AA001: Exploring the Unique Expression of Tarot de Marseille: A Comparative Analysis

Marseille Vintage Tarot

AA001

The article “The Superiority of the Tarot de Marseille” is translated and annotated based on the essay “The Excellence of the Marseilles Tarot” by Enrique Enriquez, a renowned Tarot de Marseille researcher. He is also the author of the book and documentary of the same name, “Tarologa”.

1. Distinguishing Between Tarot de Marseille and Fantasy Decks:
   • Enriquez asserts the importance of clearly distinguishing between the Tarot de Marseille (TdM) and “fantasy decks”. Fantasy decks are tarot sets that are the product of an author’s imagination. TdM is not about being “real” or “unreal”, but it is entirely different in its logic of expression compared to fantasy decks.
   • TdM uses an optical language of expression to create fresh and different implications each time one looks at the cards. This narrows the symbolic capacity of the images, reducing the Symbolic Level of the card.
2. Tirage en Croix (Cross Spread of the Tarot de Marseille):
   • Tirage en Croix is one of the popular methods of drawing cards in Tarot. It consists of 5 cards placed in the shape of an “X”:
     • Card 1: The Present: Represents the current situation of the querent and how they perceive the circumstances.
     • Card 2: The Challenge: Represents the problem or challenge the querent is facing. Even if a “positive” card is in this position, it is still a challenge.
     • Card 3: The Past: Represents events that have led to the current situation.
     • Card 4: The Future: Represents what may happen in the coming weeks or months.
     • Card 5: The Objective: Represents the goal or the best possible outcome the querent wishes to achieve.

The Game To Tom: The Card Game Legend and Cultural Heritage of Vietnam

 

THE GAME TO TOM

A004

Tổ tôm, also known as Tụ tam bài, is a traditional Vietnamese card game, typically played by men during festivals. This game originates from the Chinese game of Khanhoo and utilizes a deck of Chinese currency cards, totaling 120 cards. Each card features images and Chinese characters at the top and bottom to indicate its rank and suit.

In the past, under French colonial rule, the Tổ tôm deck was redesigned by the French company A.Camoin & Cie, inspired by traditional Japanese Edo period costumes. This redesign added a distinctive cultural element to the Tổ tôm deck, making it not just a form of entertainment but also a part of Vietnam’s cultural heritage.

The Tổ tôm deck consists of three suits: Văn (文), Sách (索), and Vạn (萬), each divided into ten ranks with the highest cards being Nửa Văn, Sợi Không, and Ông Lão respectively. Players draw and discard cards to form a hand of twenty-one cards. Combinations include sets of three or four identical cards, a sequence of three cards of the same suit, or three cards of the same rank but each from a different suit.

Tổ tôm is more than just a game; it is a part of Vietnamese tradition and culture. It reflects the sophistication of Vietnamese entertainment and preserves and promotes cultural values through generations. The game not only brings people together during festive occasions but also offers an opportunity to impart strategic thinking and skills, showcasing the creativity and finesse in Vietnamese gameplay.
