This tarot deck was drawn by Niki de Saint Phalle. A booklet is included with the artists’ interpretation of each of the 22 major arcana, which are also structurally represented in the Tarot Garden in Tuscany, Italy.

Inspired by Antoni Gaudi's Parc Güell in Barcelona and the mannerist Bomarzo Park, Niki de Saint Phalle created her sculpture park in Garavicchio, in the southernmost part of Tuscany. In this vast garden, the 22 cards of the tarot's Major Arcana are represented in the form of enormous sculptures, 12 to 15 metres high, made of painted polyester and reinforced concrete, and covered in mosaics, mirrors, multicoloured ceramics and coloured Murano glass.

At the end of the 1970s, after her Nouveau Réalisme years of revolt and the more feminist period of the "Nanas", Niki de Saint Phalle created the fairy world of her Tarot Garden at Garavicchio. This enchanted world was, for her, the ultimate achievement of her oeuvre, its culmination. When she died in 2002, she left the Tarot Garden uncompleted.

A profound and visionary tarot, Les Tarots du Non-Être Suprême is one of the most unusual spiritual decks ever created. Originally published in 1979 and attributed to the mysterious Baudouin, this creation blends Eastern metaphysics, esoteric archetypes, and mystical diagrams into a system designed to explore the inner states of being.

This edition is a faithful handmade facsimile of the very rare original—an oversized deck printed in striking black and white, where Buddha-like figures embody cosmic roles: The Master of Karma, The One Who Harmonizes, The Diamond Being, The Dragon of the Sun…
Every card is a portal into the archetypes of transcendence, rebirth, destruction, and illumination.

Printed in superb detail, this deck revives a forgotten treasure of esoteric history. A must-have for collectors of rare tarots, spiritual practitioners, or lovers of symbolic art.

DETAILS

🔹 22 Major Arcana + 4 extra esoteric cards
🔹 Card size: 180 × 92 mm (large format)
🔹 Faithful reproduction of the 1979 original edition
🔹 350 gsm high-quality matte cardstock
🔹 Black-and-white illustrations with Eastern + cosmic symbolism
🔹 Referenced in Kaplan Encyclopedia Vol. III

🪶 COLLECTOR’S NOTE

This tarot occupies a legendary place in French esoteric history. Long out of print and elusive even among specialists, it represents a bridge between Eastern metaphysics and Western tarot structure. Original 1979 copies rarely surface; even experienced collectors have never handled one.
This handmade facsimile is therefore one of the only accessible ways to study and experience this philosophical masterpiece — a deck that was truly decades ahead of its time.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Large-format Marseille majors from the early 2000s are increasingly rare, especially in good condition.

Because it was sold without a booklet and only through specific magazine and European channels, surviving copies are limited.
A strong addition to any Marseille-focused collection.

Step into a raw and unsettling reinterpretation of the Tarot de Marseille with this rare limited edition by Martes Bathori.

The Tarot du Karlag is a striking and provocative deck, blending grotesque imagery, political undertones, and dark humor. Printed in bold direct tones, each card feels like a piece of underground graphic art rather than a traditional tarot.

This edition was strictly limited to 500 copies, making it a highly collectible piece for avant-garde tarot enthusiasts and collectors of obscure decks.

A rare and disturbing artistic tarot, far from traditional symbolism. The Karlag Tarot stands at the crossroads of printmaking, political satire, and esoteric imagery. Hard to find, especially complete with its original box.

A poetic and dreamy tarot deck from Lo Scarabeo’s Tarocchi d’Arte series, illustrated by the renowned Italian painter Giorgio Trevisan.
This 22-card Major Arcana set captures the tenderness of childhood imagination — a world of castles, dreams, and ethereal love, painted in luminous watercolor tones that feel both nostalgic and surreal.

🔹 Artist: Giorgio Trevisan
🔹 Publisher: Lo Scarabeo – Tarocchi d’Arte Collection
🔹 Edition: 2nd Edition, 1995
🔹 Format: 22 Major Arcana, large cards
🔹 Origin: Italy

Condition: Box and cards show some signs of wear (light creases and dents visible). Complete and original.

