Imported Tarots
Discover our imported tarot decks at Aeternum: foreign editions, graphic variations, and sets offered in their original presentation. These decks let you find titles that do not always have a French translation or regular distribution in France.
Before buying, check the language of the cards and booklet, the number of cards, the format, and the publisher. An imported set may be based on the Rider-Waite-Smith, Marseille, or Thoth tarot, or develop its own system. This information matters more than the country of publication alone when determining whether the deck suits your method.
Collector tarot decks complement this selection with editions sought after for their presentation or graphic design. Rider-Waite-Smith, Marseille Tarots, and Thoth Tarots let you return to a specific tradition.

Choose an imported tarot deck without getting the language or system wrong.
Imported tarot decks provide access to foreign editions, graphic variations, and boxed sets that are not widely distributed in France. Their main advantage is the choice they offer; the main point to watch is the language, the system used, and the exact contents of the box.
Check the language of the cards and that of the booklet separately. Also look at the publisher, dimensions, and structure: Rider-Waite-Smith, Marseille, Thoth, or a system specific to the edition.

The language of the booklet is not the same as that of the cover
A box may display several languages even though the detailed booklet remains in English, Italian, or Spanish. Check the product page and ask for confirmation if necessary.
If you are already familiar with the system, a compatible French book can accompany a deck whose cards contain little text.
Identify the system before purchase
A foreign edition may be based on the Rider-Waite-Smith, Marseille, Thoth, or an original structure. This information determines which books and methods you can use.
Compare several decks and the publisher's information instead of relying solely on the artwork.
Import does not mean collection
An imported tarot can be a standard edition in its country of origin. A collector's tarot is chosen for its edition, relative rarity, craftsmanship, or graphic appeal.
The two categories may overlap, but they do not describe the same thing.
Compare price, size, and availability
The price may vary depending on the edition, import status, set, and format. Also check current availability: a foreign edition may be less consistently available than a French edition.
Choose according to the intended use rather than out of fear of missing an edition that would not suit your method.
Frequently asked questions about imported tarot decks
System, edition, format, and learning: the answers before choosing.
What is an imported tarot deck?
This is an edition distributed from another market or offered in its original presentation, with a foreign language or publisher depending on the reference.
Are the booklets in French?
Not always. Check the language of the booklet and the language of the cards separately.
Can you use an English tarot deck with a French book?
Yes, if the system matches and you are sufficiently familiar with the card titles. Compare the names and order of the cards.
Do imported tarot decks always have 78 cards?
No. As with the other editions, some variants modify or reduce the structure. Check the number of cards.
Is an imported tarot deck rarer?
Not necessarily. It may be common in its country of origin. Import describes distribution, not rarity.

Look at the scenes of the minors, the order of the majors, and the publisher's information. The listing may also specify the family.
