Tarot Egyptien: Grand Jeu de l'Oracle des Dames III (c.1865)





The Grand Jeu de l'Oracle des Dames was published circa 1865. This deck, referred to by Hoffman and Kroppenstedt as Grand Etteilla III, has neo-Gothic designs that differ greatly from Etteilla's own deck.


H.R. Giger/Akron: Baphomet Tarot (2000)






In this Tarot set, Giger chooses 22 of his previously published works to represent the major Arcana. Deck compiler Akron uses Giger's images to explore shadow magic and the dark philosophies of the Knight's Templar.

Serravalle Sesia Tarot (1880)





The Ancient Italian Tarot deck is a reproduction of a deck produced in Serravalle Sesia, Italy in 1880 by an anonymous artist. This 1880 deck was in turn based on an earlier deck created in 1835 by the Lombard engraver Carlo Dellarocca. The Classic Tarot is also based on this early 19th century deck. The Ancient Italian Tarot deck has fine line detail in keeping with the engraved original. The coloring, costumes and backgrounds are lavish and rich in color. The card titles are in Italian. Card numbers are given in all four corners and the upper center. The lower right number is upside-down to aid in interpreting reversals.


Lon Milo DuQuette: Tarot Of Ceremonial Magick (1995)


The Tarot of Ceremonial Magick is a deck created by Lon Milo DuQuette. On each card is shown the Zodiacal, Enochian, Ceremonial, Goetic, Tattvic, and Elemental components, along with the card's place in each of those systems, and its relationships to other cards. For students of Crowley's works, this deck makes his conceptual connections more accessible.

Lon Milo DuQuette has been involved with occult studies since the late 60s, and has become an acknowledged and widely recognized authority within the world of modern occultism. His previous publications include Magick of Thelema, The Tarot of Ceremonial Magick, Angels, Demons & Gods of the New Millennium, and the humorous, biographical My Life with the Spirits.
