[edit] Description
Stylish, sardonic illustrations and clever details inform this deck. Each card is identified clearly by its astrological, mythological, religious, and Qabalistic correspondences. An Egypto-deco theme predominates and the result is bold and pleasing to the eye. While the numbered cards are essentially decorative pips, the court cards are especially memorable for their wit and personality.
This deck is especially suited for Qabalah study and magickal pathworking. The cards also incorporate colored circles which allow them to be spread out to create an enormous Tree of Life. Dan Staroff created the Tarot of the Sephiroth after eight years of meditation and study. He wanted to create a tarot deck that would help the user "gain direct access to the complex energies of the tarot and the Tree of Life" from the Qabalah.

[edit] Creator's comments
Dan Staroff says, "The Tarot of the Sephiroth began out of a desire to present a more unified & comprehensive portrayal of the Tarot. My intent was to break through the veils & shadows of traditional tarot images & to interpret them for a new era in which accessibility to the concepts & constructs of the Qabalah was key. The mysteries of the Qabalah can be accessed through the spheres & paths of the Qabalistic Tree of Life, as illustrated in the Tarot of the Sephiroth. This is your key to unlocking those mysteries. Use it wisely."
