Le Grand Etteilla
Jean-Baptiste Alliette created these Tarot cards, which were first issued around 1788. This deck holds historical significance as it represents the earliest set of Tarot cards designed under the supervision of a single visionary, specifically for magical purposes. Alliette’s name was reversed to form the title ‘Etteilla’ for these cards. Whether you appreciate these designs or find faults within them, they serve as the foundation for much of modern Tarot practice. The older, traditional cards provide a glimpse into the origins of Tarot, illuminating the dawn of magical interpretations that continue to guide us in contemporary usage. From their point of creation, these cards cast a bright light into the future for viewers.
