Allcento Tarot

Allcento Tarot - 100 cards between Marseille and Minchiate

Most tarot decks contain 78 cards. This one contains 100. Those extra 22 cards are not filler. They are a deliberate choice to expand the symbolism of classical tarot with astrological and hermetic archetypes.

Michael J. Auger builds on traditions like the Marseille tarot and the Italian Minchiate deck. He adds the twelve zodiac signs, a series of virtues and special Triumph cards such as the Dragon and the Grail. The result is a deck that allows for more readings than a standard set.

What you see on the cards

The style is cartoonish and playful, but the symbolism is dense. Colours dominate: primary tones alternate with bright accents. The lines are simple, but the symbols are loaded. Qabalistic letters, Masonic motifs, planetary glyphs and classical allegories come together on a single card.

The edges are painted black, which gives the deck a finished look. The cardstock is sturdy enough to withstand intensive use. The cards measure 70 × 117 mm, which is slightly larger than many pocket formats but still shufflable.

Who this works for

This is not a starter deck. The extra cards require you to be willing to look up, place and apply the symbolism. The 144-page guidebook offers explanations per card, but the text assumes you already have some understanding of hermetic systems.

Readers who work with astrology will find a direct extension of their practice in the zodiac cards. Those who work with the Tree of Life will recognise the Qabalistic references. Those who like hybrid systems will get exactly that in this deck.

Want to integrate the extra cards without getting overwhelmed? Start with the standard 78-card deck and add one group each week: first the zodiac, then the virtues, then the Triumph cards.

Questions we often get

What do the extra cards actually do in a reading?
The zodiac cards can indicate a time period, character trait or planetary influence. The virtues point to moral themes. The Triumph cards such as the Dragon and the Grail function as extra trumps with their own symbolic charge. You can use them in broader spreads or draw them separately for specific questions.

Is this deck suitable for beginners?
No. The guidebook does explain the cards, but assumes you already have basic knowledge of tarot and esoteric symbolism. If you are just starting out, a standard RWS or Marseille deck is a better first choice.
