Tarot of the Angels

Giordano Berti wrote the little white book for Tarot of the Angels, first published by Lo Scarabeo of Italy in 2007, with graphics credited to Pietro Alligo. The archive calls Berti a well-known tarot writer, and that pedigree gives the accompanying text more weight than the slim booklets many decorative decks ship with, even as the cards themselves lean toward beauty over teaching, finished in a matte stock chosen for how it reads under lamp light rather than how it survives constant shuffling. Angels function here as a unifying visual subject rather than a structured hierarchy, closer to a gallery theme than a codified system of archangel correspondences. It suits readers who want an attractive, well-researched angel tarot backed by an actual historian's notes, and collectors drawn to matte finishes over gloss. Readers wanting the imagery alone to teach card meanings, without outside reading, may find the beauty outrunning the instruction.
