"This deck teaches us to look beyond the surface, to engage with a gaze of awe, admiration, and reverence."
— Laetitia Barbier, author of Tarot and Divination Cards: A Visual Archive
In 1551, French Renaissance scholar Claude Paradin published his Devises Héroïques — a landmark book of emblems combining symbolic imagery with philosophical mottos to capture the full spectrum of human experience. Nearly 500 years later, Tarot Emblemata reveals what was hiding in plain sight: these Renaissance emblems and the 78 cards of the tarot are speaking the same language.
Creator and researcher Nitasia Roland spent years uncovering the profound alignment between Paradin's 16th-century emblematic art and the Major and Minor Arcana — from the evolution of tarot's wands, swords, cups, and coins to unmistakable echoes of the Major Arcana archetypes. The result is a deck that is simultaneously ancient and alive.
- 83 gilded, full-color tarot cards with ribbon lift box
- 192-page guidebook with tarot interpretations and emblem symbolism
- Rooted in Claude Paradin's 1551 Devises Héroïques — a foundational text of Renaissance emblem literature
- Imagery spanning ethics, natural philosophy, love, war, religion, and everyday Renaissance life
- Accessible for Rider-Waite-Smith readers; a fresh perspective for experienced practitioners
- Created by Nitasia Roland — interdisciplinary scholar, poet, and esoteric researcher
Renaissance emblems were the visual language of early modern Europe — a didactic art form designed to crystallize virtue, vice, and the full complexity of human nature. In Tarot Emblemata, that 500-year-old wisdom becomes a living tool for spiritual gnosis, inspired destiny, and daily divination.
A collector's piece. A scholar's deck. A reader's companion.
