Background and imagery

Michele Penco's illustrations breathe the atmosphere of ancient grimoires, secret societies and forbidden knowledge. With pale gray and greenish tones he creates a world that feels alienating and fascinating at the same time. The cards show characters in trance, hidden portals, magical symbols and visions from other worlds. In non-English editions the deck is often referred to as "Tarot Necronomicon", which makes the link with esoteric horror even stronger.

how the deck comes to life in readings

This deck is ideally suited for deep inner shadow working, spiritual research and storytelling. The images stimulate the subconscious and bring fears, dreams and old patterns to the surface.

The included multilingual booklet makes it accessible to an international audience.
