Maison Grimaud is putting its great classics of divinatory tarots back in the spotlight.

Created by Adèle Moreau, a famous 19th century fortune-teller and pupil of Miss Lenormand, the Jeu de la Main compiles three disciplines into 58 cards: palmistry, planetary astrology and cartomancy.

Le Nouveau Jeu de la Main is reinventing itself thanks to a more playful and modern approach to make fortune-telling accessible to everyone.

Box of 84 cards including a set of 58 blades, palmistry initiation sheets, game keyword sheets, draws and an explanatory video of the game.
Manufacture of cards in France and Boite in Italy

NOTES: Cards and explanations are in French.

Brand new, the deck is factory sealed. See the first and last photos for the deck that you will receive.

A fascinating and uncommon piece of French esoteric history, this card appears to originate from an early 20th-century occult publication inspired by the teachings of Papus (Dr. Gérard Encausse) and the broader Martinist tradition.

The card represents La Force (Strength) and presents a rich network of symbolic correspondences drawn from the French esoteric tradition.

🔹 Arcana No. 11 – La Force
🔹 References to Saint-Yves d'Alveydre
🔹 Original mounted vintage card
🔹 Approximate card size: 12 × 7.7 cm (4.72 × 3.03 inches)
🔹 Presented inside a rigid magnetic photo holder/frame
🔹 Magnetic display holder size: 9 × 13 cm (3.54 × 5.12 inches)
🔹 Ready for display
🔹 Visible wear and patina consistent with age and use of the card

🪶 Collector's Note

During the first decades of the twentieth century, numerous French occult reviews and correspondence courses distributed tarot and initiatory teachings through detachable supplements. Students often mounted the cards themselves, creating personalized working sets that combined tarot symbolism, astrology, Kabbalah, and the teachings of influential occultists such as Papus and Saint-Yves d'Alveydre.

Rather than being part of a commercially manufactured tarot deck, the card was likely issued as a collectible magazine insert or educational supplement. Readers would cut out the cards and mount them onto cardboard to gradually assemble a complete set for study and divination—a practice common in French occult circles during the interwar period.

Surviving examples are increasingly difficult to find today, particularly as individual pieces. Beyond its value as a tarot-related artifact, this card is a genuine fragment of the French occult revival that shaped much of modern Western esotericism.

A wonderful addition to any collection of tarot history, Martinism, occult literature, French esotericism, or rare paper ephemera.

This exceptionally rare Papus Tarot Divinatoire set is the first re-edition of the original 1909 Papus tarot, published by Éditions Dusserre in the early 1980s. This is not a modern reproduction, but a historically faithful re-edition made for serious students of occult science and cartomancy.

The Papus Tarot book if you want to details is available HERE

The deck contains the complete set of 80 cards (78 traditional arcana plus 2 additional cards), printed in a large format (78 × 120 mm) on very thick cardstock with square corners, exactly as intended for study and ritual use. The structure follows Papus’ original esoteric system, designed as a rigorous tool for initiates familiar with symbolic, kabbalistic, and occult correspondences.

Included is the original French-language booklet, explaining the philosophical and symbolic foundations of the deck. The original Papus tarot is preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, making this edition one of the closest accessible versions for collectors and practitioners.

Condition is excellent considering the age. Cards are clean and well preserved; the booklet is in very good condition. The box shows visible wear on the back, as shown in the photos.

🪶 Collector’s Note
This Dusserre Papus Tarot is a cornerstone piece for advanced tarot collectors and esoteric historians. Unlike later commercial reproductions, this early 1980s edition was produced with scholarly intent and limited circulation. Its size, thickness, and square corners mark it as a deck meant for study rather than casual reading. Copies in complete condition are increasingly difficult to find, making this a museum-grade acquisition for serious connoisseurs of occult tarot.

Rather than being part of a commercially manufactured tarot deck, the card was likely issued as a collectible magazine insert or educational supplement. Readers would cut out the cards and mount them onto cardboard to gradually assemble a complete set for study and divination—a practice common in French occult circles during the interwar period.

The card represents La Lune (The Moon) and presents a rich network of symbolic correspondences drawn from the French esoteric tradition.

A work that explains the values of the Egyptian Tarot, its meanings in alchemical, astrological and Kabbalistic values, forms in which the homogeneous science of the ancient Egyptians has come down to us today. 
The long road to the Promised Land was accompanied by the Great Being who has been spoken of since the distant days of Atlantis, when the now Ascended Master Saint Germain, and representative of the Cosmic Lord of the Seventh Ray on our planet, was a high priest of the Temple of Mysteries in Poseidon, the capital of the Empire of Atlantis. 

After the already foreseen catastrophe they brought eternal knowledge to the African continent and created Egypt, which was for thousands of years the repository of that knowledge. To remember the disastrous results that, blinded by the Power of the World, human beings produced in Atlantis, the ancient initiated priests created a simple game based on 22 sacred numbers, with symbols that linked the two organs that distinguish Homo Sapiens - the brain and the hands - and added a numerological Sphinx that allowed infinite combinations of games and entertainment to stimulate the ability to concentrate and to guarantee the transmission of the knowledge contained in that wheel, which in Alexandria was called Tarot. 
Eloquent and direct in symbology, its meanings are based on alchemical, astrological and cabalistic values, forms in which the homogeneous science of the ancient Egyptians has come down to us.
