Sex, Tarot, and Astrology meet in this sensual 78-card Tarot deck by well-known erotic comic artist Milo Manara. The artist's unique interpretations of the Major and Minor Arcana incorporate his usual playful, witty style. The Majors retain most of the traditional names, with The Punishment replacing The Hanged Man and The Mirror replacing The Wheel of Fortune. The Minor Arcana suits are named according to the element associated with each suit: fire, water, air, and earth. This seductive deck cleverly blends eroticism, art, and divination. Contains explicit content.

Ce tarot est fantastique; en plus des illustrations 200% manga, ses orientations eau-terre-air et feu, + ses 4 langues (français, allemand,anglais, italien?) rendent l'interprétation des plus faciles. Je l'ai reçu rapidement, en parfait état, et j'y jouerai souvent et longtemps encore je l'espère.

Manara Tarot
Jan 6 2002
By "deneb829"
- Published on Amazon.com
While the images are stunning, they do not seem to match the astrological meanings of cards. Like in the Thoth Deck, each card in the Manara Tarot has an astrological association printed on the card. For example, the 4 of water has the astrological symbol of moon in cancer. Moon in cancer relates to depth and intensity of emotion, home, and domestic security - the image of this card show a woman in a stream with a water bucket being startled by indians (native americans). Most cards in this deck are off like this and tying the meaning into the picture is a strecth at best. These astrological symbols are more in line with the traditional meanings of the tarot cards despite the images.
I do like the use of the elements as the suits; this deck had so much potential, but it seems that little care or effort went into making it usable as an indepth study into tarot using sexual symbolism (which is why I bought this deck).
If you're a collector of tarot decks and want something different, this is a good deck - if you're looking for a usable tarot deck with sexual symbols and archetypes, pass.

Erotic art tarot is a sensual journey
April 13 2001
By Ellen Etc.
- Published on Amazon.com
The Erotic Tarot, illustrated by Milo Manara and published by Lo Scarabeo of Italy, uses vibrant artwork and a healthy serving of humor in a lusty and wide-ranging erotic journey. This deck features erotic play, exhibitionism, voyeurism, B&D, and some S&M. Each card is marvelously unique and boldly colored, in the suits of water, earth, fire, and air, and the accompanying booklet provides upright and astrological meanings. One of my favorite cards, the 4 of Air, shows a young, waifish nude woman in untied work boots, holding a yellow parasol, suspended as if on a swing on a curl of movie film, looking skyward into an early yellow morning. Collectors of erotic decks, or those who prefer a less explicit deck, may want to check out The Tarots of Casanova, illustrated by Luca Raimondo, also produced by Lo Scarabeo.

Just for fun
Dec 30 2004
By Fire Dragon
- Published on Amazon.com
These are beautiful, fun, cards. I bought them for my collection, but I do not read with them due to the inaccuracies (unless I am in a very whimsical mood).
My major complaint -> The cards all have naked women and hardly any naked men. I find this highly unfair :-). This redblooded female would like to see a deck with more ...(ummm, I am not going to finish that sentance).
