Notoria - Tarot in Light

The Notoria - Tarot in Light is a 78-card tarot deck published by Lo Scarabeo, drawing inspiration from the Ars Notoria, the fifth book of the Lemegeton. This deck is designed to be a 'Golden Angelic Tarot,' as indicated on the box, suggesting a focus on celestial and spiritual themes. The campaign highlights its unique production, specifically mentioning printing on 'metal gold premium cardstock,' which implies a luxurious and durable finish that sets it apart from standard paper decks.

Created by Fabio Listrani, known for other successful decks like the Night Sun Tarot and Goetia Tarot in Darkness, Notoria continues a lineage of visually rich and thematically deep works. The deck includes a book by Listrani, indicating that it comes with comprehensive guidance for interpretation, likely tailored to its specific esoteric inspiration. The successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020, raising over $107,000 from 812 backers, underscores significant community interest in its unique aesthetic and thematic approach.

The thematic foundation in the Ars Notoria, an ancient grimoire associated with angelic magic and intellectual mastery, suggests a deck intended for profound spiritual inquiry and self-development. The 'Tarot in Light' subtitle further implies a focus on illumination, clarity, and positive spiritual guidance, contrasting with the 'Darkness' theme of some of Listrani's other works. This deck is positioned as both a collector's item due to its premium materials and a powerful tool for advanced spiritual practice.

This deck is ideal for experienced tarot readers and collectors who appreciate unique, high-quality production and esoteric themes. Those interested in angelic magic, ceremonial magic, or the Lemegeton tradition will find its inspiration particularly compelling. Readers who prefer a dramatic, classical art style with a strong spiritual focus, and who are not intimidated by complex symbolism, will also be drawn to the Notoria Tarot. It is less suited for absolute beginners due to its specialized theme and potentially dense symbolism.

Fabio Listrani is the artist behind the Notoria - Tarot in Light, building on a successful portfolio that includes the Night Sun Tarot (2014), Santa Muerte Tarot (2017), Santa Muerte Oracle (2018), and Goetia Tarot in Darkness (2020). His consistent output of thematically rich and visually distinctive decks has established him as a notable figure in the tarot community. The Notoria deck continues his exploration of esoteric themes, this time drawing from the Ars Notoria, reflecting a deep engagement with ancient magical traditions and their modern interpretation through art.
