The Handmade Art of Tarot Cards

  • In a dusty, crowded shop in Milan, Italy, artist Osvaldo Menegazzi toils, as he has for decades, designing intricate decks of tarot cards. Every card a handmade work of art, Mengazzi draws and paints each one, starting with Death. Even the location of his shop has meaning, as the origins of tarot are thought to be Milanese with the oldest surviving cards dating to the mid-15th century. For Menegazzi, whether you believe in the power of the cards or not, they speak.
    This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

    Osvaldo Menegazzi passed away this month on December 13, 2021. One of the modern world's greatest Tarot artists, you will be missed and your work and legacy will undoubtedly live on.

The amount of work that goes into each card is just way beyond what I can comprehend in an artistic point of view plus the amount of dedication and passion that he pours into each card and deck is just AMAZING!👏🏻👏🏻✨✨

    This touches me on quite the spiritual level, as I work with tarot often. He is right, the cards do speak, my first deck showed that to me. I bought them for the art and suddenly I was learning how to read them, like a sort of inexplicable pull! I've come to find that not only are they remarkably accurate, but that they are a wonderful way to connect with and help others. Tarot readings aren't about telling the future like in the movies, it's honestly a lot like therapy. They allow you to open up and subjectively talk about your problems, and what you can do to help yourself going forward, it prepares you for the future. I love how he starts with the Death card each time, and I'd love to commission Mr. Menegazzi one day, though I admit that feels like a pipe dream, as surely they are quite expensive and I sadly don't speak my ancestry's language. He seems to have a nigh intimate connection to them that one day I hope to achieve at least.
