathes life into familiar Major Arcana imagery and court cards, while the Minor Arcana is a simplified and elegant contrast in the pip style.
