  They say: The Italian master illustrator Roberto De
• Angelis was inspired by the iconography described in A. E. Waite's works while recreating the same symbolic immediacy
• of the tarots by Pamela Colman Smith in a modern style.
  
  Much of that which has been written about the Waite
• Tarots can also be applied to the Universal Tarots. There are, however, some substantial differences. The softer and
• more dynamic style of De Angelis captures some of the symbolic synthesis and sobriety of the pre-Raffaelesque
• illustrations. In exchange, the more modern and realistic aspect is more consistent with our time and more in tune with
• the thinking of contemporary man.
  
  In fact, knowing the meaning of the card is not enough for reading the
• tarots. We must attune to the image, allow it to speak to our intuition, and to suggest and guide during consultation. This
• knowledge was the basis of Waite's decision to create allegorical images for the minor arcana as well, in order to
• provide a pictorial key for the reading.
  
  We say: This is the card deck featured as illustrations in 'The
• Tarot Bible' by Sarah Bartlett also available on our site.
