Presented in a black fabric clamshell box tied with white ribbons and adorned with the Moon card (“La Lune”) on the cover, this edition exemplifies Il Meneghello’s artisan craftsmanship.

This one is a nice curiosity: a miniature Major Arcana tarot deck distributed by the Italian magazine Pratica, apparently as part of an astrology/cartomancy promotion ("Oroscopo Cartomanzia").
The artwork is based on the Tarot de Marseille, but redrawn in a simplified, modern style and printed in a tiny pocket format.
From the photos:
🔹 Complete 22 Major Arcana (0–21)
🔹 Original Pratica card backs
🔹 Very small pocket format
🔹 No box shown
🔹 Used condition with edge wear and handling marks
🔹 Cards remain complete and readable
🪶 Collector's Note
Italian magazine-issued tarot decks have developed a small but dedicated collector following. Produced as inexpensive promotional items rather than commercial tarot releases, many disappeared after use. Complete surviving examples such as this one provide an interesting glimpse into the popular cartomancy culture of Italy during the 1980s–1990s.

The life and works of Jane Austen serve as the inspiration for the style and symbolism of this fully-illustrated 78-card deck. The aces of the minor arcana suits are each represented by a different one of Austen's novels: Candlesticks (Wands) = Pride and Predjudice, Teacups (Cups) = Emma, Quills (Swords) = Persuasion, and Coins (Pentacles) = Sense and Sensibility.
ORIGINAL LO SCARABEO DECK, NOT A COPY!
This deck contains 78 cards.
Cards measure approximately 6.5 x 11.5 cm
Cards are bilingual.
The deck is sealed(see first and last picture of the deck you will receive)
⚠️ This Lo Scarabeo version did NOT come with any booklet when it came out.
A VERY RARE and a very unique artistic piece for collectors and connoisseurs.
“The Tarot of Jane Austen” is good for problem solving and for meditation. The writings of Jane Austen add to the basic meanings of the Tarot cards. However, the main focus of this deck is self-actualization. Because of this, the deck is not suited for divination. Moreover, a deep knowledge of Austen’s novels is needed to understanding the cards. Therefore the deck is suited more for private use.

A highly unusual and beautifully surreal erotic deck produced in the 1970s by Angel Playing Cards Co., Japan. Known among collectors as “Shapely”, this set features a series of wonderfully strange, dreamlike illustrations: nude Kings, Queens, and Jokers whose bodies intertwine with flowers, butterflies, fruits, vines, horses, and fantastical hybrid forms.
The artwork is uncredited, but unmistakably bold — a fusion of sensuality, fantasy, and delicate pointillism. Each court card is a miniature artwork, blending eroticism with mythic symbolism. The four aces also feature unique illustrations, making the deck stand out from all standard productions of the era.

A fascinating and atmospheric oracle inspired by the artistic traditions, symbolism, and geomantic wisdom of the Far East.
Created by Lo Scarabeo, this elegant 32-card deck draws its inspiration from classical Japanese art, particularly the refined world of traditional woodblock prints and decorative paintings associated with masters such as Utamaro. Rich golden backgrounds, dragons, warriors, noblewomen, ceremonial objects, and auspicious symbols combine to create a visually striking oracle unlike any other produced by the publisher.
This oracle is influenced by the principles of Eastern geomancy, an ancient divinatory tradition concerned with the hidden energies that shape everyday life and destiny. Rather than following a traditional tarot structure, each card functions as an independent oracle symbol, offering intuitive guidance through archetypal imagery rooted in Japanese culture and spirituality.
The result is a beautiful and unusual oracle that blends Japanese aesthetics, Eastern philosophy, and modern divination into a compact yet highly evocative reading system.
🔸 Deck Details
Title: Japanese Oracle (Oracolo Giapponese)
Publisher: Lo Scarabeo, Italy
Year: 2002
Number of Cards: 32
Languages: Italian, Spanish & Portuguese
Theme: Japanese symbolism, dragons, geomancy, Eastern wisdom, traditional Japanese art, spiritual guidance and divination
Card Size: Approximately 9.8 × 6.2 cm
Bonus: PDF guide in English, French, and Italian (18 pages) sent by email after purchase.
🔸 Condition
🪶 Collector's Note
The Japanese Oracle is one of Lo Scarabeo's more unusual and lesser-known creations. Unlike many modern "Japanese-themed" decks, its imagery is rooted in traditional East Asian artistic motifs and references the influence of geomantic practices that have shaped spiritual life throughout the Far East for centuries.
Its luminous golden palette, elegant dragon imagery, and distinctive visual atmosphere make it immediately recognizable among early Lo Scarabeo releases. Complete examples have become increasingly difficult to locate, especially with the original booklet intact, making this an appealing acquisition for collectors of rare oracle decks, Japanese-inspired esoteric art, and vintage Lo Scarabeo publications.

This beautifully restored Jean Dodal Tarot is one of the purest and most respected recreations of the early Tarot de Marseille tradition. Originally engraved in Lyon around 1701, the Dodal deck is considered a foundational “tarot-source,” transmitting the symbolic science of medieval Master Image Makers.
Jean-Claude Flornoy — renowned for his museum-level restorations — faithfully recreated this historic deck by studying the two surviving originals, held at the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the British Museum.
His work revives the vivid colours, bold lines, and subtle symbolic language of the 18th-century engravers, allowing the Dodal imagery to speak again with clarity and strength.
🔹 Edition: 2009, Jean-Claude Flornoy
🔹 Cards: 78 cards
🔹 Size: approx. 132 × 73 mm
🔹 Languages: French & English booklet included
🔹 Condition: Excellent — cards crisp and clean; box shows light shelf wear
🔹 Authenticity: Faithful Flornoy restoration based on the two surviving originals
🪶 Collector’s Note
The Flornoy restoration of the Jean Dodal tarot is now highly sought after, as Flornoy’s editions were produced in limited runs and are no longer printed.
Collectors prize this version for:
— its historical accuracy,
— its clean linework and vivid colours,
— and its uncompromising fidelity to the 1701 engravings.
An essential reference deck for anyone serious about the Tarot de Marseille lineage.
