The Tarot of Occult Energies is a deck of 78 Arcana created between 1945-46 by French painter Jean Chaboseau, Grand Master of the Martinist Order created by Papus around 1889. A very rare copy of the deck, originally produced in black and white with the title Le Tarot traditionnel, was donated by a High initiate to historian Giordano Berti, who commissioned an artist to paint the images with the typical colors of Chaboseau’s art. Rinascimento Italian Style Art has produced this magnificent work of art in a limited edition of 888 numbered copies, accompanied by a booklet containing historical information, meanings of the Arcana and practical reading methods.
These 32 DIVINATORY CARDS were found by the historian Giordano Berti in a private collection and then reproduced in a splendid limited edition of 800 numbered and signed copies.
The Wheel of Fortune will turn in favor of all those who have sown well in 2021. But, as always, the blindfolded Goddess will give many gifts even to those who do not deserve them. In any case, I wish you all the best.

The MOST LUXURIOUS and REFINED COLLECTION of TAROT, SIBYLS and OTHER MAGNIFICENT ARTWORKS PRODUCED in LIMITED EDITIONS by RINASCIMENTO are available on ETSY !
A very interesting aspect of the history of Tarot, in addition to the decks of cards, is a quantity of works of art that show scenes of various kinds related to the game, magic, religion and society in the broadest sense. I am speaking about paintings, engravings, sculptures and other artifacts.
In this article will be analyzed three engravings that Rinascimento Italian Style Art has recently reprinted to offer to Tarot lovers and card games passionate in general. These three reprints, also on sale on ETSY (complete with a technical data sheet), came from the pen of a great artist of the Baroque era, Giuseppe Maria Mitelli.
Giuseppe Maria Mitelli (Bologna 1634 – 1718)
Giuseppe Maria Mitelli was son of the famous painter Agostino Mitelli (Bologna 1609 – Madrid 1660). He too was an excellent painter, but above all he was one of the most prolific engravers of the seventeenth century. He reproduced masterpieces by Carracci, Guercino and other famous Bolognese painters.
He created an extraordinary quantity of subjects of all kinds in etching: popular scenes of daily life, sacred and profane allegories, political satires, proverbs. (1)
In the great production of Mitelli stands out a wonderful Tarot deck faithfully reprinted in 2017 by Rinascimento Italian Style Art and accompanied by a valuable historical study complete with fortune telling instructions. (2)
Mitelli was passionate about all kinds of sports games and was a frequent visitor to the most diverse gaming environments, both in aristocratic houses and in taverns.
From the mid-eighties of the seventeenth century, the Bolognese artist devoted himself to the invention of board games, which he himself illustrated and explained in the engraving itself or in separate sheets. To date, thirty-three engravings of various sizes are known. (3)
In the games created by Mitelli there are sometimes references to current affairs and international politics, such as in the Game of Turkish, German and Venetian (c.1685) or The Game of Hope (1699).
Game of Turkish, German and Venetian (c.1685)
In some games Mitelli impose a satirical imprint towards the society of his time, but above all stands out, in each image, the extraordinary imagination of the artist, for which every aspect of daily life and even the human physiognomy were a source of inspiration for new pastimes, as in Donkeys Game (1687), Game of all forms of Noses (1687), Game of the Beloved with Lovers (1690), Game of the Eyes and Mouths (1690), Game of Crafts (1698), just to mention a few titles.
Even the classic card games inspired Giuseppe Maria Mitelli various scenes, which were accompanied by ethical comments, such as the three reprints proposed by Rinascimento Italian Style Art (BUY them on ETSY).
In the first print, entitled The player and the death, taken from the series “The Twenty-Four Hours of Human Happiness” (1675), a player raises a 6 of Coins with his right hand, while with his left he indicates playing cards, dice and coins scattered on the table. Other playing cards are scattered on the floor.
The gambler and the death (1675)
Below you can read two rhyming captions that underline the moralistic vision of Mitelli. In the left one the player speaks:
GAMBLER The game was always my pleasure and care What a good time playing. it spends The game makes me earn more than anything else And without being a Jew i live with usury.
DEATH Until the extreme age, from the greenest The unstable fortune is at stake, and if you get a treasure sometimes, more often because of him the soul is lost.
The second print is entitled “Who plays by need loses by necessity”, that is, The unfortunate card player, taken from “Figured proverbs” (1678).
The unfortunate card player (1678)
Here, a man is taking off his shirt in front of a woman who offers him a playing card. On the table we see many coins, while on the ground, next to the woman’s feet, we see the clothes that the player has already lost. The caption reads the following warning:
More and more is consumed, and always losing, the beggar who tries to enrich himself with the game, because green hope is always fallacious.
As if to say that the poor man who tries his luck at the game will lose even the little he has, because his Hope (traditionally the color of this virtue is green) will always be misplaced.
The third print, titled The Card Players is taken from “The Honored Life of the Idle” (1683), dedicated to the time wasters of whom Mitelli describes in six images the life and the natural ending in poverty. In the fifth scene, a prelude to the final misery, the idle man dedicates himself to the card game and seems to ask how he could lose.
The Card Players (1683)
The caption at the foot of the figure explains:
The lazy man has the weight of any defect and not only has Ceres and Bacchus for consorts, but his soul is so fiery for the game that his honor and money go missing.
And if from a friendly lip he is reproached, he swears in spite of wise advice, because the lazy one, to live as he wishes, would also throw away his part of the Sun.
In short, following the common idea that idleness is the origin of all vices, Mitelli affirm that the idle is disposal to lose even light, that is to say the sight, to follow his unhealthy habits.
It may seem strange that Mitelli, passionate about every game genre and also the inventor of numerous board games, including a Tarot deck, was so critical of card players. Actually Mitelli was an extremely balanced man, critical of both the harmful habits of the people and of fanatic clergy, who saw in the playing cards a diabolical invention. Mitelli, on the other hand, used games to educate people using, as they say, poison as an antidote to poison.
