About this item
- Pack information: 78 cards with booklet
Card dimensions: 45 x 80 mm Artists: Raul
- and Gianluca Cestaro
They say: The figures of this deck were inspired by the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot,
- designed and described by renowned English occultist Arthur Edward Waite for the young painter and illustrator of
- books, Pamela Colman Smith, who created them in 1909. This tarot, without a doubt the most famous in the world, has
- been the object of many attempts at imitation and was the source of inspiration for numerous decks that are still on the
- market.
For the first time, the images created by Smith for the New Vision Tarot were designed by rotating the
- perspective 180 degrees (the figure is no longer seen from the front, but rather from the back). What the depicted
- figures have in front of them or behind them can therefore be discovered (depending on the angle). This is not simply a
- figurative peculiarity but an ulterior extension of meanings. Some symbolic elements, where possible, were also added in
- order to come closer to the traditional symbols.
One of the greatest difficulties when the new images were
- designed was the angle of the Kings and Queens seen from the back on the throne. The problem was identical for
- many Major Arcana such as the High Priestess, the Emperor, the Hierophant, the Chariot, and Justice. While realizing
- this project some of the cards required 'artistic' license for the enlargement or reduction of the size of the figures and
- objects in relation to their original position. For some cards, for example the High Priestess and Justice, the edge of a
- curtain located behind them was allowed to fall in order to make the main character more visible.
People who
- currently use the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot now have a convenient deck that represents its complement and its
- completion. Thanks to the New Vision Tarot, a new and enlarged image of each card is possible for more profound
- reflection. As if wanting to emphasize the coincidences of life, in order to illustrate this tarot two twin brothers were
- chosen thanks to their modern and effective colors with a clean line: Raul and Gianluca Cestaro. A man and his twin, a
- coin and its other side, a person and his opposite point of view, the Rider-Waite tarot and this deck: All for broadening
- knowledge... and awareness.
