[edit] Description
The Alchemical Tarot is a 78 card deck characterized by Robert Place's clean lines and rigorous occult study. Place traces the stages of the Alchemical Great Work in the Trumps. For the most part, the illustrated Minors follow the Golden Dawn meanings. The boxed set published in 1995 included a companion book by Guiley and Place packed with detailed information about the history and practice of Alchemy. The images have the delicacy of etchings and the brilliant, subtle coloring of tinted engravings. A magnificent deck. The deck went out of print.
In 2007, Place released "The Alchemical Tarot Art Edition", described as follows: an "Archival edition in a wooden box, each deck is signed and numbered, does not include a book". [1] The cards in this edition are borderless.
A new mass-market edition, "Alchemical Tarot: Renewed", is slated for release in February 2008 (published by Hermes Publication). The cards in this deck are a reworking of the art edition. They are borderless. There are two different versions of the Lovers card included with the deck. ISBN-10: 9780977643 and ISBN-13: 978-9780977641
