The Tarot of the Alchemical Magnum Opus

The Tarot of the Alchemical Magnum Opus is a masterful creation by renowned artist and scholar Robert M. Place, continuing his exploration of the profound connection between alchemical symbolism and traditional Tarot imagery. This deck reimagines the iconic Alchemical Tarot, distilling its intricate visuals into 78 simplified yet powerful images, inspired by traditional oracle decks like the Lenormand.

Rooted in the timeless quest for inner transformation, each card embodies a step in the alchemical journey toward discovering one’s own "gold"—a metaphor for inner wisdom and enlightenment. Using a refined four-color palette of black, white, blue, and red—along with selective touches of yellow—Place captures the aesthetic of Renaissance printing techniques while paying homage to ancient Greek alchemy’s influence on Western art.

Whether for meditation, divination, or deep study, The Tarot of the Alchemical Magnum Opus offers a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, guided by Robert M. Place’s visionary artistry and understanding of the alchemical process.

The 78 gold tipped cards along with a small booklet describing each card are housed in a beautiful green cloth box.
