The Alchemical Tarot was born in 1987, when Robert M. Place had a flash of insight during the Harmonic Convergence. While studying an alchemical image of the Philosopher’s Stone, he suddenly saw that the alchemical Great Work and the Tarot’s Major Arcana told the same spiritual story. This vision laid the foundation for a deck that would become a modern classic. First published in 1995, the deck has evolved through six editions, each refining its art and symbolism. With this 7th edition, Place has redrawn every card using digital line work and enhanced color, offering the clearest, most refined version to date—an inspired continuation of a decades-long journey.
