Features: Born in Italy, the Tarot has endured a century of suppression by the Roman Catholic Church, demonstrating the inevitable existence of this thought system. Tarot is a form of wisdom that teaches people to try to grasp the unknown, to remain positive and generous in both prosperity and adversity, and never to give up hope. Is Tarot accurate in predicting fate? Who are the mysterious figures in the Tarot cards? What is the connection between the Gypsies and Tarot? This book will take you back to Renaissance Europe, unveiling its mysteries and offering a glimpse into the historical evolution, rituals, and various legends and traditions of the "Book of Spirits" – Tarot. Has Renaissance culture become distant today? Not at all. The spirit of that era still lingers in these cards: the lives in castles and noble palaces, the poetry in elegant courtyards, the hard labor of ordinary people at home and on the streets. The glory of knights, the schemes of nobles, the quarrels of people, the spiritual worries of mystic scholars, the pursuit of knowledge by magicians and alchemists – all of these are brought back to life in Renaissance Tarot, reviving a remarkable era that has never truly left us.
The accompanying Renaissance Tarot is designed by Pietro Alligo and illustrated by Giorgio Trevisan. Its design inspiration comes from the famous Rider Waite Tarot, while maintaining excellent divinatory capabilities, it features more beautiful and elegant card faces. As a European model of Tarot art, whether it's the exquisite hand-painted patterns on the cards or the superior craftsmanship of the cards themselves, it conveys a refined yet casual Italian charm. As a Chinese product launched by the renowned Italian Scarabeo company (Lo Scarabeo s.r.l.), this set undoubtedly has exceptional collectible value.
