The Marigold Tarot Classic – Beauty in black, white and gold
About this deck
The Marigold Tarot Classic is a stylish and powerful tarot deck with 78 cards, designed by artist Amrit Brar. The second edition of this deck combines elegance with depth and is known for its striking black, white and gold design. Through the use of skeletal figures and marigolds, the deck radiates a calm, mysterious atmosphere that touches on themes of life and death.
Background and imagery
The illustrations are inspired by Punjabi culture and anatomy, with great attention to detail. Each card is rich in symbolism: bones and flowers together form a visual language that shows vulnerability and strength. Although the deck is based on the Rider Waite structure, it has its own twist, such as replacing the pentacles with rings. This makes the deck familiar and innovative.
how the deck comes to life in readings
Many experienced tarot readers call this a wonderful second deck. The cards feel sturdy and smooth when shuffling and give a feeling of luxury. The images are refined and evoke a calm, profound atmosphere during a leggings. Due to the less expressive style, the deck requires a little more experience to properly understand the meanings, but that is precisely what makes it interesting for those who have been working with tarot for some time.
Is this deck welcoming to those just starting out?For those who are just starting out, this deck can be a bit difficult, because the images are less direct. Still, many people are drawn to its beauty and symbolism, especially as a second deck. It requires a bit more interpretation, but rewards you with deep insights and rich images.
