The
Vision Tarot
By Tim Thompson
The Vision Tarot
heralds the Renaissance, yet they are actually photographs by Tim Thompson
based on the traditional images of the Marseilles Tarot. Each of the 78
cards has been reproduced as a detailed full color photograph, with people
clothed in period garb of the Renaissance along with scenery, objects and
symbols, befitting the traditional tarot representation.
Tim uses old coins
for the coins/pentacles, chalices for the cups, various "batons" and walking
canes for wands, and antique swords for the photographs, keeping the Medieval
theme throughout. Yet as you look into the card, you can feel that it is
done in a modern time with a modern expression. This makes a unique statement
about the purpose of this deck to be a deck for the 21st Century, while
preserving the spirit of the 15th Century! The original cards were done
with the French word imbedded in the photograph for each card, but there
is an english name for the card on the bottom border.
The Vision Tarot
comes complete with a 50 page instruction booklet (in English) that explains
clearly how to read the cards. It also tabulates the modern interpretation
of each card and relates this to the details of the images. The booklet
also goes into detail about the symbolism embodied in each card. If collecting
or using for reading and/or meditation, this deck will open new vistas,
possibly unseen before!
