🪶 Collector’s Note:
This is the essential reference for anyone studying the Tarot de Marseille.
Paul Marteau, director of the Maison Grimaud, revived the historic Nicolas Conver deck (1761) and reinterpreted each card through its colors, gestures, numbers, and symbols. His analysis remains the cornerstone of 20th-century tarot interpretation.
This 1981 edition retains the original 1949 layout and beautifully laminated card reproductions. A precious and historical volume of esoteric knowledge, printed in Switzerland and dedicated to Eugène Caslant.

Step into a luminous world of symbols, pilgrimage, and visionary collage art with Le Tarot de Saint-Jacques, an extremely rare Major Arcana–only deck created by French artist France Poëhr.
Printed in a limited edition of 5000 copies, with only 100 numbered and signed, this deck is a true collector’s treasure.

Each card is a hand-crafted photocollage, blending myth, mysticism, esoteric Christian motifs, nature, and surreal imagery. The result is a vibrant and deeply layered visual universe where every detail holds meaning. The colors are rich, the compositions compelling, and the atmosphere unique—both sacred and dreamlike.

🔹 22 Major Arcana
🔹 Oversized glossy cardstock
🔹 Original 80-page booklet in French included
🔹 Deck is NEW — plastic was opened once solely to check condition
🔹 Release: France Poëhr, limited production

A deck that rewards long contemplation, perfect for collectors of visionary, artistic, or rare French tarots.

🪶 Collector’s Note

This edition almost never appears on the market. The photocollage technique makes each card feel alive with symbols—far more striking in hand than any scan can show. A remarkable acquisition for lovers of rare French esoteric decks and artistic tarot history.

A luminous and imaginative oracle created by Yumi and published by Grimaud in 2002 — now out of print and increasingly difficult to find complete.

This richly symbolic deck blends cultural influences, femininity, intuition, and dream-like imagery. Designed to help the reader see clearer, deeper, and further, its messages encourage personal guidance, emotional clarity, and spiritual illumination.
Includes the original 40-page French booklet, offering concise interpretations for all 45 cards.

🔹 45 cards (24 major cards, 20 minor cards, 1 special “Carte de Yumi”)
🔹 Card size: approx. 6.5 × 12 cm
🔹 Original French 40-page booklet included
🔹 Published by Grimaud – 2002 (OUT OF PRINT)
🔹 Cards in very good condition
🔹 Box shows light wear from age and storage

A gentle, feminine, esoteric oracle ideal for collectors, intuitive readers, or lovers of symbolic and multicultural imagery.

🪶 COLLECTOR’S NOTE

A sought-after Grimaud publication from the early 2000s, Le Tarot de Yumi is one of the oracles that quietly disappeared from circulation, making complete sets surprisingly hard to locate today. Its expressive artwork and strong feminine energy give it a unique place among French oracles of its era.
A beautiful find — especially in such well-preserved condition.

Title: The Bohemian Tarot
Publication Date: May 2007
Publisher: Dangles
Pages: 400
Language: French

Le Tarot des Bohémiens is one of the foundational texts of Western occultism, written by Papus (Dr. Gérard Encausse). First published in 1889, this monumental work presents the Tarot as the absolute key to the occult sciences, uniting divination, Hermetic philosophy, Kabbalah, alchemy, numerology, and symbolism into a coherent system.

In this modern Dangles edition (2007), Papus’ complete text is preserved in French, including his detailed explanations of the Major and Minor Arcana, complex symbolic correspondences, esoteric diagrams, and analytical tables. The book explores Tarot not merely as a tool of divination, but as a universal philosophical system revealing the laws governing matter, spirit, and transformation.

A cornerstone for serious students of Tarot, esotericism, and Hermetic traditions, this volume remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Tarot beyond fortune-telling.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Le Tarot des Bohémiens is universally regarded as Papus’ magnum opus and one of the most influential Tarot books ever written. Frequently cited alongside Éliphas Lévi and Stanislas de Guaita, this work shaped the modern occult revival and the philosophical interpretation of Tarot in the 20th century.

