Romantic Tarot

Victorian and Belle Epoch style permeates this ostensibly love-themed deck -- and certainly romance is in the air here, as the title suggests. But there's more going on in Massaglia's illustrations than mere flirting and courting. Here, you'll find regional flavor as well, with each suit being represented by a great European city: Paris for Wands, Venice for Cups, Vienna for Swords, and Rome for Pentacles. Non-traditional at times, but always intriguing, this Lo Scarabeo gem is suitable for readings beyond those concerned with affairs of the heart.
