The Marseille tarot

It is  generally known that the denomination "Marseille tarot" became mainstream in the 1930’s when Paul Marteau, in response to the increasingly popularity of Golden Dawn-based decks, decided to re-launch the French tarot by reprinting an old version of the Nicolas Conver deck, calling it the 'Veritable tarot de Marseille'. Marteau may have gotten the idea from the fact that three hundred years before, the city of Marseilles was the main port through which French tarot decks were exported to the rest of the world. It seemed appropriate, then, to baptize the French tradition as being 'from 'Marseille'. Or perhaps Marteau borrowed the term from Papus, who wrote in his book, 'le Tarot des bohémiens': "We hope that for this purpose you have procured the Tarot of Marseilles, the most correct in its symbolism". This was, indeed, the earliest known use of the term. That is how several decks sharing similar distinctive features but produced in various localities (the Jean Noblet tarot, for example, was printed in Paris in 1650, while the Jean Dodal was printed in Lyon in 1701) ended up consigned to the same label.

Think of the Marseille tradition as the champagne of tarots: a denomination that transcends its geographical origin to define a very unique kind of experience.

The Marseille is the most poetic of all tarots. Each card contains a hint from another card, in an endless game of visual resonances. Linked to la langue des oiseaux (the Language of The Birds), French folklore suggests that the Marseille tarot speaks directly to the eye in the subtle voice of its characters' gestures. The Marseille tarot borrows its language from the Romanesque cathedrals of France, from the chanting arms of medieval heraldry, and from the French people's love of puns and wordplay. The Marseille tarot hides its secrets in the obvious.

Tarotbot gives you the opportunity to experience the Marseille tarot, either through Jean Noblet's elegant design or through the rough shapes of Jean Dodal. Both have been restored, from the only original surviving decks kept in the British Museum and the Biblioteque Nationale of France, by master card-maker Jean-Claude Flornoy.

includes the full text of Pictorial Key to the Steampunk Tarot by Charissa Drengsen

“Steampunk” (term coined by K. W. Jeter in a letter to Locus Magazine, in April 1987) is now a full-blown 21st Century subculture that embraces a vision of a futuristic, alternate-universe (perhaps post-apocalyptic) Victorian/Edwardian age featuring brass and copper steam-powered inventions that go far beyond 1800's technology.  This world includes mechanical wonders such as gear-driven computers, modern dirigibles, modded clockwork, time machines and flying contraptions. Influenced by a range of literature from Jules Verne and H. G. Wells to Lemony Snicket and Alan Moore, steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk but tends to be less dystopian.

I do not pretend to be an authority on what is and what is not steampunk.  Personally, I think anyone who pretends expertise is treading on dangerous ground.  The steampunk subculture is an evolving entity, as open to definition and reinterpretation as slang, fashion and genre usually are.  The images I created for this deck of tarot cards are merely my own personal vision, how steampunk speaks to me as an artist, where it intersects with myth and archetype.  My wish and desire is that they will speak to you as well, opening a window onto another vista you may not have gazed upon before.




From where I stand, one of the important aspects of steampunk is the way it brings together the masculine and the feminine, the hard and the soft, yin and yang, east and west.  As Jake von Slatt said, “the intersection of technology and romance.”  It seems to lend itself quite well to the archetypes of the tarot, which seek to find that path at the balancing point of extremes.  That place we find ourselves as a people, moving fast on a speeding locomotive toward an uncertain future.

Artist Charissa Drengsen of curly-cue design has been working as a freelance artist, designer and writer since 1989. She graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco in 1999 with a BA in Integral Studies, after which she pursued an MFA in Transformative Arts at John F Kennedy University in Berkeley.  Her work is influenced by post-modernism, theoretical quantum physics, vintage sensibilities, 21st Century sub-cultures, and a fascination with dystopia and decline of civilization.  

Charissa has had her hands in many pies over the past several years, including: pin up photography, upcycled fashion, scenic painting for theatre, murals, mixed media fine art & assemblage, jewelry making, pop art, documenting decay, teaching, vintage photo restoration, soft sculpture, and playing with paper dolls.  She makes her home in that hobo town Petaluma, California with her fiesty teenage daughter and a passle of quirky cats.  The walls of her room are painted burnt orange.

TarotBot Android Tarot Reader

TarotBot is an open source framework for tarot readings on Android devices with switchable card decks and interpretations.

The interface, which re-presents tarot, was designed with the primary goal to only draw from the physical artifacts (the deck of cards) those attributes which are meaningful to the reading: imagery, interpretations, and context. The traditional shuffling, dealing, and arranging of the cards is removed from the process allowing a much more streamlined reading experience to emerge. The experience may lack some traditional elements but conducting readings for one’s self, especially on the go, is far from traditional.

While other tarot apps seek to replicate the experience of tarot cards TarotBot aims to evolve tarot into a new medium.
When tarot is most effective is when one uses intuition to interpret the cards, however interpretations are provided to help anyone unfamiliar with tarot.  These are a synthesis of experience and research conducted during development.

Optimized for Honeycomb tablets and small screen devices

The theme of this deck series is great classics of literature, either contemporary or of the past. The goal of this project is to merge a recognizable element of literature to the traditional and symbolic meaning of a specific Tarot card image. This fusion comes from the esoteric value that in the distant past was connected to heraldry, whereas the image (called “the body”) was joined to a maxim or ‘motto’ (referred to as “the soul”), forming a commemorative “coat of arms”.
The project includes 5 decks, one for each continent. This collaborative deck by 22 artists from Oceania was hosted by Fern Mercier & Lyn Olds.

Based on The Gothic Tarot created and illustrated by Joseph Vargo, which features all 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana represented by original depictions of gargoyles, vampires, ghosts, and dark angels. This app includes gothic symbolism, card meanings and reversals, and offers five unique gothic spreads, plus browse, save and share features.

Since the early 1990s, the name Joseph Vargo has become synonymous with gothic fantasy. His darkly hypnotic images have graced the covers of magazines, books, and music cds, as well as calendars, posters, t-shirts and tarot cards. He is a noted composer and musician, earning worldwide acclaim with his band Nox Arcana and the various other musical projects that he has produced. In addition to his art and music, Joseph is also an accomplished author and has written numerous articles, short stories and books. Vargo's chilling, mist-shrouded world of forlorn ghosts, brooding vampires, living gargoyles and other creatures of the night have earned him an immense and loyal following.

Enter a world of forbidden crypts, restless spirits, seductive vampires and haunted towers full of mystery and terror. Enter the unforgettable world of Joseph Vargo, modern master of gothic fantasy: www.MonolithGraphics.com

This Tarot trumps project was originally published with Museo dei Tarocchi (Italian museum and tarot publisher) in a limited edition 500 copies.

"Tarocchi di connessione" means "connection tarot" and enphasize the idea of "connecting" figures, symbols, meanings, events, thoughts, memories...that is inside TAROT, and also a peculiarity of visual language through images/pictures: putting together images and figures forming properly created to form a system of interactive meanings.

This is a personal interpretation of the 22 Major Arcana, with dreamy, symbolic, surreal, pagan, magical, mythical influences.
