The past is a thief of the present and holds hostage the future. Sounds too pithy? Then why do you keep ignoring what really happened and wishing that everyone would stop bringing up difficult subjects? That tall glass of iced nostalgia has been artificially sweetened and no one else wants to drink from that. If you are going to prepare yourself for what’s to come, you have to bring yourself back to the present and be honest about where you are and how you got here.


The Universal Tarot of Marseille is primarily based on a Swiss deck created in 1751 by by Claude Burdel. The pips have color backgrounds to assist readers with distinguishing suite and the majors have had the lines refined and color backgrounds added to soften the overall look. The Universal Tarot of Marseille is ©Lo Scarabeo.
