Marseilles Cards


Marseilles Tarot decks have cards reproduced or reconstructed from the traditional eighteenth century French images of the Tarot de Marseilles.

CBD Tarot de Marseille

The CBD Tarot de Marseille is a faithful reproduction of the Conver Marseilles from 1760. Rather than create an exact replica of the original, Ben-Dov has adapted Conver's images to modern printing and artistic sensibilities, and made a crisp and high quality Marseilles deck.

The ISIS Tarot de Marseille is based on the Conver Marseille from 1760. The ISIS (Institute of Study on Initiation and Symbolism) version updates the traditional cards to include more three-dimensional imagery and Japanese aesthetics.





Jean Noblet Tarot

The Jean Noblet Tarot is a Marseilles variant from 1650, restored and with a few missing cards added by French Tarot historian and artist Jean-Claude Flornoy. The deck has 78 cards and a useful 64-page booklet in a cardboard box.

Tarot de Marseille (Camoin-Jodorowsky)

Camoin and Jodorowski, French Tarot scholars, have restored crisp detail and outlines in their variation of the Tarot of Marseilles woodcut images.





Tarot de Marseille (Dussere Dodal)

The Tarot de Marseille published by Dussere reproduces the images of the original 78-card deck by Jean Dodal, dating from 1701 in Lyon, France. Unfortunately the deck is now out of print and difficult to obtain.





Tarot de Marseille (Fournier)

The Fournier-published Tarot de Marseille sticks fairly closely to the traditional symbolism but uses much more blended, rich, flowing colour than the early woodcuts. The background colours are also a modern addition.





Tarot de Marseille (Hadar)

Le Veritable Tarot de Marseille ('The True Tarot of Marseilles') is a lovely Marseilles variation with subdued colouration, restored and reconstructed by French Tarotist, Kris Hadar. Close attention has been paid to the finer details of the cards. Published by Mortagne.

Tarot de Marsella

The Tarot de Marsella is a reconstruction by Spanish historians of the Tarot of Marseilles images. The backgrounds of the 78 cards are dark gold; the foregrounds bright primary colours.





Tarot Jacques Vieville

The Tarot Jacques Vieville is a 17th century Marseilles variation from a Parisian cardmaker around 1650. It differs from the typical Marseilles deck in that Justice, the Chariot, Strength and the Hermit are reordered, the Tower appears as a tree, and the Hanged Man appears upright.





Tarot of Marseilles (Burdel)
