The gold tarot or visconti-sforce tarot stands out for being the most complete of the ancient tarot decks that are preserved. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of his marriage, in 1451, Francesco Sforza commissioned the well-known artist Bonifacio Bembo to create a deck of cards in his honor. Originally used as a playing card, over the next three centuries these cards evolved into divination tools, which is how they are most commonly used today. Each card in the exquisitely painted visconti-sforce deck is a tiny masterpiece. The scenes are richly done with gold leaf, and made with pigments made from pulverized lapis lazuli, Mosque and other precious minerals. In this edition of The Golden Tarot, its author, Mary Packard, does an excellent job of reintroducing the Visconti-Sforza Tarot to today's public. It offers clues about its history and symbolism, while valuing its beauty and its usefulness in divination. Once again, we see that the tarot is an expression of an eternal philosophy, a heritage that we cannot allow to be lost. This beautiful kit includes: 78 tarot cards recreated in the Renaissance era and exquisitely painted. Book that describes the history behind the cards and instructions for using them to obtain information about our future. Purple satin tarot deck set presented in an elegant case.
