The Tarot Decoratif Deck and Book Set is a 78-card deck, each card measuring approximately 3 x 4.875 inches, in a 5 x 6.125-inch box, created by artist Ciro Marchetti, fusing two distinct tarot systems.
Tarot reading is a long-practiced personal and interpretive divination technique in which drawn cards are read by the person doing the reading; its outcomes are a matter of personal belief and interpretation rather than a scientifically proven predictive method, and we're describing it in those terms rather than presenting it as a verified effect. Many people find value in the practice as a structured way to reflect on a question and access their own intuition, whether or not a card draw reflects anything beyond chance, symbolism, and interpretation. A quiet moment to center yourself before shuffling is generally recommended, since a calmer, more focused mindset tends to produce a more thoughtful reading. Some readers also keep a dedicated journal alongside their deck, since comparing notes across multiple readings over time often reveals more useful patterns than any single draw on its own.
This deck fuses two genuine, separately documented tarot lineages - the Smith-Waite Tarot and the Tarot de Marseille - and we're naming both as real, distinct historical systems rather than treating either as the sole authentic source; the fusion itself, along with the numerology-based approach to the Minor Arcana, is this deck's own design.
The included 168-page guidebook explores the 22 Major Arcana (called the Triumphs here) through history, mythology, and religion, and teaches a numerology-based method for interpreting the Minor Arcana.

Start with daily one-card draws to learn the numerological cues, meditate on a Major Arcana card weekly using the guidebook's historical notes, and keep the guidebook open during readings.