🪶 Collector’s Note:
Part of Lo Scarabeo’s most elegant art-tarot line, Tarocchi Romantici is one of Trevisan’s most poetic works — a rare and evocative glimpse into the Italian artistic tarot renaissance of the 1990s.

The Universal Manouche Tarot of the 21st Century was conceived and illustrated by Sandra Jayat in 2002. A painter and novelist born to Gypsy parents, Jayat created this tarot as a living transmission of Romani spiritual heritage—an oral culture preserved through memory, symbolism, and ancestral wisdom.

This unique tarot departs from classical European structures. The traditional figures such as the Emperor or Empress are deliberately absent, as they did not exist within Gypsy tribal culture at the time tarot symbolism emerged. Instead, they are replaced by archetypal men and women embodying universal human qualities, emphasizing intuition, lived experience, and divinatory meaning.

22 cards with explanatory booklet in French.

A rare and satirical tarot deck by Italian cartoonist Pino Zac (Giuseppe Zaccaria, 1930–1985), published by Grimaud / France Cartes in 1981. This humorous reinterpretation of the classic 22 Major Arcana imagines life in the distant year 2000 — a playful, eccentric vision mixing political commentary, pop culture, and irony.

Each card is vividly drawn in Zac’s signature caricature style, with exaggerated figures, surreal architecture, and futuristic twists. The result is a witty time capsule of early-1980s optimism and absurdity — a bridge between tarot tradition and modern satire.

🔹 Complete deck of 22 Major Arcana
🔹 Includes the original multilingual booklet
🔹 Original deluxe two-piece presentation box
🔹 Official deck of the Accademia di Tarologia Anima della Terra

The Tarot de Besançon is Valerio Verrea's faithful restoration and reinterpretation of one of the most fascinating historical tarot traditions of the eighteenth century. Based on the rare Besançon pattern created by Jean-Baptiste Benois, this edition preserves the distinctive iconography that replaces the Pope and Popess with the classical deities Jupiter and Juno, reflecting the influence of the Protestant Reformation across Switzerland, eastern France, and southern Germany.

Rather than simply reproducing a historic deck, Verrea carefully restores the artwork while presenting it as a modern tool for tarot study and personal exploration. The deck retains the traditional Marseille structure while offering a unique symbolic perspective through its distinctive archetypes.

Only 500 copies of this first edition were produced, each individually hand numbered. This example is No. 254/500.

🪶 Collector's Note

The Tarot de Besançon occupies a special place in tarot history alongside the classic Marseille tradition. While sharing the same overall structure, its replacement of the Pope and Popess with Jupiter and Juno gives the deck a unique historical and symbolic identity. This beautifully produced, hand-numbered edition by Dr. Valerio Verrea, limited to only 500 copies, is both an exceptional reading deck and a highly desirable collectible for enthusiasts of historical tarot traditions.

A compact and charming tarot deck for collectors, perfect for travel or adding to your vintage tarot collection.

Rare promotional tarot deck produced by Lancôme in 1979 to celebrate the launch of its iconic perfume Magie Noire.

🔹 Published exclusively as a marketing premium and distributed in limited quantities through the Italian women's magazine Annabella.
🔹 Complete set of 22 Major Arcana only.
🔹 Illustrated by acclaimed Italian artist Giancarlo Carloni, whose elegant watercolor and ink artwork combines Art Deco sophistication, late-1970s fashion aesthetics, and subtle occult symbolism.
🔹 One of the most distinctive features of the deck is The Fool (Il Matto), which is widely recognized as depicting David Bowie, making this deck particularly appealing to Bowie collectors as well as tarot enthusiasts.
🔹 Card size: approximately 11.7 × 8.4 cm (4.6 × 3.3 inches).
🔹 Original Lancôme "Magie Noire" tuck box included.
🔹 No booklet was issued with this promotional deck.
⚠️ Condition: Cards show honest signs of use and age. The original box is present but displays noticeable wear and damage, as shown in the photographs. A rare surviving example complete with its original packaging.

🪶 Collector's Note

Created to accompany the launch of Magie Noire, one of Lancôme's most famous fragrances, the Anabella Magie Noire Tarot stands among the most unusual promotional tarot decks ever produced. Rather than commissioning traditional occult imagery, Lancôme enlisted artist Giancarlo Carloni to create a stylish and contemporary reinterpretation of the Major Arcana, perfectly reflecting the elegance, mystery, and glamour associated with the perfume.

