Untold Tarot: The Lost Art of Reading Ancient Tarots Book

Untold Tarot presents historic styles of reading little known in the modern era. It teaches traditional ways of reading used for pre-twentieth-century decks, drawing upon older cartomantic arts such as blending and pairing cards, reading lines, and following "line of sight" to piece together untold stories according to the direction in which the characters are facing. The book also includes a selection of card spreads drawn from traditional French and Italian sources, plus methods of reading cards based on the author's own extensive research.

The Way of Tarot shows that the entire deck is structured like a temple, or a mandala, which is both an image of the world and a representation of the divine. The authors use the sacred art of the original Marseille Tarot--created during a time of religious tolerance in the 11th century--to reconnect with the roots of the Tarot’s Western esoteric wisdom.

Dynamic and Appealing

I’m enjoying getting to know the Talisman Tarot from TarotArts.

The box describes the deck as a “Monoprint tarot inspired by Magic, Cartomancy, & the Tarot de Marseilles.” I am not crazy about tuck boxes (who is?), but this is one of the nicest, maybe the nicest, I have handled: sturdy, pretty, and wonderfully tactile. I was offered a free matching velvet bag as well.

The images have a primitive (in the best sense), cave-drawing-like feel. I find this very appealing. What’s happening in the card doesn’t immediately present itself. You have to look at the card for a while and let the image emerge. For me, the effect of this is that studying and working with the cards is a more dynamic process than with obvious representational imagery.

In the suits, the creator (Oli Starfrosting) used a cool, predominately blue palette for the “hard” or “active” suits, and a hotter, predominately red palette for the “soft” or “passive” suits. This struck me as backwards or at least counter-intuitive at first, but now that I have spent some time with the deck, it feels right. These palette choices somehow “calibrate” the deck, dialing up the energy for the low-energy suits and dialing it down for the high-energy suits.

I find the court cards an especially strong aspect of the deck. With more traditional decks, we derive the energy of the card predominantly from the rank and suit. Here the imagery is also strongly comminicating a certain energy. Also, I’m finding it easier to bring out and ponder a shadow side to the court figures.

For whatever reason, the orientation (i.e. whether the figure faces left or right) is reversed from the TdM standard for most but not all of the court cards:

Page of Coins
Queen of Coins
King of Coins
Knight of Swords
Queen of Swords
King of Swords
Page of Wands
Knight of Wands
Page of Cups
Knight of Cups
Queen of Cups
King of Cups

I have yet to figure out if there is any system or layer of meaning to these choices on how to orient the figures.

I’m sensing that a main value of this deck is that I will be able to apply what I know, what I have worked out, for TdM as a whole, but also be able to think about the imagery in a freer, more intuitive way. Hope so.

Lovely Deck

This is a lovely deck I look forward to getting to know. I did get the booklet along with the cards and enjoyed reading the authors incite into his deck and tarot reading. Beautiful quality.

Gorgeous tarot: 'pip' style but manages to be a 'conversation for reading...'
