Arcanaless Apocrypha

120 Nontraditional Tarot Cards for Shadow Work and Psychological Exploration

Arcanaless Apocrypha is a collection of 120 original, nontraditional tarot cards created to explore shadow work, psychology, emotion, identity, relationships, internal conflict, and the more complicated corners of the human experience.

Designed and illustrated by Matthew Pazzol, (No AI whatsoever) these cards can be mixed into an existing tarot or oracle deck, used to build a completely personalized magpie deck, traded with other readers, or drawn independently as prompts for reflection and intuitive exploration.

This is not a conventional tarot deck and does not follow the traditional Major and Minor Arcana structure. Instead, it expands the language of tarot with new concepts, archetypes, situations, and psychological themes that may not appear in standard decks.

Made for Magpie Decks

Arcanaless Apocrypha gives you 120 cards to mix, match, trade, curate, and incorporate into a deck that feels entirely your own.
