About This Deck
The Marseille Tarot is one of the earliest recognised tarot traditions and remains highly influential today. Unlike Rider–Waite–Smith decks, many pip cards contain repeating suit imagery rather than illustrated scenes.
This changes the reading approach and often encourages readers to focus more on patterns, numerology, symbolism, and intuition.
