Обзор New Century Tarot — Таро Нового Века

Это Таро художник Рольф Эйхельман создавал тринадцать лет . Первый опыт живописи  он получил с группой монахов в Греции, где он жил в то время. Они научили его искусству рисования традиционных религиозных икон. Это искусство и было воплощено в Таро Нового Века. С другой стороны, первое его Таро было с классический Райдер-Уэйт. Эти два фактора в 2002 году породили Таро Нового Века.

Это красивая смелая колода превозносит праздник жизни в новом веке. Карты графически проиллюстрированы, с богатой природой, и акцентирован  золотыми чернилами. Новый век Таро -это классическая традиция Таро в огранке потрясающих драгоценных тонов.

На Арканах часто повторяющиеся темы — например, увеличенное изображение горизонта усеяно деревьями на дальнем фоне. На центральную часть всех карт помещено лоно, которое меняется в зависимости от символики карты, как в цвете так и в дизайне. Эта же функция в Младших Арканах используется для идентификации указанных мастей. На переднем плане Дворцовых карт  небольшие изображения передающие смысл карты.

Яркие цвета, используемые в колоде, привлекательны и свежие. Колода сильно стилизована, подробна и оригинальна.

Но для начинающих немножко трудновата для понимания. bros-s.narod.ru

New Century Tarot

0 The Fool
The careless Fool walks around without watching his path and with the aim of a child. He is dressed imaginatively and his right foot still stands firm on the ground. A barking dog jumps up his left leg, but the Fool is unaware of its presence. Nor does he take notice that his left foot is stepping into empty space. He tilts his face upward with a cheeky expression and wears a fool’s cap on his head.
Only children and fools possess this naive joy of life. The broad sunbeam falling down to earth behind him emphasizes the serenity of this picture.
With his left hand he carries a stick. It rests over his shoulder and drops downward with the weight of its contents. The stick holds a bundle containing his few belongings. In his right hand he holds a fresh green walking staff that touches the flowing water.
Card Meaning: Adventure, pleasure, spontaneity, curiosity, childlike confidence, and longing. Stupidity, immaturity, failings, and lack of responsibility.

I The Magician
In the middle of an imaginative landscape the Magician stands on a carpet as a symbol of earth, hovering above quietly flowing water. With concentration he looks at the three cups on a table in front of him. The three elements; water, fire, and air fill the cups. The Magician holds a wand in each of his hands. He is master of both magic and research—magical and intellectual in his own nature.
A mystical aura surrounds him, which is visible as an outlined circle carried by two wings and framed by fable creatures. The flowing water of the river symbolizes strength and independence because it seeks its destination without effort. 
Card Meaning: Concentration, mastery, strong will, skill, and self-confidence. Also represents abuse of power, a trickster, or a person who bluffs artfully.

II The High Priestess
Wearing a transparent red dress, the High Priestess stands with outstretched arms on a blue carpet. She is serene—she is a goddess and woman in one person. The crown on her head is open like a cup symbolizing the receiving woman. Yet at the same time she is closed by the moon inside, the symbol of the priestess as representative of the gods. She holds a wand and a circle in her right hand. The wand a symbol of transience, the circle infinity. In her left hand she holds an opened book, offering a glimpse of the knowledge she has to offer. Card Meaning: Intuition, patience, mysterious knowledge, female power, a visionary, or someone skilled in medicine. Also depicts the veiling of true intentions, one who has bewitching and destructive powers.

III The Empress
A young winged queen bows her beautiful face toward the eagle sitting on her left arm. In her right hand she holds a scepter. The throne itself is not of great importance. She is not someone who needs to demonstrate her authority—she simply has it. She is the Empress and a life-giving woman.
Card Meaning: Renewal, growth, care, devotion, and leadership. Also indicates infidelity and painful changes.

IV The Emperor
The king sits on his richly decorated throne, wearing extravagant clothing. In his right hand he holds the «apple of the empire,» a symbol of the world. In his left hand he holds his scepter. Both objects are insignia of his worldly power. To his left, there is an eagle with his wings spread, ready to fly. The eagle personifies spirit when combined with strength. The Emperor plants his right foot strictly on earth, while his left touches water. His position in each realm expresses that he grants security in both places.
Card Meaning: Authoritarian leader, self-assertion, responsibility, and intelligence combined with wisdom. But also indicates coldness, distance, and a lack of emotion.

