Egipcio Taro Egyptian Holographic by Auri Campolonghi Gonella,Brazil. 22 cards 115x72mm. Apparently the artwork is based on an interpretation by Marco Daffi of the Bembine or Isaic tablet in the Museum of Antiquities in Turin. The Bembine Tablet, the Bembine Table of Isis or the Mensa Isiaca (Isiac Tablet) is an elaborate tablet of bronze with enamel and silver inlay of probable Roman origin and mimicking Egyptian style. Daffi wrote some books on alchemical themes and seems to have been influenced by Giuliano Kremmerz. The source for the deck is probably Daffi's article 'Disposizione dei Trionfi in rapporto alla Tavola Bembina' Kemi-Hathor, Volume 14, N. 79, January 1996. The cards have holographic backs. The deck does not have a tarot structure. The 22 cards are not numbered and do not bear the traditional arcana names, but instead are labelled "Renovacao-Neutralidade" and so on. Some are immediately recognisable as tarot arcana but others are a little more obscure.

Blanca Curi Cartas de Tarot by M.E.L., Argentina, Self-Published, 2007. 78 cards 110x70mm. There is no documentation supplied with the deck but 'Blanca Curi' is Spanish for 'of the white witch'. Apparently these cards were issued by a well known astrologer in Argentina. The artwork is signed M.E.L. and in an Alphonse Mucha style. The facial expressions are not very well achieved and the modelling of the forms is not of the best, but it has some nice touches and is a fine clean design of pen line with watercolour (perhaps augmented with some graphics colour, added later once the artwork had been scanned in). Cards have main titles in Spanish, but additional titles in English and French. Minors are in playing card style.

Andino Tarot by Ernesto Montes Aliaga, Editorial Inti Yalamuy, Lima, Peru, 2000. 78 cards 94x67mm. Subtitled 'Le Kabbala Andino Revelada' (the Kaballah of the Andes revealed). It is obviously structured around kabbalistic ideas and an esoteric view of Peruvian mythology. The pips show parts of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The creator of the deck, Ernesto Montes Aliaga, appears to have been living at the time in Germany and indeed, uses German, Spanish and English for the card titles. Very rare.

Pactum Infernal Tarot de los Hechizeros By Jose Luis Lazo, Peru, 2004. 28 cards 130x80mm. There is no date or publisher shown on the packaging. The imagery would appear to be taken from various pieces of fantasy art, but the backs have been taken from Ciro Marchetti's 'Gilded Tarot' and as this was published in 2004 we have to assume the Tarot Pactum Infernal was created some time after that. It has 23 numbered cards plus 5 others, and though it does not have an obvious tarot structure, its imagery its redolent of the arcana. Very rare.

This tarot with Our Lady of the Most Holy Death celebrates Santisima Muerte a folk saint not usually sanctioned by the Catholic Church. She is usually depicted as a skeleton form. The 'Muerte' aspect does not really enter into the designs themselves but a small roundal with a skeleton is added to each image. Created digitally. The line work was likely made using pen but the colouring is clearly digital.

Tarot de Las Galaxias By Argentinian artist Rosa Elena Ortega, Editorial Solar, Colombia 2005. 78 cards 125x70mm. This seems to have been created using water-coloured pencils, as some areas have the characteristic colour pencil texture while other parts of the image show the use of water to soften edges and intensify the colour. This deck is based on some strange UFO ideas with many of the images incorporating flying saucers and alien like beings. The cards are renamed.
