Tarot Médiéval

A rich and historically significant deck with newly translated guidebook and commentary from Caitlín Matthews.

The history of Tarot Médiéval reads like an adventure novel. It was a French Tarot originally created by Francis Rolt-Wheeler and artist Christian Loring. Published in the fateful year of 1939, nearly every copy was destroyed the following year when France was invaded. Caitlín Matthews has translated and edited Rolt-Wheeler’s text and written new material for this beautiful Tarot, whose art has been painstakingly restored by renowned artist Wil Kinghan.

Tarot Médiéval has a luminous, dreamlike, medieval setting, with fully illustrated 22 Major Arcana, 16 Court Cards, and 40 Pip cards in the suits of Cups, Swords, Scepters (Wands), and Shekels (Coins).  Each card in rich in symbolic, initiatic, Kabbalistic, numerological, astrological, and divinatory meaning.

The historical and magical context of this extraordinary deck is rooted in the Oswald Wirth school of Tarot, and Caitlín has provided new ways of using the cards that give meditational paths to explore it in a deeper way. This is a Tarot whose time has come, and an inward adventure of a lifetime is waiting in the cards.
