Description

Origin & Traditional Use

The Gilded Tarot Royale is a richly illustrated 78-card deck by Ciro Marchetti, built on the Rider-Waite structure, sold with a guidebook. Its dramatic, jewel-toned art makes it a favourite for readers who work visually.

Uses in the Work

Its clear structure and vivid images make it easy to read intuitively and to use cards as visual anchors in ritual. Use the deck to ask a demon questions after evocation, drawing a card for each answer, and to confirm whether a spirit is willing to work with you before you begin. Draw a card each morning to record the influence of a patron spirit, and lay a spread before any major working to see what stands in the way. Individual cards make powerful focal images in spellwork: set The Devil, The Tower or Death on the altar as the symbol of the change you are calling in.