Though reissued, it remains highly sought after by collectors, scholars, and advanced practitioners for its depth, rigor, and historical importance. A true pillar of esoteric literature and an indispensable reference for any serious occult library.

A remarkable and highly collectible early printing of one of the most influential works ever written on tarot and Western esotericism.

Written by Papus, founder of the modern Martinist movement and one of the foremost occult scholars of the Belle Époque, Le Tarot des Bohémiens is widely regarded as a cornerstone of modern tarot studies. First published in 1889, the work was extensively revised and expanded into the celebrated “Édition définitive” of 1911, incorporating Papus’ mature reflections on symbolism, Kabbalah, numerology, and the tarot as the “absolute key to occult science.”

This copy is an early printing by Éditions Dangles, the historic Parisian publisher that preserved and reissued many of Papus’ most important works. Although printed later, likely between 1925 and 1935, it faithfully reproduces the complete text and layout of the definitive 1911 edition.

Historical Importance

Few books have had a greater influence on modern tarot than Le Tarot des Bohémiens.

His ideas deeply shaped twentieth-century tarot scholarship and continue to inspire readers and researchers today.

🪶 Collector’s Note

While not a true 1911 first printing, this is an authentic early Dangles issue of the definitive edition and remains highly sought after by collectors of tarot, occult literature, and French esoterica. Copies in original wrappers with unopened pages are increasingly scarce and offer a tangible connection to the formative period of modern tarot history.

A rare and highly unusual historical tarot deck published in France in 1987 to commemorate the Millennium of the Capetian Dynasty (987–1987).

Created by French artists and cardmakers Gilles and Anne-Marie Hipeau, this remarkable deck was issued as part of the official celebrations marking one thousand years since the election of Hugues Capet, founder of the Capetian royal line that ruled France for centuries.

Rather than depicting traditional tarot figures, the deck reimagines the tarot through French royal history. Thirty kings and queens, alongside emblematic historical figures such as Joan of Arc and Eleanor of Aquitaine, replace the conventional court and major arcana characters while preserving the structure of a complete 78-card tarot deck.

This copy is No. 75 from the limited "dessin" edition of only 140 numbered examples.

Printed on Arches Pure Rag Vellum Paper (Papier Vélin Chiffon Arches Pur), one of France's most prestigious fine-art papers traditionally used for printmaking, engraving, and watercolor.

Produced according to the methods of the old French master cardmakers, the cards were printed on laminated paper stock and issued in two versions:

• 140 numbered "dessin" editions (black-and-white)
• 50 numbered and signed color editions

The Major Arcana and court figures are associated with significant personalities from French history, including Hugues Capet, Saint Louis (Louis IX), Philippe le Bel, Catherine de Médicis, Louis XIV, Marie-Antoinette, and many others.

A fascinating blend of tarot symbolism, genealogy, royal history, and French cultural heritage.

Includes:

• Complete 78-card deck
  Card Size: approximately 15.5 × 8.5 cm (6.1 × 3.3 inches)
  
• Original explanatory booklet
• Original numbered box
• Original publisher presentation

🪶 Collector's Note

The Tarot des Capétiens is one of the most elusive French historical tarot decks produced during the 1980s. Created to celebrate the thousand-year legacy of the Capetian dynasty, it was issued in an exceptionally small edition of only 140 numbered copies. Printed on luxurious Arches rag paper and conceived as both a historical study and an artistic object, the deck occupies a unique place between tarot, genealogy, and French royal history. Examples rarely appear on the market, particularly complete and uncolored copies such as this one.

Size: 8.75 in(22cm) x 4.5 in(11cm)
Date: 1979. Editions Ergonia

An extremely rare piece for collectors and connoisseurs.
NOT JUST A TAROT, IT IS AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF ART!

This deck is known by several other names, including Tree of Thoth Tarot, Tarot of Great Painters, Le Tarot des Grands Peintres, and Arbre du Thot. This is the First Edition of the deck, printed by Editions Ergonia in 1979.

