5.0 out of 5 stars Tosco pero tradicional (Crude but traditional), April 24, 2010
This review is from: Spanish Tarot/Espanol: 78-Card Deck (Cards)
Después del encanto del Gran Tarot Esotérico de Fournier, quise probar esta baraja del estilo marsellés bilingue con los títulos en español y en inglés. Sin embargo los dibujos son de una baraja más antigua que la de Conver o la de Burdel y quizá por eso son más toscos que los de esas barajas. Los del español se parecen bastante a las cartas del mazo de Jean Dodal, otra baraja antigua y muy difícil de encontrar. Por eso me esforcé en acostumbrarme a sus ilustraciones distintas y ahora es una de las barajas que más uso. Me gusta la carta de la emperatriz alada pero otras imágenes como el animal encima de la rueda y los respaldos de los tronos de varias figuras son casi irreconocibles. Mi pareja tiene una reproducción del tarot de Marsella de Nicolas Conver publicada por Héron, la cual demuestra dibujos mucho más detallados. Otro ejemplo precioso es el Universal Tarot of Marseille (English and Spanish Edition) de Lo Scarabeo. Estos son los mazos que les recomiendo a los que deseen usar un tarot de tipo marsellés pero con un estilo más refinado y un poco más moderno.

After enjoying Fournier's Gran Tarot Esoterico, I wanted to try this bilingual Marseille-style deck with the titles in Spanish and English. However the illustrations are from an older deck than those of Conver or Burdel and perhaps therefore are more crude than those of these decks. The images of the Spanish Tarot are quite similar to those of Jean Dodal's deck, which is also quite old and very hard to find. For this reason I made an effort to accustom myself to such distinct iconography, and now the Spanish Tarot is one of the decks I use most often. I like the card of the winged Empress, but other images, such as the animal on top of the Wheel and the backs of some of the figures' thrones are almost unrecognisable. My partner has a reproduction of Nicholas Conver's Tarot of Marseille published by Heron, which possesses more detailed illustrations. Another beautiful example is the Universal Tarot of Marseille (English and Spanish Edition) from Lo Scarabeo. These are the decks I recommend for those who wish to use a Marseille-style tarot with a more refined and slightly more modern style.
