Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: This exquisite deck was owned by the Venier family of Venice. Most likely produced around 1491 by artist Nicola di Maestro Antonio, the Sola-Busca deck consists of seventy-eight cards and is unique in that each card is illustrated with characters based on figures of classical antiquity. Some authors believe that the symbolism of this deck derives from alchemical theories about transforming base metals into gold. The practice of illustrating each of the seventy-eight tarot cards with a unique scene or character would not be repeated until Pamela Colman Smith painted the now famous Rider-Waite-Smith deck in 1909.

In early tarot decks, the Fool is unnumbered. He is often shown as a madman, vagabond, or beggar; he stands completely apart from the sequence of trumps in the tarot deck. In the tarot games of northern Italy, the Fool was regarded as an ‘excuse card’ as ‘playing the Fool’ excused the player from following suit or playing a trump card on a particular trick. Metaphorically, the Fool functions as an outsider looking in; he gives the player an excuse for not following the established rules of the game.

Elements of the Psychic World: Perhaps the most popular name in Europe for the mysterious ghost lights that are often seen hovering around or near graveyards or over marshy areas. One tradition says the will-o’-the-wisp are the souls of dead people appearing as a death omen or guarding lost treasure; another claims they are lost souls who cannot enter heaven or hell and therefore become malignant and do their best to lead those foolish enough to follow them into trouble. Recent research has suggested a natural explanation: the lights are caused by the igniting of gasses escaping from rotting plants or animals.
