[edit] Description
The Lasenic Tarot - Lasenikuv Tarot.
This is notable for seemingly being the only early/mid 20th century esoteric deck designed by a Czech and associated with the pre-WWII Universalia Czech esoteric group. Lasenic studied with Wirth and the deck is obviously very much influenced by the Wirth deck (add link to Wirth deck here) . However, it has a number of "revisions" that Lasenic felt were necessary.
More on Lasenic to follow.
The companion book to the deck has been recently (2006) published by Trigon. It is only available in Czech. The book outlines the complex system that Lasenic developed for using the deck. This includes a consideration of astrological and Kabbalist correspondences.
