Design and Artwork

The Tarot of the Alchemical Magnum Opus by Robert M. Place is a 78-card tarot deck that reimagines the Alchemical Tarot in a simplified, iconic form reminiscent of traditional oracle decks like the Lenormand. Place has employed a unique color palette of black, white, blue, red, and occasional yellow, representing different wood blocks used in Renaissance card printing. The deck's design, with its hard-edged colors and parchment background, reflects an artistic process akin to alchemy itself, distilling symbols to their essence.

Symbolism and Themes

This deck captures the essence of alchemy, featuring imagery strongly based on 17th century alchemical engravings but expressed in Place's unique style. The cards embody the transformative journey of alchemy, with symbols and processes depicted in a minimalist yet profound manner. This deck offers a deep exploration of Western artistic tradition and alchemical symbolism, appealing to both tarot enthusiasts and admirers of Renaissance art.

User Experience

Each card measures three by four inches, edged in gold, and comes in a cloth-covered two-part box, adding a touch of elegance and luxury. The deck includes a small book, providing insights into the alchemical symbolism and interpretations of the cards. The deck's unique approach to tarot imagery and its minimalist aesthetic make it a distinctive tool for divination and self-reflection.
