Marchetti Tarot

Ciro Marchetti treats the 78 cards of this deck as members of a single theatrical ensemble, each one a character capable of stepping into any number of scenes. Many of the illustrations focus closely on faces, creating an almost conversational relationship between the card and the reader. The effect is that readings feel personal and alive rather than abstract. A 116-page illustrated guidebook by Lee Bursten accompanies the deck, exploring different reading approaches and offering sample spreads.
