Talk:Bourgeois Tarot

Page Created
OK, First off, I created this page largely because descriptions of other tarot decks have their own pages with card art, while the deck most often used for the traditional card games did not. Thus, the articles dealing with Tarot decks either have to describe the difference or link to the French Tarot article, which used to be the only place the image shown in this article was found. This should allow tarot articles to focus less on what any deck looks like and more on what it's used for.

The information in this article is good to the best of my knowledge since it was culled from various Wiki articles that discuss the deck, but all the same it could do with some citations. The deck may have other names; "Bourgeois Tarot" is another one I've seen that is very similar. Feel free to improve on this. Liko81 (talk) 21:01, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Tarot Nouveau → Bourgeois Tarot – Bourgeois Tarot (which currently redirects here) is the name recognised by the International Playing Card Society for the pattern of Tarot cards that includes, but is not limited to, Tarot Nouveau. The Bourgeois Tarot pattern appeared in Germany in the mid-19th century and is characterised by genre scenes on the Tarots which depict outdoor and indoor scenes, originally of the bourgeoisie. Although there are variants showing less well-to-do folk, the name Bourgeois Tarot is the generic name for the family. Meanwhile the Tarot Nouveau is a specific type of Bourgeois Tarot produced by Grimaud and other French cardmakers in the 20th century and which is commonly used in France for playing French Tarot and could form a section within the proposed article title along with another section for the Cego design of Bourgeois Tarot cards.

Tarot "themes"
The table of tarot cards is reproduced from an archived web page of the Tarot Club d'Orphine. The descriptions are fine as they can easily be verified, however the web page gives no source for the alleged "themes" for the tarot cards. Who came up with them? The original designer? Or are they meanings subsequently placed on them? And by whom? The Tarot Club members? With what authority were the themes selected? Unless a reliable source can be found for these 'meanings' my sense is that the themes should be deleted. Bermicourt (talk) 15:21, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
