The Tarot of the Grand Hours of Rohan

The Tarot of the Grand Hours of Rohan is a tarot deck that draws its visual inspiration directly from the 1430 book of hours, an illuminated manuscript. This deck aims to transport readers to the medieval era through its art style, which meticulously recreates the aesthetic of historical religious texts. The cards shown, including The Hermit, Pentacles, Swords, and Wands, feature figures and scenes rendered in a style reminiscent of early Renaissance or late Gothic art, complete with rich, muted colors and intricate details.

The deck appears to follow a traditional tarot structure, retaining familiar card titles like "The Hermit" and the standard suit names of Pentacles, Swords, and Wands, with a small card for Cups also visible. This suggests that while the artwork is historical, the underlying system remains accessible to those familiar with conventional tarot. The small text at the bottom of each card, likely in Latin or Old French, further enhances the historical authenticity, grounding the deck in its source material.

Each card is presented in a tall, narrow format, typical of illuminated manuscript pages, with decorative borders and a textured background that mimics aged parchment. The overall presentation is one of reverence for historical art, making this deck a blend of divination tool and art historical artifact. The deck is an original creation by Libra Moon Inc, aiming to bring the beauty and symbolism of a specific historical period into contemporary tarot practice.

This deck is ideal for tarot readers who appreciate historical art, medieval aesthetics, and the rich tradition of illuminated manuscripts. It will appeal to collectors of unique and art-focused decks, as well as those interested in the historical origins of tarot and its connection to European art history. Readers who enjoy a more contemplative and visually rich experience, and who are comfortable with less modern or abstract imagery, will find this deck particularly engaging.
