Read Tarot with These Historic Powerhouses
Marseille Tarot
The Marseille deck comes from 17th-century France and remains one of the most widely used in history. Its sharp, minimal artwork invites raw, unfiltered interpretation. No fluff, no distractions, just the oldest surviving tradition in modern tarot.
Visconti-Sforza Tarot
This is where it all started. The Visconti-Sforza deck was created in 15th-century Italy for ruling families. It’s incomplete in its original form, but the restored versions are used today for divination with a clear link to tarot’s origin. Reading with this deck is like holding a piece of lost European magic.
Oswald Wirth Tarot
Designed in 1889 by occultist Oswald Wirth, this deck focuses only on the Major Arcana. The symbols draw heavily from Hermetic thought and Western mystery traditions. Clean lines. Heavy meaning. Great for serious introspection without clutter.
Rider-Waite Tarot
If you’ve seen tarot online, it was probably Rider-Waite. Illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith and directed by Arthur Edward Waite, this 20th-century classic introduced full imagery for all 78 cards. It’s simple to learn, deep enough to master, and the most used deck for good reason.
Thoth Tarot
Designed by Aleister Crowley and painted by Lady Frieda Harris, this deck is brutal in both design and content. Every card contains layered symbols from qabalah, astrology, numerology, and alchemy. Crowley wasn’t playing, and neither is this deck. Not for beginners, but unmatched in depth.
Why These Tarot Decks?
Because they work. These are the systems that shaped everything after them. Each one comes from a time when tarot meant something real, not something branded. When you do a free online tarot card reading with these decks, you’re not pulling trendy prompts. You’re digging into a tradition older than most religions.
