Grand Etteilla Tarot Deck & Guide – Vintage Facsimile (Extra Large Edition)

18th-century Etteilla tarot reproduction in oversized 5.5″ format with guidebook

Product Description

The Grand Etteilla Tarot Deck & Guide is a striking vintage facsimile of one of the earliest occult tarot systems ever published.

First produced in 18th-century Paris by Jean-Baptiste Alliette, known by his pseudonym Etteilla, this deck represents a pivotal moment in tarot history.

Etteilla was the first professional tarot occultist — the first to publicly popularise tarot divination and the first to design a deck specifically for esoteric use.

This edition faithfully honours that legacy in a bold, extra-large format.

🔮 Extra Large Format

This deck measures:

5.5 inches x 2.75 inches

For comparison:

• Standard tarot decks: approx. 4.75 x 2.75 inches

• Playing cards: approx. 3.5 x 2.5 inches

The increased height allows the historic imagery and French titles to stand out clearly, giving the deck a commanding, ceremonial presence during readings.

Printed on high-quality 350gsm coated cardstock, this facsimile balances historical aesthetics with modern durability.

Printed in the U.S.A.

✨ Historical Significance

The Grand Etteilla deck includes:

• 22 Major Arcana

• 56 Minor Arcana

• French card titles

Etteilla introduced correspondences between tarot, astrology, the four classical elements, and the four humors — laying early foundations for occult tarot practice as we know it.

This is not Rider–Waite based.
This is pre-RWS occult tarot history.
