Book Description

April 8, 2005

The Ultimate Tarot for Dragon Lovers

The concept of dragons exists in virtually every culture. This is shown in the Minor Arcana of this deck which uses Asian dragons for Cups, European dragons for Swords, African dragons for Wands and Central and South American dragons for Pentacles. This allows you to better understand the energies of the cards, the cultures, and the Tarot, making this a powerful deck for divination.

The Major Arcana uses famous dragons. The Empress shows Tiamat, "representing primordial chaos, the female force and energy of creation." Death shows St. George who slew the dragon. The Devil is Apep or Apophis, "the dragon that, for the ancient Egyptians, blocked the way to Ra, the sun god, and guarded the regions of death." The Fool, however, is simply "The Hunter of Dragons, representing "mankind's insane thousand-year-old search for the dragon." The images may not be traditional, but the intent is there.

Because of its worldwide focus, this is a unique deck unlike any other. It's a virtual collection of world art for collectors. It shows how the power and symbolism of the Tarot can be universalized into virtually any tradition. And it will give you an incredible visual entry into the clout and majesty of the dragons of the world.

The Deluxe version of this comes with a beautiful, embroidered bag to hold your deck. The Mini Deck is small enough for pocket or purse and easy to carry anywhere. If you like dragons and the Tarot, this is a deck you simply must have!

4.0 out of 5 stars A portable dragon encyclopedia, January 18, 2010
This review is from: Dragons Tarot (English and Spanish Edition) (Cards)
Designed by Manfredi Toraldo, this Dragons Tarot shows Dragons from a variety of culture. Severino Baraldi's artwork is realistic, but somewhat explicit with nudity that seems over used. For example, all Queens are illustrated naked.

The cards are labeled in six languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French, placed at the top, while German and Dutch are arranged at the bottom.

The Major Arcana are numbered with roman numerals, starting at 0 with The Fool, written in yellow at the center top of each card. Red is used as backgound. The artwork in these is interesting, appropiately incorporating the dragon iconofy to the Tarot tradition. For example, The Fool portraits a rider on horse in a precarious situation at the edge of a cliff with a dragon flying above.

The Minor Arcanas are also numbered at the center top. The artwork on are same style as for the Major Arcana, but specific types of "dragons" are illustrated for each suit. Winged Serpent from America is used for pentacles, Winged Dragon from Europe for swords, Oriental Dragon from Asia for chalices, and Dinosaur from Africa for wands. The imagery also includes the suit's icon.

On the Court Cards, King, Queen, Knight and Infanta are used, Infanta replacing he Page on the Rider's Tradition. Not surprisingly, the corresponding "dragon" type for each suit is illustrated and is the ride for the Knight.

This is an interesting deck, but just somewhat uninspired since once you have seen a few of the cards on a suit you get a sense that you have seen them all. I recommend this deck for collectors looking for a dragon themed tarot. This deck comes with a fitting box and a Little White Book.
