Austin Osman Spare Tarot Deck

The English artist and mystic Austin Osman Spare hand painted this 79-card tarot deck around 1906 when popular interest in both theatrical and esoteric magic was booming. Austin Spare is considered one of the most influential and innovative figures of 20th century occultism, and the presence of this important relic of the British Occult Revival in The Magic Circle’s collection bears witness to a fascinating period of historical crossover.
