Deck review: Visconti Tarot by A. A. Atanassov

One of the oldest Tarot decks preserved to this day, perhaps the most beautiful of all. These cards are universally recognized as one of the most extraordinary examples of the art of miniature and Renaissance symbolism.

For the first time, the Visconti Tarot has been restored and printed with gold foil impressions, to enhance their original splendor.

Happy Wednesday! Today we're working with the Visconti tarot. This is a very traditional deck, a copy of one that was made for a very rich family; all the gold parts would have been actual gold back in the day!

The Kids' Tarot: Illustrated Deck and Guidebook for Life’s Big Questions by Jason Gruhl and Kristina Kister

The Kids’ Tarot is a fun, interactive tool to help kids engage with some of life’s biggest questions—thoughtfully, creatively, and playfully.

This gorgeous deck helps kids explore and reveal who they are while helping them understand the world and those around them. By bringing attention to their thoughts (swords), emotions (cups), intentions (wands), and actions (coins), kids expand their self-awareness, confidence, and connection to others.

Written by author of the bestselling Fountain Tarot Deck and child psychologist Jason Gruhl, The Kids’ Tarot introduces kids to powerful characters like The Magician (imagination and will power), The Hermit (quiet observation and focus), and Strength (courage and determination)—giving them ways of naming the many different parts of themselves. Friends can ask each other questions by using the cards to spark rich conversations. Parents can use them for exploring new ways of thinking about something after a hard day at school. Or they are perfect for using on your own when looking for guidance.

This beautiful deck is a touchstone that begins to put kids in the driver’s seat of their own lives—uncovering hidden gifts, truths, and possibilities.
