Arcanaless: Ars Occludia

120 Nontraditional Tarot Cards for Intimacy, Communication and Shadow Work

Arcanaless: Ars Occludia is a 120-card tarot expansion created to explore intimacy, communication, relationships, vulnerability, boundaries, connection, desire, conflict, and the complicated ways people relate to one another.

Designed and illustrated by Matthew Pazzol (no AI was used), this collection expands beyond the traditional Major and Minor Arcana with original concepts and archetypes focused on emotional, interpersonal, and psychological experiences.

Add the cards to an existing tarot or oracle deck, use them to expand relationship readings, trade individual cards with other readers, or combine them with cards from multiple sources to create a completely personalized magpie deck.

Explore the Language of Connection

Traditional tarot can reveal a great deal about relationships, but not every intimate or communicative experience has a dedicated card.

Ars Occludia introduces new visual language for exploring subjects such as:

Intimacy and vulnerability

Communication and misunderstanding

Emotional and physical connection

Relationship dynamics

Trust and personal boundaries

Conflict and reconciliation

Desire, avoidance and attachment

Psychological and shadow-work themes

The cards can bring additional nuance to readings about romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, self-knowledge, and the ways we connect—or fail to connect—with others.

Made for Magpie Decks

Magpie decks—also known as Frankendecks, chaos decks, mix-and-match decks, patchwork decks, or eclecdecks—combine cards from different sources to create a reading system shaped around the reader’s individual interests, aesthetics, and intuitive practice.

Ars Occludia gives you 120 distinctive cards to mix, match, trade, curate, and interpret alongside your existing tarot or oracle collection.

Important: This Is a Tarot Expansion
