There have been other editions of WirthвЂ™s deck that have not been correctly executed according to his colour descriptions in his вЂMagiciansвЂ™ book, but this deck does follow his colour correspondences very well.

In certain light the images appear to look 3D due to the ornate backgrounds. The colours used in this deck are very subtle and the whole mood of the deck is very art deco, which gives this deck a very calm meditative feel. The titles are in French (all text is gold metallic ink as with the rest of this deck)) with WirthвЂ™s choice of Hebrew Kabbala letters on them. Each card appears as the gilded iconic masterpiece Wirth intended them to be as each of the 22 lames features a golden background and a geometric/mosaic pattern surrounding each image as in the 1927 pack. The deck is rendered faithfully true to the original in this edition. This deck is not a redrawn deck like most of the Wirth decks in the past and present have been, so it is an excellent tool to use in relation to the writings of Wirth or Papus. Wirth is the true artist of this deck and his signature appears on each card face. Wirth only concentrated on the 22 major arcana cards, why he never wrote or drew the minor arcana is a bit of a mystery. In this revison pack, he included sacred geometric shapes, more colour and provided a lush gold ink background for each of the twenty-two images. This deck was drawn in 1926 as a revision of the deck he drew for the Papus book вЂTarot of the BohemiansвЂ™. In 1927 Wirth published his own now classic book вЂTarot of The MagiciansвЂ™ to coincide with the release of the deck that is the subject of this review. His deck first appeared in the Tarot literary classic вЂTarot of the BohemiansвЂ™ by Papus. Oswald also wanted to show the Tarot in the light of вЂfreemasonryвЂ™ and added design elements that suggest the process of initiation into a lodge/freemasonry. He felt that with his new design that he was restoring the hieroglyphical purity that had been lost throughout time back into the Tarot. His deck changed a little in imagery due to later re-workings, but remained true to his original goal of вЂilluminatingвЂ™ the Tarot De Marseille. Oswald Wirth was a Swiss occultist that is mostly remembered nowadays for designing one of the first Tarot decks with metaphysical symbolism in the late 1800вЂ™s.
