🪶 Collector’s Note

All cards were made with my own intuition, intention and energy during a transitional time in my life. My artwork always reflects where I am on my journey and I bring that forth to life to help you in yours. I am not against the use of AI and use it for help in certain areas for productivity, but for me, as an artist, it’s important for the essence of my work to come from my own heart and imagination.

One of the most sought-after French fantasy tarots, Le Tarot d’Ambre is illustrated by Florence Magnin and based on the legendary saga Le Cycle des Princes d’Ambre by Roger Zelazny. Originally created as part of the Ambre role-playing universe, this tarot blends the structure of the Marseille tradition with vivid fantasy artwork and iconic characters from the novels.

The Major Arcana follow Marseille symbolism while portraying heroes and scenes from Amber. The Minor Arcana are rich, colorful, and detailed, with court cards directly inspired by the series. The deck’s fantasy landscapes give each card a dynamic, almost living atmosphere.

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.

Oswald Wirth's tarot occupies a unique place in the history of occultism. Unlike traditional Marseille decks intended primarily for cartomancy, Wirth designed his tarot as a symbolic and initiatic tool inspired by Hermetic teachings, Kabbalah, and Masonic philosophy. His work profoundly influenced generations of tarot scholars, including Papus and many twentieth-century esoteric authors.

Published by Éditions de l'Aigle in Canada, this 1999 edition is among the finest modern reproductions of Wirth's masterpiece. The metallic gold backgrounds enhance the elegance of the original illustrations while remaining faithful to the 1927 edition.
