1JJ Swiss Tarot

The 1JJ Swiss Tarot has a rich lineage tracing back through the Tarot de Besançon to the Tarot of Marseilles. What sets it apart is the substitution of Juno and Jupiter for the Popess and Pope cards, a change that helped the deck navigate the religious sensitivities of the era and made it popular among card players in eastern France, Switzerland, and parts of Germany. The original version was produced at Johann Georg Rauch's factory sometime between 1831 and 1838, and its unexpected popularity in the American market kept it in continuous production under Johannes Müller in Diessenhofen until 1860.

In 1965, AGMüller issued a freshened version with cleaner lines and gave it the name 1JJ Swiss Tarot — the "1" marking its place in the product catalog, and "JJ" referring to the two replaced trump figures. This latest edition is printed in Belgium by AGM. It follows the classic Marseilles structure with 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana in the traditional suits of Swords, Staves, Cups, and Coins, all bearing English titles. A 10-page guidebook covers the Major Arcana meanings and walks readers through a Celtic Cross spread.
