About this deal

Gustav Klimt’s art held a primary position in early 20th century Vienna - a city rich with intellectual, aesthetic and psychological movements that contributed to the formation of modern man. I do not easily recommend a deck outside the more traditional ones - but this deck I heartily do so.

but from here, allow me to quote Kat herself as she explained it on Aeclectic Tarot Forum: ‘I didn’t know that my deck was being printed in China until my own copy (finally) arrived. The Golden Tarot is a sumptuous collage Tarot deck, skillfully blending Medieval and Renaissance artwork into whole Tarot scenes. The LWB itself is really a lovely "little" book - it is approximately 2 7/8" by 4 7/8", containing 199 pages (OK - so the last page is blank!

Above are some of my favorite cards from the Majors (although it kind of looks like the Fool has a scrotum dangling from his chin, which strikes me as odd). All that said, for the professional tarot reader who does a lot of public readings and lets their clients handle the decks, this is a great one and definitely worth getting for that purpose.

As Kat Black described, she has used the Waite/Colman Smith for over twenty years, and intended the newer version of her deck to combine what she values in both the Waite/Colman Smith and the Visconti-Sforza. With this lavish deck and companion book, you will discover the rich symbols of the tarot and let them illuminate your past, present, and future.The direction the characters in the cards face is very significant to me in terms of interpreting symbolism in a spread. To save costs on a deck they wanted to nonetheless maintain at high quality, they used a printer in China, rather than the usual Belgium one. What the images cannot do justice to, however, is the general feel and quality of the finished product. The cards of the Golden Tarot have been collaged entirely from artwork of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance period, and in symbolism are fundamentally based on the Rider-Waite.

Learn about each of the 36 classic cards, and practice creating pairs, building up to more complex readings. Initially, I thought that with some to be expected delays in publication, the projected date of mid-2003 would still give me sufficient time to obtain one for his Virgoan birthday.Not only are the images from a bygone era, but the way the cards are presented speaks of the care and luxurious aesthetics of yesteryear.

It doesn't spend any time on tarot basics, containing instead an introduction from the author describing the creative process and background to the cards, four spreads, the card meanings, and a substantial section citing the sources for each artistic element. The internet has been no help in my attempts to translate the Renaissance Milanese dialect, but if it’s anything like French, I’d say it likely means something like “In the right” or “With a good right”. Part of this, perhaps, is because of the nature of late Medieval art: most of it was religious and didactic, and the concept of the Artist as the source of meaning in a work hadn’t yet emerged. The cards are beautiful, the packaging is beautiful, the book is beautiful–so much care went into this. In the major arcana, the Fool and Strength are very similar to their Rider-Waite counterparts, but most others are a mix of the traditions.The source notes say it is actually four: the woman and garden, the dog and cliff, the silly hat, and the jewels.
