The Mary-el Tarot is an exquisite and powerful Tarot deck, embodying what
can truly be called the “alchemical art” of the soul. It is not merely a tool
for predicting the future, but also a companion for the journey of seeking
balance, symmetry, and self-mastery.
Mary-el Tarot: Imagery and Meaning
The imagery in the Mary-el Tarot is drawn from oil paintings by artist
Marie White. These images delve into the depths of the Tarot’s symbolic system,
a style often seen in ancient decks. The accompanying book, Landscapes of
the Abyss, provides detailed insights into the meanings of each card,
guiding users to the threshold between heaven and earth, between the small and
the great, between the eternal and the infinite.
