Get a Visconti-Sforza tarot reading using one of the most historically significant decks in existence. Created in 15th-century northern Italy for the ruling Visconti and Sforza families, this deck predates all occult systems by hundreds of years. It was originally used for the game of Tarocchi, also known as Triumphs, before the tarot was adapted for spiritual purposes.
This is not a modern reimagining. The Visconti-Sforza Tarot is a window into the origins of the tarot. The surviving cards are hand-painted and gilded, designed not for fortune-telling, but as luxurious objects of nobility. Even though the deck was not created with divination in mind, its structure contains the same foundation used in nearly every tarot system that followed.
Many of the cards from the original set have been lost, so modern versions of the deck use reconstructions and artistic substitutes to fill in the gaps. These restorations remain true to the aesthetic and structure of the original, offering a rare opportunity to read tarot with a deck that is both historically accurate and spiritually powerful.
A Visconti-Sforza tarot reading strips away the added layers of Qabalah, astrology, and Golden Dawn symbolism. What remains is pure archetype. The cards speak through imagery rooted in medieval thought, myth, and power.
If you want to explore tarot as it existed before the occult revival, this is the deck to use. Readings are quiet, strange, and direct. There is only the original architecture of tarot laid bare.
