Deeply researched and richly layered, this deck connects the symbolism of early tarots with the philosophies and spirit of the Renaissance era.

The illustrations by Jake Baddeley, inspired by the techniques of Renaissance masters, weave multiple layers of meaning, creating a tarot deck that speaks to both the intellect and the spirit.

Jake Baddeley studied art in London, and then he travelled around Europe, eventually settling in Holland and taking up oil painting. The Old Masters, such as Rembrandt and Vermeer, guided him from the Rijksmuseum walls in Amsterdam, and the Mauritshuis in the Netherlands. Jake learned all he could about Dutch painting in the Golden Age and synthesised these techniques with the ideas of C. G. Jung, the role of the unconscious, and the glory of Woman.
