Medieval Scapini Tarot by Scapini, Luigi by Luigi Scapini (1991-05-03)

This is my favorite tarot deck ever! Beautiful designs, understandable imagery, and a golden shine. Highly, highly recommended.

can't say enough about these lovely cards

Beautiful. My favorite deck. Love it. All was just right.

The quality of the paper is high but the colors of picture could be better.

Before I bought this deck, I've read many comments about it. A lot of them prefered a Major Arcana as a beautiful art on the golden colour. It surely is a great piece of art. But I'd like to say something also about a Minor Arcana, especially Pips: This tarot is my fifth after Crowley, Fey, Druid-Craft and Shadowscapes, and it is the first one which is able to provide me with an intuitive understanding of Pips. I have to thank it for that! I can recommend it to all who like decks in the style of Golden Dawn (VIII is Justice, XI is Force there) and prefere symbolic representations but not too geometric art as is on Crowley Thoth tarot.

Really good quality

I am just starting out in tarot and I have been searching for a deck that 'spoke' to me. This was definitely the right one!I've searched high and low through all the occult stores in my local area and have been disappointed.After searching through several pages on Amazon this deck just popped out and drew me in. It was the exact art I was looking for.Once it arrived I knew this was the right deck, it looked even better in my hands.Would highly recommend this deck if it speaks to you too.

The best in existence! I have tried and reviewed so many decks but the artworkand symbolism contained in this deck is extraordinary.

These are beatiful cards to hold and read, liked the fact that they are big cards made them feel that bit more special. Beautifully illistrated. The book a bit deep but having read other Tarot books i was able to adapt. The small booklet that came was good. i would buy again if had to.

I love this deck. Artwork is beautiful and somewhat comical. Cardstock is great. I bonded with this deck right away and got amazingly accurate readings.Comes with a nice sized book which explains the cards very thoroughly.

I had been looking everywhere for a deck that felt right to me, and I finally found it!The Luigi Scapini deck is absolutely beautiful. At first, it reminded me of the Visconti-Sforza Deck, which is why I didn't give it a second glance until recently. The Visconti-Sforza and Marseilles decks are beautiful, but difficult for some semi-beginners, like myself, to use because they are somewhat minimalistic in terms of symbolism.So, I was looking for something that was Rider-Waite inspired. Something rich with images I could draw from, and use to help me remember what the cards represent, with illustrated pips too.The Medieval Scapini Tarot Deck is everything I was looking for!It is a modern deck, made to look old. So you get the feeling of working with something very old and mysterious, that also happens to embrace most Rider-Waite traditions. It is absolutely filled with imagery and details – so much so that some readers have called the cards "distracting". I personally like this about the cards. I have ADD, and they actually help grab my attention. I've also found that different parts of each card will stand out depending on when I look at them. This has given me a more three-dimensional sense of what the cards represent.Scapini has also worked hard to represent most of the "ideas" that have been connected with Tarot over its history (Kabbalah, Astrology, etc). His references are mostly subtle, but present for anyone who finds those connections useful or important.The pips are fully illustrated, in a way that is unique to Luigi Scapini. You can see how they line up with the Rider-Waite interpretations in most cases. I love this, because it develops a better understanding of the pips, by comparing these illustrations/interpretations with the Rider-Waite.But what I love most about this deck: its sense of humor!Luigi Scapini's sense of humor is everywhere in these cards! It's exactly the tone I've been looking for! I've never been big on rituals, or taking things too seriously. I like Carl Jungs theories on synchronicity, symbolism and archetypes – so I try to stay grounded, and focus on that when I study the cards. Scapini's sense of humor helps lighten the mood. Some people can be intimidated by the images on tarot cards. But Scapini's Death card, for example, is actually pretty funny-looking (the Death card is my favourite in this deck... he has quite a bum).On the product itself: It comes with a companion book that explains Scapini's cards and the history of tarot cards in general (this book is alright, it's written/structured weird, but it's still interesting) and a small booklet of "divinatory meanings" that comes with the cards themselves (a great little booklet).So, I would recommend this deck to anyone who has an interest in tarot. You might not feel drawn to use it, as I am, but at the very least it is great to just look at; a great work of art.
