CBD Tarot de Marseille
The CBD Tarot de Marseille is a painstaking restoration of the influential 1760 Nicholas Conver deck, undertaken by Yoav Ben-Dov over three and a half years. The original woodblock lines were redrawn using a slow, organic process to preserve the non-uniform texture that gives the old print style its character, and the coloring references one of the earliest known Conver editions held at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
Rather than correcting the peculiarities of the historical source, Ben-Dov kept many of its irregularities intact, treating them as intentional — a kind of built-in unpredictability that keeps the cards feeling alive. This 79-card deck includes a blank carte blanche card alongside a 56-page booklet with reading suggestions for both upright and reversed positions. It was voted one of the Top 50 Essential Tarot Decks by the Tarot Association community, the only Marseilles deck on that list.
Sobre el Creador
Yoav Ben-Dov was born in 1957 in Tel Aviv and spent part of his childhood in Ethiopia. He studied physics and philosophy of science in Tel Aviv and completed his doctorate at Paris-13 University on the philosophy of quantum mechanics, going on to lecture for 18 years at universities including Tel Aviv. He authored the first tarot book published in Hebrew in 1981, and studied tarot and psychomagic with Alejandro Jodorowsky in Paris in the mid-1980s before undertaking the CBD restoration project between 2008 and 2010.