The cards have never been used for readings and have only been removed from the wooden box a few times for viewing. The cards are in near mint to MINT unused condition. This is a Major Arcana only deck, consisting of 22 cards.

The illustrations were taken from classical paintings from several time periods. This deck was printed in France in two different sizes, this is the bigger of the two sizes. The smaller edition was briefly distributed in North America by US Games Systems in 1981.

This deck contains two additional cards, in French, one giving the artist for each card, the other showing the Arbre du Thoth (Tree of Thoth) which gives correspondences for a part of the body for each card (11 body parts). The pack is taken entirely from extant paintings and other art forms whose original inspiration was not necessarily related to tarot. The Encyclopedia of Tarot (Vol. 3, pg 224-2251) also gives the title of each painting with artist. This is a very hard to find set, in amazing condition!

An inspiring and meditative dream-interpretation set combining a richly illustrated deck and a complete guidebook.
Created by dream specialists Dr. Fiona Zucker and Jonny Zucker, Le Tarot des Rêves offers a gentle approach to understanding the messages of the subconscious through universal symbols such as Lune, Arbre, Soleil, and Bébé.

Each card depicts a key dream image on the front and, on the back, guiding questions, positive and negative aspects, and an aide-mémoire message — making this deck both intuitive and educational.
The accompanying 160-page book explores the symbolic language of dreams, offering interpretation techniques and exercises for self-knowledge and emotional balance.

Le Tarot Divinatoire by Papus (Dr. Gérard Encausse) is one of the most influential and foundational works in the history of tarot and Western esotericism. First published in the late 19th century, this classic reference deciphers the symbolic, kabbalistic, and astronomical structure of the Tarot, presenting it as a complete divinatory and initiatory system.

The Papus Tarot is available HERE.

This volume provides the exact meaning and value of each of the 78 Tarot cards, going far beyond simple fortune-telling. Papus explains how the Tarot functions as a universal key, capable of addressing practical questions of daily life as well as deeper spiritual and metaphysical inquiries.

A remarkable feature of this edition is that each of the 78 cards is illustrated within the book and designed to be cut out and mounted on cardboard, allowing the reader to reconstruct a complete Tarot deck directly from the pages—an approach that reflects the pedagogical and initiatory spirit of early occult teachings.

Paperback 15.5 x 24 - 348 pages -
Condition: Very good condition for its age.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Papus was one of the central figures of French occultism and a key transmitter of Tarot knowledge to the modern era. Le Tarot Divinatoire is not merely a book—it is a cornerstone of esoteric literature that influenced generations of tarot readers, occultists, and symbolic scholars. Long out of print and increasingly difficult to find, this volume represents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of classical occult wisdom in its original, scholarly form.

⚜️ Le Tarot du Graal – John Matthews & Giovanni Caselli

The Grail Tarot unites two of the most powerful legends in Christian mysticism:
the Quest for the Holy Grail and the Order of the Templars.

This stunning tarot explores their symbolic and spiritual connections through a Renaissance-inspired visual universe, where sacred geometry, chivalric ideals, and esoteric Christianity converge.

Each Major Arcana represents a Grand Master of the Templar Order, while the four suits of the Minor Arcana correspond to the four sacred relics of the Grail tradition:

- The Stone,
- The Sword,
- The Spear, 
- The Chalice.

With richly detailed imagery by Giovanni Caselli, this deck serves both as a divinatory tool and a spiritual guide, illuminating hidden links between Tarot, Grail lore, and Templar mysticism.

🪶 Collector’s Note

A luxurious French edition of this iconic esoteric tarot, long out of print. Highly valued for its large-format cards, scholarly companion book, and museum-quality artwork blending Christian iconography and Arthurian legend.

Long ago there lived a king of great renown named Nissanka. His clairvoyance allowed him to solve many puzzles. His wisdom was transmitted to him by a magic book given to him by Shandra, the magician. A very special tarot that contained only images filled with colors, these magical images allowed visions of the future.

