Arcanes d'Al Kemit
by Jen Piao, Fondation Cornelius Celsus. 1976.
The images are copied from various Egyptian papyry and temple wall paintings. Some images are in landscape format. Sold for the profit of d'Acupuncture Sans Frontieres.
A book by Jacques Pialoux 'Le 8ème Jour de Ptah - Traité des 22 arcanes de la science d'Al Kemit', Paris 1993, seems to comment on these images.
"Working for more than forty years with a view to a synthesis between the Eastern and Western cosmogonies expressed in traditional teachings, I was naturally led," says Jacques Pialoux, "towards a return to the sources, that is to say on the one hand towards the religions of ancient Egypt, the Hebrews and the Celts, and on the other hand towards that of the Taoists, Hindus and Buddhists who were born in the East. This truth finds its culmination in the Egypt of the pharaohs with the twenty-two arcana of alchemical science (of Al Kemit), these twenty two which are for the Chinese the twenty two celestial and terrestrial energies and for Kabbalah the twenty two letters of the sacred alphabet. I tried to let their teachings express themselves along with all their poetry."
Early deck from late 1970s. Rare and difficult to find. Limited edition of 500.

Tarot de Jeebee - Domination-Soumission
by Denauw Renaud, Jeebee (Joël Buchet), self-published, 2002.
The artwork was by the Belgian comic book artist Denauw Renaud, especially known for the adult comic book series 'Jessica Blandy'. Jeebee is a pseudonym of Joël Buchet. In the Fool, instead of a dog, Renaud depicts a woman biting the Fool's leg. The Devil is shown as a transexual, with phallic staff, presiding over the naked male and female figure. The imagery is subtly humorous, rather than overtly pornographic and a rather tasteful and stylish addition to the growing number of erotic tarot decks.

Tarot de Nostradamus
by Dominique Webb adapting Jean-Pierre Payen, Heron. 1986.
The cardmaker Jean Pierre Payen (1683-1757)created a Tarot de Marseilles deck in 1713. Using this as a basis, Dominique Webb in 1984-86 constructed this contrived deck with the intention of demonstrating that there was some link between the writings of the mid 16th Century Nostradamus and the 18th Century tarot cards. Thus he reworked the Payen images to suit this thesis. The deck is sometimes also called the "Tarot of the Centuries" a reference to Nostradamus' famous cycle of prophetical verses. 78 cards 120x63mm.

Tarot de Marrakech
by Jean-Baptiste Valadie, George Colleuil, Jean-Baptiste Valadie. 2007.
These designs locate the tarot imagery in North African culture. The cards are for the most part renamed, thus The Magician is Le saltimbanque (acrobat), High Priestess is Le voile de l'aube (veil of the dawn), the Wheel is Mektoub (fate) and so on. The imagery entirely reflects the tarot archetypes but filtered through North African imagery. Supplied with a substantial book in a stout box.

Chimeres - Le Jeu de l'Initie

The Majors have a central image of a line drawings of the familiar Tarot de Marseilles woodcuts. These are set in ornate borders which seem to reflect some aspect of the game.

Arcane Couleur
by Albert-Vanel, Artema. 2003.
This is an attempt to create a Tarot out of a system of four colours red - green - yellow - cyan. Each of the cards has patterns created out of mixing these colours in different permutations and saturations. These have been related to the 22 Majors and the four suits of the Minors. On the box it indicates that it is a pedagogical tool and an object of meditation. It would be of interest to those particularly engaged by colour systems. It is interesting that this is not created using Photoshop but actually painted in watercolours. It was devised in 1990 when colour graphics on computers was not well developed. The first Macintosh II colour implemented computer was issued in 1987.
80 cards 140x69mm. Extra Fool (JOK) card, plus card with explanation of the colour system.

