The Minotarot 1982 ORIGINAL - No. 146/2000

This exceptionally rare and artistically striking deck is a numbered and limited edition tarot designed by Éric Provoost and published in Paris in 1982. The Minotarot reimagines the traditional 78-card tarot through the lens of Greek mythology, focusing on the legendary battle between Theseus and the Minotaur inside the Cretan labyrinth.

Each black-and-white card, enhanced with sepia tones, depicts surreal mythological scenes. When placed edge to edge, the cards form a continuous frieze illustrating Theseus' perilous journey, offering a poetic and visual narrative unlike any other tarot.

The box carries the quote: “En suivant le fil des cartes, se déroule le dédale des couloirs du labyrinthe et des destins de Thésée.”
(“In following the thread of the cards, the labyrinthine maze of corridors and the fates that befell Theseus will unwind themselves.”)

🪶 Collector’s Note

The Minotarot has become one of the most elusive French art tarots of the 1980s. Printed in just 2,000 numbered copies, it is prized for its unique concept: when aligned, all 78 cards form a continuous fresco of Theseus’ journey through the labyrinth. The stark black-and-white imagery, enriched with sepia mythological scenes, gives the deck a haunting, archaeological beauty. Complete copies with the original booklet rarely surface, making this edition a true treasure for tarot collectors and lovers of Greek mythology.