Produced in limited numbers and never sold through normal retail channels, the deck was intended as a luxury promotional item. Its refined artwork, fashion-inspired characters, and unmistakable late-1970s aesthetic make it highly desirable today among collectors of tarot, perfume memorabilia, advertising ephemera, and vintage design.

The presence of a Bowie-inspired Fool card only adds to the deck's charm and collectability, making it a fascinating crossover piece between tarot culture, fashion, and pop history.

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 cards are from the Tarot of the Old Path by Sylvia Gainsford & Howard Rodway, but issued as a 22-card Major Arcana-only promotional edition by the Italian magazine Astrella, under the title "I Tarocchi dell'Amore".

The photos show:

🔹 Complete 22 Major Arcana
🔹 No box present (at least not shown)
🔹 Heavy use and numerous creases throughout the deck
🔹 One card with a significant corner loss (Il Matto)
🔹 Edge wear and handling marks on most cards
🔹 Original Astrella card back design

Because it is a magazine-issued version rather than the standard AGM/U.S. Games edition, it has collector interest despite the condition.

🪶 Collector's Note

Unlike the standard commercial edition of the Tarot of the Old Path, this scarce Italian release was distributed as a magazine supplement by Astrella under the title I Tarocchi dell'Amore. Containing only the 22 Major Arcana, it represents an unusual and seldom-seen variant of one of the most beloved Pagan-themed tarot decks of the late twentieth century. Despite evident wear from use, complete examples remain difficult to find today.

A charming and increasingly scarce Italian mini tarot deck issued as a promotional insert with the magazine Stop during the 1990s.

The Hidden Marking System

You do not need to memorize any numerical correspondences.

This intuitive system makes the deck both practical and highly deceptive.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Marked tarot decks from the 1990s are increasingly difficult to locate, especially in French and in complete condition. This deck occupies a unique niche at the crossroads of tarot collecting and professional magic, making it an unusual and highly desirable item for both performers and collectors.

About This Edition

Unlike ordinary tarot decks, this set was created as a cultural and artistic object linked to a unique immersive performance exploring the symbolism of the Major Arcana. Visitors to Forte Sperone encountered actors embodying each archetype of the tarot in a dramatic journey through the historic fortress.

The reported limitation to just 27 copies suggests that this edition may have been reserved for collaborators, sponsors, or a very small circle of participants, making it extraordinarily scarce.

🪶 Collector’s Note

A truly exceptional piece at the crossroads of tarot history, Italian theater, and fine art. Combining the visionary world of Emanuele Luzzati with the experimental spirit of Teatro della Tosse, this complete 1991 set stands among the rarest and most unusual tarot-related artifacts to surface on the market.

For collectors of Emanuele Luzzati, theatrical ephemera, and historically significant tarot editions, this is a museum-worthy acquisition.

Step into the psychedelic mysticism of the early 1970s with the Starmaiden Tarot, a visually striking and highly symbolic deck born from the avant-garde circles of German producer Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser.

Deeply influenced by the counterculture era, cosmic consciousness, and esoteric exploration, this deck embodies the spirit of a time when music, mysticism, and altered states of perception merged into a single artistic language.

Created around the enigmatic figure of “The Starmaiden” — inspired by Gille Lettmann — the deck channels celestial femininity, intuition, and higher awareness through bold, radiant imagery reminiscent of underground magazines and glam-era aesthetics. Think Bowie meets cosmic tarot.

This edition is a faithful facsimile reproduction printed in France, preserving the vivid colors and hypnotic geometry of the original 1970s Sternenmädchens Wahrsagespiel.

• Lovers of psychedelic art
• Collectors of rare & unusual tarot systems

🪶 Collector’s Note

This deck emerges from a fascinating moment in esoteric history — where figures like Timothy Leary, psychedelic philosophy, and experimental music culture intersected with divination practices.

The Starmaiden archetype echoes the myth of Astraea, the celestial goddess of justice who ascended to the stars, symbolizing a lost golden age and the hope of its return.

A rare and evocative piece — both artifact and oracle.
