This lovely deck is unique in the elegance of its linework combined with the richness of its symbolism and iconography. Author and artist Nigel Jackson developed the Rose Tarot based on his unparalleled expertise in the Hermeticists of the 17th century, the Illuminist Freemasons of the 18th century, and the romantic esotericists of the 19th century. Well-suited for oracular readings, cartomancy, and meditation, this powerful deck is patterned after the Marseille Tarot and will be a welcome addition to any collection.

Before Aleister Crowley, before Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, before the Golden Dawn, before Papus, Éliphas Lévi, and Etteilla, the first author to describe an occult version of the Tarot was Louis-Raphaël-Lucrèce de Fayolle, comte de Mellet, writing in Antoine Court de Gébelin’s, 1781, eighth volume of his monumental encyclopedia, Monde primitif.
The comte de Mellet associated the Tarot’s trumps with the Classical Ages of Man: the Age of Gold, the Age of Silver, and the Age of Iron. He correlated the Trumps with the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, he described the minor suits in detail, and he provided the earliest discussion of a divination technique for the Tarot.
