2005 Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR) Winner of Best Interactive Sideline category! Heralding archetypal elements of traditional Tarot, The Gilded Tarot is teeming with shimmering, classic imagery. High priestesses in flowing robes, wise emperors, knights on majestic steeds, mystics wielding magical tools, and other intriguing characters from medieval times abound in the Major and Minor Arcana. This richly colored, easy-to-use deck also features standard symbols for the card suits--swords, cups, wands, and pentacles--which provides universal appeal.

This kit also includes The Gilded Tarot Companion, a clear and insightful guidebook to the deck's structure and each card's significance.

One of Aeclectic Tarot's Top Ten Decks of all Time!

Publisher Review: 

The 21st Century Tarot
Until 1910, the field of Tarot design was both rarified and highly varied. In that year, Waite and Smith published their Tarot with Rider. At the same time, Waite and Rider did something quite unique—they published a book that was designed to go along with a new Tarot. This was the first time such a combination had ever been tried. Combined with Waite and Smith’s pictorial designs for the Minor Arcana, a literal revolution in Tarot began, and over the next century, the RWS has become the model against which all other Tarot decks are measured. 

The result of this has been both a blessing and a curse. It’s been a blessing because so many books have been published that could apply to the RWS model. It’s been a curse in that any valuable variations have often been overlooked or even shunned, and a huge number of decks have been nothing more than a redrawing of the RWS. So how many copies of the Mona Lisa do we really need? Do we really need the Mona Lisa redrawn with the face of a cat? And yet, that is what so many artists and designers have done with the Tarot.  .  .  read more

Being an ever-practical Capricorn, I’ve never had a close relationship with The High Priestess card. But lately, I’ve been actively seeking her wisdom.

While the images of the Tarot often have obvious, archetypal meanings, often the less-prominent images of the cards in a spread can be just as telling of a situation. Janina Renée, author of Tarot: Your Everyday Guide and Tarot Spells, details how the imagery of the Tarot can be used for clarification and further illumination of readings and situations.

A “nightmare scenario” is a situation where everything goes wrong beyond all expectations. Legends of magick are rife with such stories. Perhaps the most famous occurs in Goethe’s poem, Der Zauberlehrling, which was popularized in Dukas’ symphonic poem, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. In the story, an apprentice magician casts a spell on a broomstick to fetch water. When he doesn’t know how to stop...

The Tarot is a living being! It has its own intelligence, a personality you can feel every time you use the Tarot.
