Dedication MEDICI TAROT® is dedicated to Lorenzo de` Medici (il Magnifico) January 1, 1449 –April 9, 1492, who ignited the Renaissance which ended with his demise. Without Lorenzo, the likes of Botticelli or Michelangelo and other masters of art and architecture may have never been known. Lorenzo de` Medici was a patron of artists who influenced the masters with his keen insight and understanding of art but hasn’t been given due credit for such. Artists who have influenced my art are included in this work. Lorenzo Medici was an intellectual, poet, musician, visionary, art collector, connoisseur of life, politician and business man; but mostly he was a Godsend. —Londa Marks Medici Tarot® collector’s deck is exquisitely designed by bestselling tarot author Londa Marks who has compiled 22 Major Arcana tarot cards; each depicting characters and places from the 14th and 15th Century. Medici Tarot® depicts works by masterful artists of the Italian Renaissance period; many who worked steadily with the Medici family from 1397 when Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici founded the Medici Bank to late 1400s during Italy's High Renaissance ignited by Lorenzo de` Medici, Il Magnifico. Undeniably, Medici Tarot® project was divinely guided. One would think that Il Magnifico was indeed omnipresent and orchestrating another body of artwork; channeling Medici Tarot® through Londa Marks. The pure gold of Medici Tarot® is that it will cause you to analyze your own life journey; where you came from, where you are now and where you want to go. More importantly, it should inspire a call to action. When you hold Medici Tarot® deck in your hands you will feel the power of Medici. Cosimo Medici, Pater Patriae, said, "Those who associate themselves with Medici always do well."
