About this deck
Edmund Dulac Tarot is an enchanting tarot deck that combines classic tarot structure with the iconic illustrations of Edmund Dulac, master illustrator of the early 20th century. Curated by Giacomo Gailli, this deck brings to life Dulac's work as a spiritual guide through a world of magic, fairytales and deep symbolic insight.
Background and imagery
The cards are rich with dreamy, watercolor-like colors and images that seem straight out of classic stories. Dulac's style – poetic, detailed and infused with mythology and cultural influences (including Indian and Middle Eastern motifs) – gives the deck a gentle, introspective energy. Each card feels like an illustration from a timeless storybook and invites reading with feeling and emotional contact with the symbolism.

Is this deck welcoming to those just starting out?Yes, especially for those who work intuitively or feel an artistic connection with fairy tales and archetypes.
