Tarot Decks: Tarocchi del Respiro (Tarot of Breath)

Published in 200, Tarocchi del Respiro (Tarot of Breath) is both dark and dreamy. The images were designed by artist Giovanni Monti and express a dark serenity. They're really a collage of images that appear to have little in common with each other. In deed, the cards might be said to have only one thing in common: the deeply evocative imagery of each and every card. The deck is accompanied by a leaflet, but this leaflet is written in Italian.

There are only 22 cards in this Tarot deck, all of them Trump cards. because of this, it's difficult to use these cards in a reading. Perhaps Tarocchi del Respiro is more useful as a focus during meditation. In my experience, these images are an effective way to pull forth your deepest hopes and fears, allowing you to full comprehend and deal with them. This deck is also inspiring and beautiful, attractive to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

There were only 500 copies of this deck produced, all numbered and signed by the artist. This deck may not be the most popular, but it certainly is one of the most surreal.
