Kamasutra Tarot - Kamasutra Tarot
This deck is a bridge between ancient Indian aesthetics and the symbolism of the Tarot: each card is filled with erotic nuance, but at the same time remains part of the archetypal system. Luxurious images in the style of Indian miniatures come to life in the energies of pleasure, love and spiritual search.
