Gilded Tarot Royale – A modern reinterpretation of classic tarot
About this deck
The
Gilded Tarot Royale is an updated version of the original Gilded Tarot deck, designed by award-winning artist Ciro Marchetti. This deck offers a contemporary take on traditional tarot images, with rich colors and a borderless design that enhances the visual appeal.
Background and imagery
This deck follows the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) tradition, but introduces updated artwork with medieval elements such as mages, priestesses, emperors and knights. The combination of classical symbolism with modern artistic techniques creates a unique aesthetic that feels both familiar and refreshing.
How the deck comes to life in readings
The cards are designed with durability in mind and have a slight sheen that makes shuffling easier. The rich and expressive colors and detailed illustrations make the deck attractive to collectors and active readers alike.
Is this deck welcoming to those just starting out?While the Gilded Tarot Royale is visually appealing, it can be challenging for absolute beginners. Some cards lack the traditional symbols often associated with the RWS deck, which can complicate the interpretation process. Beginners are recommended to start with a more traditional deck and later switch to the Gilded Tarot Royale as they gain more experience.
Material and design
this set includes 78 cards with a borderless design, which does full justice to the illustrations. The cards have a slight sheen and are made of thicker cardboard, which contributes to their durability. The deck comes in a sturdy box with a basic booklet containing two tarot readings.