V The Hierophant
The Hierophant stands between two columns. He is awe-inspiring, draped in a dignified robe. On his head he wears a bishop’s hat like a crown.
In his left hand he holds a wand, which ends in a triple cross depicting the physical, spiritual, and divine world. His face expresses infinite wisdom and a mild demeanor. In front of him three young people are kneeling. They represent his own past inner struggles that he endured to achieve this deep spiritual unity and internal contentment. This inner journey has made him what we see now. 
Card Meaning:  Strong belief, spirituality, confidence, search for truth, inspiration, and wisdom. But beware of hypocrisy, arrogance, intolerance, and rigidity.

VI The Lovers
In a meditating attitude and veiled in a shining white robe, the priest rises above a pair of lovers kneeling on a carpet in front of him. On the left side, the bottom of the priest’s robe turns into flowing water. Over his right shoulder the sun blazes in the sky as a fire sign, while over his left shoulder a small amorous god glides along, bow and arrow in his hands. The priest raises his hand over The Lovers to bless them. An aura surrounds their heads, and with this blessing they carefully lean into one another and touch hands. 
Card Meaning: Confidence, harmony, the ability to overcome oppositions and contradictions, willingness to accept bonds, and the ability to experience devotion. Jealousy, self-resignation, and pessimism are also indicated.

VII Chariot
The upright attitude of the young conqueror expresses determination as well as reserve. Armor and helm indicate his determination, while his hidden face hints at his reserve. The horses look in opposite directions. The Chariot driver, always ready for departure, directs the horses with sure hands toward the unknown stretching out before them in brilliant red color.
Card Meaning: Skill, conquest, spirit of enterprise, and willingness to take risks. There are also signs of carelessness, reckless behavior, and exaggerated self-confidence.

VIII Strength
We view a woman in opulent dress wearing a fan-like crown. Above her is a transparent hat representing the symbol of infinity. With grace and internal strength she looks into the wide-opened maw of the monster at her feet. Without effort she holds open the mouth of the lion-like animal, which remains docile in silent devotion.
Card Meaning: Courage, power of spirit, power of love, vitality, and passion. Also indicates the strive for power, megalomania, and destruction.

IX The Hermit
The white-haired and bearded old man searches for his way through water, supported by his staff. He holds up a burning lantern in his left hand to light his view. White clouds billow out of his black cowl-like robe as a small red drake winds around his left foot. 
Card Meaning: Seclusion, search for internal reality, gain-ing experiences and ideas, strength and clearness apart from activity. Loneliness, fear, bitter feelings, and a weariness of life are also evident.

X The Wheel Fortune
Two white snakes wind around a mast upon which a wheel is mounted. Behind it a red sail is unfurled. The wheel is a symbol of perpetual movement with no distinct beginning or end. Strange beings populate the wheel. The horned figures—first climbing up and then falling down—show us the perpetual ups and downs of life.
The sphinx is poised seductively, but she maintains a balance on the wheel with the aid of her blue wings. 
Card Meaning: Accepting your fortune, change, a new beginning, or unexpected good luck. Being at fortune’s mercy, instability, resignation, and helplessness are also indicated.

XI Justice
A feminine figure dressed in a bright orange-red dress sits on a throne. The throne reaches upward into two columns on either side of her. The colors of her dress represent spirituality and intelligence.
The severe shape of her crown is compensated by the small white cloud of spirit pouring out of the gap. In her right hand she holds a heavy sword. It serves neither for defense nor for attack, but it is the sign of execution. In her left hand she holds up a pair of scales that remain empty. They indicate that nothing has been decided as of yet. 
Card Meaning: Incorruptible, honesty, balance, and the power of judgment. Inability of action, complacency, and abuse are also represented.

XII The Hanged Man
A naked man hangs upside down from a crossbar between two artfully decorated columns. His face, with its wide-open expression, is turned toward the viewer. His body is veiled with a radiant aura and he does not appear to be in immediate danger. A foaming river flows below him as a symbol of life. 
Card Meaning: Change, regeneration, a turning point or new orientation, seeing things from a different perspective. Also indicates a standstill, passiveness, resignation, and self-denial.

XIII Death
This crimson figure of death doesn’t answer the traditional idea of the death itself. He is wrapped in a tight red dress, his head surrounded by a fiery garland of beams while he walks through his field. He carries a death-bringing scythe in his hands, and kindly looks upon the dead bodies at his feet. On the left and right beside him there is new growth in the form of plants with human heads awaiting their birth. The life-giving river flows bubbling through the dry landscape. 
Card Meaning: Farewell, release, to put an end to something in order for something new to begin, rebirth, and growth. Fear of loss, dead feelings, numbness, and change are also indicated.

