Universal Tarot of Marseille is a refined and faithful interpretation of the classic Tarot de Marseille tradition, designed to preserve its historical symbolism while making it accessible to modern readers. This deck offers clarity, balance, and depth, making it an essential tool for both study and intuitive tarot practice.
Rooted in centuries-old European tarot heritage, the Universal Tarot of Marseille strips tarot back to its symbolic essence—form, colour, number, and archetype—allowing the reader to engage directly with the language of the cards.
The Tarot de Marseille is one of the oldest and most influential tarot systems in the world. Rather than detailed narrative scenes, the imagery relies on symbolic composition, encouraging intuition, pattern recognition, and personal interpretation.
This universal edition honours the traditional line work and colour palette while offering a slightly softened, harmonised aesthetic that supports clearer visual reading and meditation.
The artwork is inspired by historic Marseille decks and rendered by Claude Burdel, whose work respects the original symbolism while refining proportions, colours, and visual balance for contemporary use.
Published by Lo Scarabeo, this deck reflects a deep respect for tarot lineage combined with modern production quality.
The 22 Major Arcana represent universal life stages, spiritual laws, and archetypal forces that guide transformation, awareness, and destiny.
The 56 Minor Arcana express everyday life through symbolic number and suit rather than illustrated scenes, making this deck ideal for intuitive, numerological, and traditional Marseille-style readings:
This structure supports deeper tarot study, symbolic fluency, and intuitive development.
The Universal Tarot of Marseille is perfectly suited to readers seeking authenticity, symbolic depth, and a strong connection to tarot’s historical roots. A timeless addition to any tarot collection.
