5.0 out of 5 stars Lo Scarabeo hits a home run!, November 3, 2004

This review is from: Liber T: Tarot of Stars Eternal (Cards)

I wasn't sure what to expect from this Tarot deck, but as the owner of more than 185 various Tarots, I was prepared to be underwhelmed, despite the Italian publisher Lo Scarabeo's reputation. I was wrong. This is a beautiful, if odd looking deck. The style of the artwork takes some getting used to, but anyone familiar with the Crowley/Thoth decks will have no trouble reading with this deck. They possess a rich symbology, wonderful colours, and a somewhat eerie atmosphere. I'm not sorry I added this beguiling tarot deck to my collection. I highly commend it. In the game of Tarot, with this deck, LS has hit a 'homer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice variation on the Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot, March 26, 2005

This deck is based card-for-card, image-for-image on the Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot painted by Freida, Lady Harris. Serio is clearly a more professional artist than Lady Harris. The images here are more simplified and design-oriented than those of the original Thoth deck. But Lady Harris wins in the end for being sharper, more direct, and more evocative.

How the Liber T deck works best is in direct comparison with the Thoth deck. Examine the corresponding cards of each of the decks side-by-side to see what Serio did differently, what he emphasized, and what he downplayed. It is an instructive exercise that reveals much about both decks.

Be sure to check out his Dante deck as well.

Although based upon Thoth, the colors aren't as vibrant and don't jump off the cards like the original deck. Plus contains some bestiality (bull doing a woman from behind) and other unusual sex scenes. I really wanted to like this deck, but I don't use it often. Sorry, stick with Thoth.
