The record
Italian artist Luigi Scapini is the illustrator of several well-known historical tarot decks published by Dal Negro and U.S. Games, among them inspired interpretations such as the Medieval Scapini and the Shakespeare Tarot: Tarocchi di Romeo e Giulietta. This is his first collaboration with Italian author Marco Marini. The Kabbalistic Visions deck and book set published by Schiffer comes nicely boxed in Schiffers usual quality packaging, along with a fold out art poster of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The approximately 5.5 x 3.5 cards are undeniably attractive; vibrantly colorful, and presented on sturdy card stock with silvered edges. Each card is depicted as if painted on a scroll against a black background, unfortunately making the borders over-large and the detail of the artwork difficult to appreciate. Although my personal exposure to Kabbala is limited, I understand Kabbalah to be a body of esoteric teachings intended to explain the relationship between the eternal and unchanging Creator and the mortal and finite universe. It is this relationship that is explored and interpreted via Marini and Scapinis collaboration. Marini states the vision of the Marini-Scapini Tarot
