Salvador Dalí Tarot Universal: Gold Edition – Surrealism meets tarot art
About this deck
The Salvador Dalí Tarot Universal: Gold Edition is a reissue of the original tarot deck that Salvador Dalí created in 1984. This luxurious edition contains 78 cards with a traditional, precious gold edge and an accompanying book by the well-known tarot expert Johannes Fiebig. The cards are a unique fusion of Dalí's surrealist style and classic Western art, making this deck a special collector's item.
Background and imagery
Dalí's tarot deck combines elements from Western art history with his own surrealist interpretations. The Major Arcana cards have both English and Spanish titles and contain alchemical symbolism and Hebrew letters. The Minor Arcana follows the traditional suits, but with Dalí's own creative interpretation. This deck is rich in symbolism, including planetary and astrological associations that differ from modern decks.
How the deck comes to life in readings
This deck is suitable for both novice and experienced tarot readers who are interested in an artistic approach to tarot. The cards are larger than standard decks, highlighting the rich detail of Dalí's artwork. The accompanying book provides an introduction to Dalí's life, the creation of the deck, and practical instructions for tarot readings.
Are these cards welcoming to those new to tarot or advanced readers?Given the complex symbolism and unique artistic interpretation of the cards, this deck is more suitable for advanced tarot readers or art enthusiasts familiar with Dalí's work. Beginners can use the deck, but it can be a challenge without basic knowledge of tarot and art history.
Material and design
The cards have a size of 79 x 140 mm and have a traditional gold edge, which contributes to the luxurious appearance. The deck comes in a sturdy box with an accompanying 184-page book written by Johannes Fiebig, which provides in-depth insights into the cards and their meanings.
