Le Tarot de la Réa – Alain Bocher, 1982 – Very Rare French Art Tarot

A remarkable and rare tarot deck conceived and illustrated by Alain Bocher, first published in 1982 by Alréa, Rennes.
Le Tarot de la Réa is both initiatic and divinatory, an artistic meditation on the hidden mechanisms of fate. Bocher’s stylized figures — surreal, angular, and deeply symbolic — embody the alchemical union of form and spirit. Each card resonates with philosophical reflection, echoing the quote printed inside:

“Il y a plus de choses dans le ciel et sur la terre que n’en rêve votre philosophie.” — Shakespeare (Hamlet)

This 78-card deck, drawn “selon la tradition,” reinterprets the Marseille archetypes through a modern spiritual lens.
Printed in France on thick matte cardstock, presented in its original two-part black box with gold interior and red ribbons.

🪶 Collector’s Note

A true hidden gem of French esotericism, Le Tarot de la Réa (1982) by Alain Bocher merges the Marseille tradition with surrealist symbolism. Its flowing, abstract figures and radiant colors reveal a deeply introspective vision of the Tarot — poetic, initiatory, and timeless.

Printed in a small independent run by Alréa in Rennes, this rare edition embodies the spirit of 20th-century artisanal tarots — intimate, philosophical, and crafted for seekers rather than the masses.
✨ Out of print and extremely hard to find — a true collector’s gem.
