Mes garanties – Le Temple du Tarot

The Astrological Tarot by Georges Muchery is an antique divination deck published by Éditions du Chariot in Paris, France. This example corresponds to an original 1972 edition. The accompanying booklet bears the printing statement dated December 8, 1972, by Joseph Floch, master printer in Mayenne, France.

This deck consists of 48 cards divided into four suits, illustrated with various astrological elements, including planets, zodiac signs, the ascendant, the Part of Fortune and other symbols. It comes with its original explanatory booklet entitled "48 Lames avec Méthode", written entirely in French.

This antique example shows signs of use and age-related wear. The cards have yellowed, with wear along their edges and some slight warping. The booklet shows overall yellowing, creases and a small tear. The original box is in fair condition, but its bottom lid is missing and its top lid is held together with adhesive tape.
