Persona Obscura is an invitation to a midnight masquerade of the soul. Inspired by Venetian decadence and gothic romance, this deck asks one dangerous question: what truth lives behind the mask?
It follows the classic Rider–Waite system, but every archetype has been reframed with dramatic, hand-drawn realism — mature, moody, and deeply human. This isn’t just a deck for “future-telling.” It’s a deck for seeing yourself clearly.
What you get
78 cards (full Rider–Waite system)
Printed guidebook (included)
Ultra-thick 400gsm anti-scratch matte cardstock
Gold gilded edges (premium metallic block when stacked)
Heavy embossed collector’s box with foil details (“Velvet & Gold” feel)
Most decks stay on the surface. This one goes underneath.
A lot of tarot decks are pretty — but emotionally shallow. Persona Obscura is built for people who want readings that cut deeper: identity, patterns, motives, hidden drives, the roles you play, and the truth you avoid.
It’s better because:
Psychological depth: designed for shadow work, self-awareness, and reading the “why” behind the situation — not just the event.
Dark Luxury clarity: high contrast matte black + ceremonial gold makes the deck feel serious, cinematic, and intentional.
Collector-level construction:400gsm isn’t a marketing word here — it’s weight you feel immediately.
Built to stay pristine: the anti-scratch matte coating helps protect from shuffle marks and wear so it keeps that “new deck” look.
Buy it if you want:
A deck that explores identity, masks, and hidden motives
A premium object that feels like Velvet & Gold in your hands
A classic system (Rider–Waite) with a darker, more adult emotional language
A deck that’s designed to last — thick, smooth, durable, and addictive to shuffle
One line to remember: The mask tells us more than the face ever could.
Collectors buy it for the build. Readers keep it for the depth.
We intentionally avoid mass production. Each deck is printed in small runs of around 500 copies, with reprints occurring only in rare cases.
We never compromise on materials: premium cardstock, advanced coatings, foil details, finished edges, and full guidebooks are standard for us.
