Includes a Digital Download - The Renais Tarot Codex EBook with every order.
The Renais Tarot: The Illuminated Codex is the official companion guide to the Renais Tarot deck and the Renais Tarot Book Box Edition, created to fully explore the depth, history, and symbolism of this Renaissance-inspired tarot system.
Rooted in the traditions of early Italian tarot, this volume bridges historical philosophy with thoughtful modern reflection. More than a traditional tarot guidebook, the Codex offers a layered approach to interpretation—combining historical context, symbolic analysis, and personal contemplation.
For every card, the book includes:
Personal reflection and guiding messages
Extended upright and reversed meanings
Key themes and archetypal influences
Reflective insights for everyday life
Journaling prompts for deeper self-exploration
Historical context drawn from the 15th-century Master E-Series Tarocchi
Symbolic analysis of the artwork
A focused affirmation to embody the card’s energy
Beyond individual card interpretations, the Codex delves into the history of the Master E-Series Tarocchi, its influence on later tarot systems, and the philosophical foundations that shaped early tarot symbolism. It offers a rare perspective on tarot as it was first conceived—before standardized structures and modern conventions.
Whether used alongside the Renais Tarot deck, as part of the Renais Tarot Book Box Edition, or studied on its own, The Illuminated Codex serves as both a scholarly reference and a contemplative guide—connecting past and present through art, history, and meaning.