Illustrated during the naps of an angel... and by Maria MESTRE. "The colors exist only by the radiation of the light from which they come. They are reflected on all things from which they reveal their appearance to us. But only a certain number of them are allowed to us to see and understand."

The Roy Nissanka tarot is a divinatory set based on the myths of the medieval Sri Lankan king Nissanka. In the major cards you will find magical scenes related to Sri Lankan culture.

🪶 Collector’s Note

“The French edition of Le Tarot Mystique du Rêveur is notoriously difficult to find. Most copies were distributed only briefly, making complete sets with both the full card deck and the 248-page guide increasingly scarce. Its dreamlike artwork and deep introspective approach make it one of the most treasured Barbara Moore–related editions.”

Le Tarot Mystique is a rare and deeply symbolic tarot deck created and painted by Alexandre Mourouzi, a singular figure in late-20th-century Swiss tarot art. Conceived in 1978 and published in 1983 by Samjac SA (Lausanne), this deck stands apart for its introspective, spiritual, and highly artistic approach.

Unlike standard 78-card tarot decks, Le Tarot Mystique focuses exclusively on the 22 Major Arcana, presented as an initiatory path structured into three successive cycles of evolution. Each card represents a stage of inner transformation, blending universal symbolism, spiritual philosophy, and Mourouzi’s distinctive painterly language.

Hand-painted artwork gives the deck a meditative, sometimes unsettling atmosphere, far removed from traditional Tarot de Marseille iconography. This is a tarot designed not for fortune-telling alone, but for contemplation, psychological exploration, and symbolic study.

This copy belongs to the first limited edition, numbered and hand-signed by the artist, with a total print run of 2,000 copies only—now scarce on the collector’s market, especially when complete.

About the Tarot

First published in 1987, Le Tarot Symbolique Maçonnique is a masterpiece of symbolic design. Jean Beauchard reinterpreted the tarot through the lens of Freemasonry, Hermetic philosophy, and initiatory tradition, creating a deck of extraordinary depth and visual power.

The result is both a divinatory tool and a sophisticated symbolic work, appreciated by tarot historians, esoteric students, and collectors of Masonic artifacts.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Original uncut sheets from Grimaud are exceedingly scarce, particularly for such an iconic and specialized deck.

A magnificent and highly unusual collector’s piece for tarot enthusiasts, Freemasonry scholars, and lovers of symbolic art.

Book's extract :
A STORY AS OLD AS THE WORLD

The origin of tarot cards is practically unknown; it is lost in the mists of time, beyond the boundaries of myth. In fact, it was from pre-romanticism and romanticism with the triumph of philology and archeology that the supposed “invention” of the tarot cards began an increasingly marked return to very ancient initiatory origins.

Tarot cards were then only accessible to a small minority, at the cost of difficult challenges to overcome.
Some, like the philologist Court de Gébelin, considered that the tarot cards were the fruit of Egyptian civilization. Others, like Abbot Ephilas Levi, occultist and esoteric researcher, highlighted the analogy between the twenty-two major arcana and the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. For some, tarot cards originated in India where, 100 years BC. BC, a game of round cards representing the ten incarnations of the god Vishnu was very successful.

Others saw it as a legacy of ancient oracles, the product of the bohemian imagination or even the last legacy of a mysterious and vanished civilization: the mythical Atlantis to which Plato alluded in one of his famous dialogues.However, and whatever the civilization at the origin of the tarot cards, the essential lies in the religious and symbolic meaning which underlies each card so as to constitute a complete cycle, a sort of initiatory poem which revolves around a long process of purification and internal evolution. Indeed, if we consider the deep symbolism of the blades, it is not difficult to recognize in them the bases of Western esotericism, the laws of magic of the ancients synthesized in the famous "emerald tables" attributed to Hermes Trismegistus: “On earth as in heaven, above as below; a part represents the whole, the whole includes two poles, one masculine and the other feminine; the extremes touch, etc.”
