The Tarot de Marseille is a beautifully crafted deck that embodies centuries of tradition and mysticism. This edition, part of the Anima Antiqua collection, faithfully reproduces the original designs from the late 19th century, offering 78 cards with intricate artwork and historical significance. Perfect for tarot enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone seeking a connection to the roots of divination, this deck is a masterpiece of cultural heritage.
This unique piece belongs to the tradition of Tarot de Besançon from the name of the French town where these kinds of cards were originally printed.
