Let the Museum introduce itself


About Museum of Tarot

Museum of Tarot (or Bảo Tàng Tarot in Vietnamese), founded in 2016 (will officially open in 2017), is located in Can Tho City, in the south of Vietnam. The museum has three themes: Lithotherapy, Cartomancy and Demonology.

It is combined from six main collections related to Tarology:

Fortune Telling Cards (Tarot and Oracles decks), Historical Books and Documents on Cartomancy, Art of Cardmaking and Decoration of Fortune Telling Cards; Amulets and Talismans and Magical Tools; Lithotherapy Crystals and Charmestones; Demonological and Sacred Books and Haunted Objects.

The museum is established in an ancient noble hotel, called “the citron house”, under the Vietnamese renaissance style. This house is sacrificed for the museum by an old couple of lawyer, Anh Ngo and Duong Ho in 2015.

 The Pyramid Spread



AA010

Exploring the Depths of Tarot: The Pyramid Spread

In the mystical world of tarot, the cards serve as a mirror to the soul, reflecting the multifaceted aspects of our lives. Among the myriad of spreads used by tarot enthusiasts, the Pyramid Spread stands out for its unique ability to delve deep into the querent’s situation, offering a structured path to understanding.

The Foundation of Insight At the base of the Pyramid Spread lies the trio of cards that form the foundation of the reading. These cards are pivotal, as they encapsulate the present circumstances, the bedrock on which the querent’s current state rests. It’s here that the journey begins, with the cards whispering tales of the now, urging the querent to acknowledge their reality.

Ascending the Pyramid As we ascend the pyramid, the middle layer, composed of two cards, reveals the dynamics at play. These cards are the harbingers of change, indicating the forces that will shape the querent’s path forward. They are the winds of transformation, sometimes gentle and guiding, other times tumultuous and challenging.

The Apex of Resolution At the pinnacle of the spread, the final card crowns the pyramid. This card is the key to resolution, the beacon of hope or the harbinger of caution. It encapsulates the outcome, the potential end-point of the querent’s journey, influenced by the interplay of the foundational and evolutionary cards below.

A Tapestry of Interpretations The beauty of the Pyramid Spread lies in its versatility. Each card is a thread in the tapestry of the querent’s narrative, with active and passive energies interwoven to create a complete picture. The spread avoids the dichotomy of positive and negative, instead embracing the more nuanced concepts of action and receptivity.

A Comparative Perspective While similar in card count to the traditional French Cross, the Pyramid Spread offers a richer tableau of insights. It’s a more intricate dance of interpretations, where each position and each layer adds depth and dimension to the reading.

In the hands of a skilled reader, the Pyramid Spread is not just a method of divination but a tool for personal growth. It invites introspection and provides a roadmap for the querent’s inner journey, encouraging them to explore the labyrinth of their psyche and emerge with newfound understanding.

BB017: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Cosmos: Zolar’s Astrological Tarot Guide

 Zolar’s Astrological Tarot


BB017

Exploring the Cosmos Through Cards: The Unique Fusion of Tarot and Astrology in Zolar’s Deck

In the mystical world of tarot, the Zolar’s Astrological Tarot deck emerges as a unique amalgamation of traditional tarot symbolism and astrological elements. This 56-card deck, created by the enigmatic Zolar, is not just a tool for divination but a gateway to understanding the deeper connections between our daily lives and the celestial forces.

A Deck Like No Other

Zolar’s Astrological Tarot stands out with its double-sided cards, each bearing a dual purpose. On one side, the Minor Arcana and regular playing card symbols offer insights into the more practical aspects of life. Flip the card, and you’re greeted with the Major Arcana and astrological symbols, guiding you through the spiritual and karmic paths.

Four Decks in One

The deck’s design is touted as ‘four decks in one,’ a testament to its versatility and depth. The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits—Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles—each corresponding to different facets of human experience, from enterprise and love to misfortune and material concerns.

Astrological Insights

The inclusion of astrological symbols adds a layer of complexity and enrichment to readings. Each card in the Minor Arcana is paired with an astrological counterpart, offering a more nuanced interpretation that considers the cosmic influences at play.

Navigating Life’s Journey

The deck’s structure reflects the journey of life, with the Major Arcana depicting key archetypes and life lessons. The first seven cards focus on intellect, the next seven on morality and relationships, and the final seven on material and worldly concerns.

A Guide for Seekers

For those seeking guidance, Zolar’s Astrological Tarot provides several spread options, from a 30-day Minor Arcana spread to a seven-day Major Arcana spread. The deck also includes a traditional Celtic Cross spread and an astrological card spread, catering to various needs and questions.

Conclusion

Zolar’s Astrological Tarot is more than a fortune-telling deck; it’s a comprehensive tool for self-reflection and understanding the interplay between the terrestrial and the celestial. Whether you’re a seasoned tarot reader or a curious newcomer, this deck promises a journey filled with discovery and cosmic wisdom.

AA009:Unveiling the Mystique: A Comprehensive Review of the Tarot de Marseille by Paul Marteau

Tarot de Marseille: Review by Paul Marteau

When I read tarot for my clients, I don’t arrange the cards in a specific way within a certain timeframe. Instead, I let the cards indicate the specific timing. From the beginning of October, the Christmas season starts to emerge, it’s within our reach. There are only 76 days left until Christmas! Yesterday, I saw two very different examples of the arrival of Christmas.

About the Tarot de Marseille deck by Paul Marteau

  • The deck consists of 78 cards and a small guidebook placed in a soft paper box. Practitioners of the RWS (Rider-Waite-Smith) tarot are usually accustomed to large, sturdy boxes and may be surprised to receive a tarot deck in such a thin cardboard package, considering it a low-end product. However, the Tarot de Marseille decks are typically accompanied by small sheets summarizing the use of tarot very briefly. The tarot community considers learning tarot through reading books, attending courses, or training. Additionally, the Tarot de Marseille has been standardized, so all versions are nearly identical, except for a few minor details, hence publishers do not need to provide additional information through a guide. Of course, the original and unique RWS tarot deck comes with a guide explaining the deck’s unique features. The cards in this set are standard size, about 12x6 cm, easy to handle for those with smaller hands. The printing material is a sufficiently thick type of plastic-coated card, and the print quality is normal and standard.
