The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy and means the unpredictable nature of Fate. The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna, who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel - some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls.

The faces of the people depicted portray a sensitivity and grace that is reminiscent of the faces in stained glass windows. The richly coloured clothes and lush surroundings are only enhanced by the deliberate naivety of the images; the disproportionate figures and peculiar perspectives add to the feeling of truth and authenticity that is so clearly a part of these cards. The 22 trumps have a yellow green background and the images chosen for them conform to the traditional images found upon old and antique decks and medieval images.
These range from hand painted cards and wood block prints of the 15th century up to the well-known 18th century Conver designs and include the figure of Dame Fortune herself on trump X, turning the wheel of fate upon which we all ride. In keeping with the origin of these images and the ancient inspiration for this deck there is no cabbalistic and few astrological associations on these cards. Instead Huson relates them to medieval mystery plays such as the Dance of Death and to historical and allegorical figures such as pope Joan and Judas Iscariot who would have been familiar to the people of that time.
Huson also relates the images to the four cardinal virtues, three of which are clearly named and the fourth, Prudence, which has been variously identified by other tarot scholars, is here linked to trump XXI, The World where it is illustrated with an image based upon the 15th century Este design in which the figure of Prudence stands upon the material world holding her symbolic accoutrements of mirror and snake.
The virtues are also associated with the minors, one being given to each suit, as are the French playing card symbols of Clubs, Hearts, Spades and Diamonds. In his extended booklet Huson mentions the elemental associations of the suits and these appear to be acknowledged in the colour coding. Coins are a deep verdant green, Cups are a dark indigo, Swords are in fiery orange and Batons a pale sky blue.
On Fortune's Wheel
Huson has fully illustrated these minors and as with the majors the designs are taken from, or drawn to imitate, medieval illustrations and the suit symbols are clearly shown, generally above or below the illustrative picture. It will not go unnoticed that a few of these designs bear distinct correspondences to the symbols in the RWS images. Most notable amongst these would be the tombs in the 4 of Swords and other examples would include the family with in the gates of their walled home in the 10 of Coins and the man, lost in ennui on the 4 of cups, unable to see the wonder before him.
The majority of these images on these cards bear no relationship to any other deck and appear to be entirely original portrayals of the ideas contained therein.
Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card Meanings
To create them Huson has used an illustrative technique that not only used the scene portrayed to convey the meaning but which also incorporates symbolic allusions which would have been familiar to the medieval mind; symbols such as flowers, objects and allegorical figures that made up the lexicon of the common person in the days before reading and writing became wide spread. This is not so, the pictures, the poses, the faces alone speak volumes and intuitive readers should find much in these cards to spark their imagination, while a reader who prefers to work from the interpretations given in books will soon find that the charming and attractive images serve as an aide memoire to the meanings.
This is not an easy matter; Huson has created a deck where the majors perfectly capture the chosen iconography of the image, from the crude and clumsy Devil to the enigmatic androgen on the Star; where the courts are filled with people full of character and expression, from the serene confidence of the Queen of Coins to the saturnine Knight of Batons and where the minors are filled with perfect vignettes of life ranging from the doomed lovers in the 5 of Coins to the knight winning honour and acclaim in the 9 of cups.
If a flaw can be found in this deck it is that the dark indigo used for the background of the suit of cups makes the names of the King, Queen and Knave difficult to read in certain lights. But it could also be said that the colour is beautiful enough to make it worth such a small inconvenience.
Indeed it could be said that this is a significantly important tarot deck, it is a bold illustration of serious tarot scholarship. One is given the impression while using it that this could have been the pattern for all modern tarot decks had the Golden Dawn and Waite never stepped forward to exercise their current strangle hold over the Anglo American tarot world. Every tarot reader, especially those who are exclusively familiar with the RWS, should at least look at these cards; both to see where tarot has come from and where it might have gone had things been different.
In a sense it is an illustration of the fragility of that which we call tradition. The Etteilla minors, once the corner stone of tarot divination and still popular in Europe, have become almost forgotten in the English-speaking world. Huson and Lo Scarabeo are to be commended for bringing them back to current attention in such an accessible way.
Buy from Amazon. Whenever a new Lo Scarabeo deck comes onto the market, you can always guarantee that it will have an added twist and, given a chance, will always have something which stretches the reader or pulls them in a direction where they might otherwise not have ventured. Paul Huson is the author of Mystical Origins of the Tarot , which can be used to enrich understanding of this deck. However, I do not own the book and for this review have taken only the deck, together with the accompanying LWB, and have therefore not considered the book as indispensible for working with the deck.
I am sure it would be useful and enlightening to read, but as the deck was not published as part of a kit, I thought it better to assess the deck alone.
Very strong colours are used throughout and I have found that this can either attract or repel people. He sees the colours as a nod towards the fact that so often in history, the visionary experience was described in terms of luminous, bejewelled colours and the deck exploits well this sense of the unreality of such vivid colours, jolting us out of our expectations that tarot cards should be somehow dark, muted and thus mysterious.
KIRKUS REVIEW
They can be vivid, jewel-like, vibrant and still retain their mystery. I think this deck is proof of this. However, the card meanings are drawn from Etteilla rather than the Rider Waite-Smith system. If you are looking for a historic-style deck to take the first steps towards understanding the Tarot de Marseilles system, then you may also get frustrated with this deck.
The idea of having scenic pips to facilitate meaning is, of course, Rider Waite-Smith in origin. The iconography and visual style of the deck is Marseilles inspired, whilst the card meanings are Etteilla in origin, especially in the Minors. Accept these and you should be able to make headway with the deck. After the Wheelmobile event in your area has been conducted, we will choose the people we believe will be the best candidates for the show based on their overall performance on stage to take part in a final round of auditions. These final auditions will take place in the Baltimore area within a couple months our last event date.
We will get as many people up to the stage as we can. However, we know there will be many more folks at our Wheelmobile events than we can possibly audition. For this reason, we will reserve some slots in the final auditions for those individuals who attended Wheelmobile events but did not make it up to the stage.
