Ls Crystal Tarot

As rich and complex as life itself, the Crystal Tarot blends the look of stained glass with art nouveau style to gracious effect. The use of patterns within patterns gives depth to the traditional pictures of the Tarot.

The familiar images are all there, while the details--executed in brilliant and unusual colors--invite viewers to linger, to search, to make sure they miss nothing--an effective trait in a tool of self-examination. The companion booklets for most Lo Scarabeo decks are in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.
