Legacy of Tarot – Gateway to a Sacred Heritage

A masterful tarot deck by renowned digital artist Ciro Marchetti

Legacy of Tarot – Gateway to a Sacred Heritage is an extraordinary tarot deck created by the internationally acclaimed digital artist Ciro Marchetti.
While firmly rooted in traditional tarot symbolism, this deck offers a truly unique and immersive experience unlike any other.

A True Masterpiece for Serious Tarot Readers

The authenticity of this deck is immediately evident in its extensive guidebook, which spans an impressive 288 pages (Japanese edition).
Rich in depth and insight, the guidebook is designed for long-term study and repeated use, making this deck a lasting companion rather than a decorative novelty.

Despite its scholarly depth, the Legacy of Tarot is never intimidating or overly complex.
Each card is illustrated with exquisite attention to detail, featuring delicate, meticulously crafted artwork that invites prolonged contemplation and emotional connection.

A Tarot Deck Interwoven with a Story

What truly sets this deck apart is its embedded short novel, which occupies approximately one-sixth of the guidebook.
Written in an autobiographical style, the story features Ciro Marchetti himself as the protagonist.

The narrative begins with a mysterious email that leads him to an enigmatic mansion in northern Italy.
What unfolds is a cinematic journey—beginning as a mystery, evolving into a story with science-fiction elements, and expanding into themes of Earth’s ancient history and interdimensional travel.

Key scenes from this story are directly reflected in the card illustrations.
The story and the cards are deeply interconnected:

• the narrative enhances the symbolism of the cards
• the cards, in turn, give visual depth and emotional resonance to the story

By the end of the tale, readers come to realize that the story itself reveals the origin and creation of the tarot deck.

Deeper Readings Through Story and Symbol

Reading the story before performing a tarot reading can unlock deeper layers of meaning, offering insights that may feel entirely new—even to experienced readers.

Each card interpretation includes commentary not only from the creator but also from several respected tarot experts, allowing readers to explore the cards from multiple perspectives.

The guidebook also provides:

• Clear explanations of reading techniques
• Appendices includingElement Charts, Number Tables, Planetary Correspondences, and Zodiac Tables

Altogether, it is an exceptionally comprehensive and well-balanced resource.

A Tarot Legacy for the Ages

As Ciro Marchetti himself describes it:

“This is not a tarot deck meant to be admired and set aside, but a lifelong companion—created as a true legacy for humanity.”

True to its name, Legacy of Tarot – Gateway to a Sacred Heritage is a deck of outstanding quality, combining tradition, innovation, artistry, and storytelling into one unforgettable tarot experience.
