The record
This deck based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ shares some common features with tarot: it has 22 Major Cards depicting archetypes or major truths (analogous to the Major Arcana); 40 Minor Cards depicting lessons for mundane aspects of life (analogous to Minor Arcana); and 16 People Cards depicting personalities or figures (analogous to the Court cards). However, the connection to conventional tarot largely ends there, and I suspect many tarotists will find it difficult to pick up the Master Tarot and use it as a tarot deck with traditional pre-set meanings (RWS; Thoth; Etteilla, etc.). ARTWORK This deck is illustrated by well-known tarot artist Amerigo Folchi. Human figures, animals, and buildings and landscapes are all competently executed and rendered in bright, cheerful colors. Some of the images look like they could appear in a childrens illustrated Bible storybook; others resemble stained glass windows. Two or three cards contain mildly rendered male and female nudity. There is no blood or physical violence depicted (just a hand brandishing a whip at a building), and there are no drawings of the European-style Devil. Jesus crucifixion is suggested only metaphori
