Comparative Tarot
A unique research deck designed for in-depth analysis and comparison of various Tarot traditions.
Comparative Tarot reveals the richness of the world's tarot heritage by placing the same Arcana in four different cultural and symbolic systems, allowing one to see new levels of meaning, patterns, and connections unavailable in classical reading.
Illustrations of each Arcana are presented in four versions: the classical European system, the Egyptian tradition, the historical Marseille style, and a contemporary artistic vision. This approach creates a multifaceted field of perception in which the practitioner can observe the evolution of the symbol, expand their understanding of archetypes, and construct more precise and profound interpretations.
