The Alchemical Tarot is the creation of the internationally known mystical artist, Robert M.Place. This deck began with a flash of insight, in which Place realized that the symbolic images in alchemical texts were interchangeable with the standard Tarot trumps, and that the Tarot outlined the same process of mystical transformation as alchemy. This insight led him into a process of research, writing, and drawing. After eight years the result was an uncommonly beautiful and meaningful deck.
Alchemical symbols are connected to a wisdom tradition that is derived from the Higher Self. Therefore, the alchemical images in The Alchemical Tarot magnify the symbolic purpose of the Tarot and unveil the transformative wisdom of the Higher Self.They are the perfect tool for connecting us with our inner wisdom. Each card in was carefully drawn to capture real alchemical symbols in a way that is clear and concise and in harmony with the aesthetic balance of the composition. They are the natural vehicle of the unconscious and they can be used by any Tarot reader at any level, from beginner to master, in the same way as other decks.
Inspired by the spiritual alchemy of the Rosicrucians, the Alchemical Tarot is full of alchemical symbolism and explains "the beliefs of the elixirs that make up the substance of life."
The Alchemical Tarot: Renewed is 4.75 x 2.75 and comes in a tuck box with a LWB. The artwork is has been reworked from the Art edition to fix this profile. There are 79 cards including the original lovers card.
