Publisher's Synopsis
The Mysticism and Magic of Tarot Cards and the Passion of Italian Illustration in One Enchanted Deck
#1 New Release in Mysticism
Tarot cards, witchcraft, and magical folklore. There is an invisible population living in our midst-enchanted "little people" including elves, fairies, and other magical creatures. They exist all over the world, and while they may be called by a variety of names, their mystical qualities are the same.
Rider-Waite tarot deck quality. This exquisitely illustrated set of 78 tarot cards made in the Rider-Waite-Smith standard reveals the magical stories of these mystical creatures to help us better understand both them and ourselves. Illustrated by Otto Gabos, a celebrated Italian comic artist and illustrator, Faeries and Enchanted Creatures is a unique gift for collectors and tarot card enthusiasts.
Tarot card magic from a scholar. The guidebook that accompanies the tarot cards describes the peculiarities of the magical creatures in the card deck in detail. It is authored by Francesca Matteoni, a scholar with expertise in the history of religion, anthropology of magic and witchcraft, and mysticism and magic in the Renaissance. She teaches at American universities in Florence, Italy and holds workshops on tarot cards, fables, and poetry.
In this 78 tarot card deck and guidebook, find:
- Creatures related to well-known traditions, such as the Leprechaun-Magician or the Anguana-High Priestess in the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana
- Tarot card expertise and Italian craftsmanship
- An ideal companion for self-exploration and insight
If you are new to tarot card magic or a fan of The Rider Tarot Deck, Light Seer's Tarot, or The Modern Witch Tarot Deck, Faeries and Enchanted Creatures: Tarot Card Magic and Mysticism (78 Tarot Cards and Guidebook) is for you.
