Tarot Emblemata (Black and Gold)
There are so many different kinds of tarot decks out in the world - and they all have various themes and connections to make with us.
For those of us who love history, symbology and art - decks like this are a joy! The knowledge that these renaissance emblems have been lovingly restored, re-interpreted and given new life in this deck gives this deck more weight and meaning. I love the simplicity of the deck which ensures that the emblems are given the attention they deserve and you aren’t distracted by any other elements (the black and gold colour scheme, the simple card stock etc.).
The deck contains a small keyword interpretation guide but I had to offer this deck with the full Companion Guidebook - I’ve loved learning about the emblems and mottos and enjoyed drinking in the insightful and story like interpretations.
This deck is a very welcome and special addition to my personal collection - and I’m so excited for it to be part of the MoonAmaia collection of divination decks!

TAROT EMBLEMATA is a beautiful Indie Tarot Deck printed in Metallic Gold Ink ~ 88 cards (78 Major and Minor Arcana cards with 10 additional Oracle cards) featuring Renaissance Emblems from 16th century France curated woodcut illustrations and their inspiring Latin and English mottos aligned with traditional Tarot archetypes. The deck represents the evolution of Emblem designs through history and their enchanting, transcendent, and universal power taking new form. Inviting a playful exploration, the Tarot format is an excellent way to access the wisdom and revelations of Emblemata through the process of divination: their visual language is a fusion of the arts of illustration and writing in a dynamic interplay between ancient and iconic images alongside their allegorical and oracular meanings. This deck is accessible for Tarot beginners, and those familiar with the Rider-Waite-Smith system, while at the same time refreshing for more experienced readers who are looking for a new and alternative take on the cards.
TAROT EMBLEMATA has been curated, designed, digitally enhanced, and interpreted by artist and writer Nitasia Roland. The charm of these Emblems is that they become “activated” by the user’s intention. They can be decoded of clues and secrets to reveal their meaning and magic. They are intended to coax the reader into a contemplative state of associations, acting as prompts & catalysts. Drawing a card or interpreting a spread encourages personal transformation allowing the reader to tap into the magical archetypes and the universal mysteries that Renaissance iconography and symbolism inspire, connecting you to the guidance of spirit via the wisdom of the ancients. Reassembling Emblems adds layer upon layer, creating new meanings through myriad possibilities. By tapping into the field of subtle energies surrounding these mystical, metaphysical illustrations, relevant divinatory results and inspiring new perspectives follow, catalyzing self-knowledge and helping you expand on your path of embodiment and inspired destiny.
The French historian, genealogist, and writer Claude Paradin was a collector of “Emblems.” The stunning illustrations you see on the 88 cards of TAROT EMBLEMATA were curated from Paradin’s Emblem Book called “Devises Heroïques” first published in 1551 in Lyons, France, printed by Jean de Tournes, with woodcut illustrations attributed to Bernard Salomon.
