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!

A work that represents famous rock artists and their legends and scenery, it is a tarot of 22 arcana edited in a very exclusive and special way. Very few copies worldwide.

Perhaps what is most striking about this deck of cards is the intelligent game of equivalences that Santiago establishes with the traditional tarot, and the beautiful balance that he tries to maintain so that the entire region feels represented in it in some way. Thus, Santiago tries to “translate” all the arcana into Murcia, in a certainly notable effort, where Cehegín, Lorca, Cartagena, Archena, Fortuna, the Mar Menor and other towns are reflected and, therefore, also incorporated.

This deck is very rare and isn't easy to find.

This is a museum-worthy and authentic edition of the Oswald Wirth Tarot, composed of 22 Major Arcana cards, printed circa 1926/1927 using original plates from Emile Nourry’s “Le Tarot des Imagiers du Moyen Âge.” Each card is beautifully printed in chromolithography and mounted on thick cardboard, exactly as used by early 20th-century tarologists for professional reading purposes.

Notable for its mystical abstract symbols subtly printed in gold backgrounds—believed to resemble Phoenician script or alchemical glyphs—this edition holds a unique place in tarot history. These mysterious inscriptions have long intrigued occultists and collectors alike.

🟨 The condition is remarkably well-preserved, with no evident signs of use. The cards are kept in a floral-painted wooden box (likely from the same period), which adds tremendous charm and authenticity.

🟩 A true gem for esoteric scholars, collectors of historical tarot, or anyone seeking to own a rare piece of tarot heritage.

The Taromantic (1987) occupies a distinctive place in modern French tarot history as a bridge between traditional Tarot de Marseille imagery and late-20th-century pedagogical cartomancy. Published by Grimaud, it reflects a period when tarot was increasingly taught as a structured language rather than an intuitive art alone.

Because meanings are printed directly on the cards, complete sets in good condition are increasingly sought after by collectors, educators, and beginners looking for historically grounded learning decks. A concise, honest, and intelligently designed tarot — now out of print.

🪶 Collector’s Note

The Tarots de l’Imaginaire by Ferenc Pintér is one of the most poetic and artistic tarot decks ever published by Lo Scarabeo in its Tarots d’Arts collection.

Each of the 22 Major Arcana was originally painted in distemper on canvas, revealing Pintér’s refined use of light, gesture, and emotion.

The originality of this deck lies in its ability to create sensations through imagery — a visual language of emotion that reconnects with the historical origins of the Tarot.
Every card becomes a stimulus that awakens within us dreams, desires, reflections, and memories, merging surrealism with Renaissance allegory.

This 1991 edition, directed by Pietro Alligo, is now long out of print and has become a sought-after collector’s piece among lovers of art tarots and symbolic imagery.

This charming miniature deck reproduces the 22 Major Arcana in a colorful, vibrant style typical of late-20th-century print adaptations. Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, it was designed as an accessible introduction to traditional tarot symbolism.

Each card retains the classic Marseille structure—Le Bateleur, La Force, L’Étoile, Le Monde, etc.—but with playful, simplified artwork that makes the imagery easy to interpret, even for beginners. Perfect for collectors of mini decks, magazine exclusives, or anyone fascinated by unusual tarot formats.

🔹 Edition year: 1990s (Télé Star magazine exclusive)
🔹 Cards included: 22 Major Arcana
🔹 Dimensions: approx. 4 × 7.7 cm
🔹 Instructions: none included (simple deck, easy to read)
🔹 Origin: French promotional release – now out of print
🔹 Condition: Very good overall (see photos)
🔹 Authenticity: Original Télé Star promotional cards – not a reprint, not a copy

🪶 Collector’s Note

Miniature tarot decks issued by magazines in the 80s–90s have become unexpectedly collectible. They were printed in limited runs, often discarded over time, and very few remain intact today—especially with clean edges like this set.
The Télé Star Tarot is particularly sought after for its cute pocket format and bright reinterpretation of the Marseille imagery. A great addition for collectors of rare French promotional tarots, Marseille variants, or tiny decks.
