This deck is based on the Marseille tradition. The cards were created entirely by hand, without the use of digital graphics, so the illustrations retain the liveliness of the lines and an almost tangible texture.
There are no frames, inscriptions, or numbers in the drawings—the images themselves convey the full spectrum of meanings. They merge into an overall picture when placed together in a spread, forming visual connections. The emphasis shifts to symbols and their geometry. This approach makes working with the deck intuitive: the eye immediately catches important elements, and meanings unfold naturally—through composition, quantity, and essence of the elements.
Another feature of this deck is that it is executed in a monochrome palette: a marsh-green background, black, white, and gold colors in the drawings. The absence of bright colors eliminates visual noise, supporting a calm, meditative working process.
«Shadow of Marseille Tarot» will appeal to those who value symbolism and are looking for cards that allow for an easy, honest, and vibrant dialogue in readings.