XIV Temperance
The angel in his blue richly folded robe stands in the middle of the picture. His face expresses harmony and balance of mind. The big yellow wings indicate his godlike nature. In his hands he holds two golden jugs. He carefully pours the contents from one jug to the other. 
Card Meaning: Patience, internal and external harmony, reason, calm, and striving for wisdom. Instability, self-consciousness, and greed are also indicated.

XV The Devil
The Devil’s presence is both demonic and frightening—he dominates the picture. Kneeling with one leg, with the other leg bent in order to fully raise himself, he stands on a round black pedestal that serves as an altar.
Two downward shaped horns rise out of his tapered head, while his pointed ears also give indication to the animal nature of his being. The large wings behind him, littered with eyes, remind us of the fallen angel. In his left hand he holds an extinguished torch. And at his feet we see two naked figures bound to the altar, and thus, the Devil himself.
Card Meaning: Violence, destructive powers, instinct, seduction, greed for power, addiction, and slavery. Liberation, contemplation, and spiritual understanding are also indicated.

XVI The Tower
A black curtain has darkly descended behind the tower and imposes a threatening presence. The Tower can be viewed as a symbol of imprisonment and also one of seclusion. A violent energy hits the tower unexpectedly and tears the building down to the ground.
A man and a woman are helplessly falling to the ground. They cannot be saved from the fall or the impact. The woman wears a white dress and she bravely faces her fate with open eyes. The crowned man meets his fate with outstretched arms to brace the fall.
Plants sprout through the paving stones and denote that there is rebirth here too, and something new will emerge from this sudden impact.
Card Meaning: Rigidity, destruction, disaster, chaos, overthrow with both a negative and positive outcome. Breaking up paralyzed thought, a new beginning.

XVII The Star
In a blossoming garden a young woman sits naked with an orange cloth draped about her. She kneels on the bank of a wildly foaming river. Water streams out of her open palms and unites with the water of the rushing stream. Her hair is in the form of a crown and is adorned with a golden star, which shines brighter than the more imposing star in the sky. The larger star rises above her like a carpet. She watches the flowing water thoughtfully, and two birds, messengers of God, stand by her.
Card Meaning: Love and confidence, life energy, abundance, excess, fulfillment, and deep understanding. Doubt, and lack of focus on the present while being too intent on the future is also indicated.

XVIII The Moon
The night sky is full of pale stars as it stretches through the picture like a broad wave. We can see the sickle shaped moon as a whole disk because the circle has been completed in pale blue.
Two wolf-headed figures with black faces and dark red manes are kneeling in the water and howling toward the moon.
A snake winds itself around one of the wolf men. Two humans hover and watch the scene from the window of a stone castle.
Card Meaning: Instability, intrigue, illusions, fears, and anxiety. Imagination, longing, and dreams. Darkness followed by light is also indicated.

XIX The Sun
The Sun appears in a spiral-shaped circle as a flaming symbol of the universe.
The heat of her glow can be seen as a fiery aura streaming up and down to earth. The sky is folding up above a brick wall. Two children, naked and innocent, stand in front of it. One of the children stretches out his arm toward the warming sun. Colorful seed grains fall to the ground, while on the right side life-giving water flows.
Card Meaning: Vitality, growth, joy of life, cheerfulness, warmth, and positive energy. Being overly confident or naive is also evident.

XX Judgment
An angel glides down with flaming wings in front of the dark blue band of sky. He holds his hands over the human figures, who stand before him naked and vulnerable, in order to protect them. Some of them are engulfed by a beaming aura, others are just approaching. Cleansing water flows around the feet of the reborn figures. Flakes of light pour out of the angel’s palms and fall down to earth in order to drive away darkness.
Card Meaning: Resurrection, rebirth, and renewal. Imprisonment and condemnation are also indicated.

XXI The World
In front of the bright universe the archetype mother sits naked on a dark blue carpet that spreads over a bull and lion. In her right hand she holds a blue sphere as a symbol of the earth and in her left hand she seizes the lion’s head as if to take ownership of it.
A vaulted rainbow rises behind her. To the left of it an eagle has perched to represent her authority. A white angel looks down on the woman from the right, depicting her advanced maturity. The river of fertility flows at her feet.
