Unknown Shadows Tarot — A Deck of Unknown Shadows. Nostalgia for Lost Worlds.
Imagine a chest in an attic. Inside—yellowed old photographs, faded letters, broken toys. The artist of this deck did not paint cards—they resurrected ghosts. They created collages from 19th-century photographs, where each image is an aching moan for the past. Not just for the era of crinolines and steamships, but for any your past that has remained in the shadows of memory.
This is not Tarot for predictions. This is Tarot for communicating with phantoms. Phantoms of lost opportunities, other lives that could have been, and paths you never chose. "Unknown Shadows" is a bridge to the land of "What If," built from burnt paper and melancholy.
Key Features and Atmosphere:
-
Archaeology of the Soul Through Collage: Each arcana is an excavation. Faces of strangers pieced together, landscapes from other countries, minute details of everyday life create a surreal yet painfully familiar image of shared memory.
-
Aching Nostalgia Without an Object: This is not mere longing for the 19th century. It is longing for a lost paradise that, perhaps, never even existed. For love you never felt. For a life you never lived. For your past self.
-
Unknown Shadows: The heroes of the cards are nameless. They are shadows from the family album of the universe. They could be your ancestors, your alter-ego, or simply an embodiment of the sorrow that hangs in the air of history.
-
The Feeling of a Familiar Dream: Looking at the cards, a certainty arises: "I have seen this before. I have lived through this before." This is Tarot of karmic echoes and déjà vu, working with the deep layers of memories that are not even your own.
Who is this unique and eerily familiar deck for?
-
For melancholics, poets, and dreamers whose souls live in the past and parallel realities.
-
For those who work with karma, past-life regression, and ancestral memory. The deck will become a powerful guide in the labyrinths of "ancestral memory."
-
For people in a period of life reflection, looking back with the question: "But what if...?"
-
For admirers of vintage aesthetics, surrealism, and psychological gothic.
-
For the brave who are ready to look into the eyes of their "unknown shadows"—the lost versions of themselves, unrealized talents, unspoken words.
What questions does it help resolve?
This deck is the best therapist for a dialogue with ghosts:
-
What do I truly regret? What shadow frightens me from the past?
-
What opportunity did I miss, and can I find its trace today?
-
Is my nostalgia a longing for a real past, or for an illusion?
-
How to make peace with the ghosts of my decisions and let go of the "parallel lives" that never happened?
Unknown Shadows Tarot is the key to the chest in your soul's attic. You can close it and live on. Or open it—and begin a conversation with those you could have become. It is the best assistant for transforming passive nostalgia into active self-understanding.
The deck is new, in the original box. 78 arcana created with an impeccable sense of style and depth using vintage photography and artistic collage technique. Includes a guidebook in the language of shadows and echoes.
