About this deck
The
Golden Tarot of the Tsar is a majestic tarot deck that weaves together the wealth of Russian icon art and the symbolism of the tarot in one enchanting whole.

The result is a sacred-looking deck full of deep symbolism and visual richness.
Background and imagery

The style is reminiscent of religious icons from Byzantine and Russian traditions, complete with stately postures, sacred halos and symbolic colors. The gold accents give the cards a lofty appearance, as if you were holding a piece of an old church work of art.