Oracle de Giselle Flavie
by Marina Makovsky, Giselle Flavie, FGP Paris, 1997.
Giselle Flavie was one of the most famous clairvoyants in France in the late 1990s. She has written many books and taken part in radio and television programmes. In 1997 she issued her 'key of life' or the Oracle de Giselle Flavie. This is not an oracle deck but a true tarot with 22 cards. Being a clairvoyant, Giselle Flavie has of course 'channelled' the text of the little white book that goes with the cards. The art on the cards is by a Russian artist Marina Makovsky, the daughter of the famous Russian academic artist Konstantin Egorovich Makovsky (1839-1915). His daughter, who appears to have lived on into the 1950s, seems to have become one of the Russian émigrés who located to France after the Russian Revolution.
Her art is not so technically accomplished as her father's wonderfully detailed oils but is strongly Russian in tone, reflecting Russian illuminated manuscripts and Icons. I doubt whether these were originally conceived as a tarot, though they seem to have been created as round paintings and not merely cropped to that shape. 22 cards 135x70mm.

Les Dames de Coeur
by S. Himpens and H. Demaretz, Nord Solidarité.
This game of tarot, the 'Ladies of the Heart', was produced by an organisation in France called Nord Solidarité. This was set up in 1992 to help the victims of disasters, but it seems to have quickly focused on a single issue, assisting the victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. One of their activities was to give children from the Chernobyl area a summer holiday in France, to bring them out of their contaminated world and to return to them a little of the life that has been stolen from them. A similar Chernobyl Children's Project exists in the UK. The women members on the committee agreed to pose for the creation of these tarot cards in order to raise funds. The Alternative Womans' Institute Calendar of 2000 was one in which members of the rather staid UK Womans's organisation posed naked for a calendar to raise money for Leukaemia research (the well known Calendar Girls film was loosely based on this).

Tarot des Lois Contemplatives
by Joel and Danika Boyer, H.Plantin & Cie, Paris. 1966.
Very early deck. The artwork was created in 1959 but the tarot was not published till 1966. It must be one of the earliest attempt to create a tarot using an expressionistic style. It is somewhat reminiscent of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, the German expressionist painter, as it shares the bold outlines set against an abstract background.
Here Joel and Danika Boyer have first created washes of watercolour or more likely gouache on a squared paper and on top of this they have drawn a figure using black paint and a large brush.

Jean-Didier is a well known clairvoyant and astrologer in France. Many of the cards are renamed, but are still recognisable as tarot images. Abstract designs created with large flowing brushstrokes.

Tarot des Centuries
Dominique Webb adapting Jean-Pierre Payen, Heron, 1986.
The cardmaker Jean Pierre Payen (1683-1757) created a Tarot de Marseilles deck in 1713. Using this as a basis, Dominique Webb in 1984-86 reissued this deck with the intention of demonstrating that there was some link between the writings of the mid 16th Century Nostradamus and the 18th Century tarot cards. He reworked the titles of the Payen images to suit this thesis.
Le Bateleur - "Branchus", L'Empereur - "Aenobarb", Le Pape - "Grand Pastor", La Justice - "La Balance", XIII - "Lybitine", Temperance - "Le Verseau", Le Diable - "LAntechrist", La Lune - "Selyn", Le Soleil -"Aemathien"
This is a reissue by Heron of their Tarot de Nostradamus.

Jeu de Samsara
by JRP, France Cartes, 1987.
The cards have a column of six circular holes punched in a panel down the right side. This was part of a board game, and presumably these holes were used to locate the cards on the board. The backs of the cards have six keywords (usually abstract ideas) in French and English located against each hole. These are different for each of the cards. Thus the Fool has Sudden impulse - Occult knowledge - Research development - New beginning - Thoughtlessness - Intuition.

Tarot Essentiel
by Andrea Wedell, Francoise Bitton, Arcadia Editions. 2010.
The 22 cards are for the most part renamed, but reflect the established arcana. Thus the Lovers is Le Choix (Choice), The Hermit is La Sagesse (Wisdom) and so on. All is explained in the book. Wedell's artwork is abstract and in the style of Paul Klee, colourful background textures with angular and circular forms set on it. Like Paul Klee's paintings, this is not entirely abstract but still contains sufficient pointers and references to figurative forms, that one can still recognise the arcana.
Oil paintings.
