Tarot - Papus for Beginners

Today, when the diversity of Tarot decks has reached its peak and continues to grow, classic systems stand somewhat apart. The Papus Tarot system, proposed in the late 19th century, is based on Egyptian mythology and Kabbalah. Its popularity is not as great now as, say, the Waite Tarot, but it does have its admirers. We present to your attention the most authentic deck of Papus Tarot with illustrations that are as close as possible to the original by Gabriel Goulinat from the 1909 book "Predictive Tarot". The illustrations are uncolored, shimmering in a pleasing bronze color for the best perception of the deck. As a guidebook, we have included in our set "Papus Tarot for Beginners" a modern Russian adaptation of the very manuscript from 1909, "Key to All Kinds of Card Predictions," translated in 1912 by A. V. Troyanovsky. Thus, we have tried to create for you a fully-fledged and convenient set for studying one of the classic Tarot systems. You will learn about the methods of reading Papus Tarot, some spreads, and the numerological aspects related to this deck. Features of Papus Tarot:
