The Tarot de Marseille is a type of tarot deck that has its origins in the city of Florence, Italy. It has been made famous in the 18th and 19th century as being produced in, and coming from Marseille, France, hence the name it currently is known as. While the exact history of the Tarot de Marseille is not entirely clear, it is believed to have been developed first during the first half 17th century, although earlier versions of the tarot existed in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although we know tarot cards were made in Italy since the mid-15th century, the TDM is considered one of the foundational decks of tarot, and many modern tarot decks are based on it. The images on the cards are generally simpler and more geometric than other tarot decks, with a focus on the use of primary colors and bold lines. The Major Arcana cards, which are the 22 cards that represent major life events or archetypes, are particularly distinctive in the Tarot de Marseille, featuring unnumbered cards and unique symbolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the centuries, the TDM has been used for divination, meditation, and spiritual exploration. It has also been the subject of scholarly study, with researchers examining its origins, symbolism, and cultural significance. Today, the Tarot de Marseille remains a popular tool for those interested in tarot, and it is still used by many tarot readers and spiritual practitioners around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of the most well-known variations of the Tarot de Marseille include the Conver deck, the Dodal deck, and the Noblet deck, among others. Each of these decks has its own unique characteristics, such as differences in the style of the artwork, the colours used on the cards, and the specific symbolism that is depicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
