Hurst’s Tarot history blog | Pre-Gebelin
Recommendation , Tarot , Tarot de Marseille , Theme: TdM / 21 September 2016

The owner of this blog, Micheal J. Hurst, unfortunately passed a few weeks ago (aug 2016), but anyone interested in the history of Tarot pre-Gebelin (traditional tarot, before the English school that brought forth the Waite-Smith, Thoth and most modern decks) will love this scholarly online approach.

UPDATE II: A review on the Twisted Tarot Tales is coming in the first week of October 2016 as part of the Winter Wonderland of Extraordinary Tarot. Felt like the TTT was *the* best deck to kick-off such a theme 😉 UPDATE APRIL 24TH 2016: Instead of Kickstarter the campaign will run on Indiegogo, starting tomorrow on April 25th.
