📝 Description: White Numen: A Sacred Animal Tarot Deck: A 78-Card Tarot Deck with Guidebook (Co-Edition)

A beautifully illustrated and stunningly original tarot deck by Alba Ballesta González. Inspired by ancient rituals and stories of sacred animal spirits, the White Numen forms a path to human reconnection with the natural world and spiritual realm. This uniquely beautiful tarot deck features sacred animal spirits ('Numen') interwoven into the classical imagery of the tarot to create cards that are both otherworldly and contemporary, with a fantasy style inspired by the likes of comic master Moebius. Most of the illustrations feature powerful women, including Death, draped in a black cloak, carrying her banner, and riding a white horse; the Queen of Pentacles, seated gracefully amid soft greenery; and the Sun striding across a desert-like landscape. Includes complete 78-card tarot deck with guidebook.

Occult literature desk
White Numen stands out for its bold artistic direction, successfully merging ancient animism with modern esoteric practice through stunning visuals. The inclusion of a comprehensive guidebook ensures accessibility for newcomers to this specific stylistic approach. However, collectors preferring traditional Rider-Waite-Smith iconography or readers uncomfortable with highly stylized, fantasy-heavy interpretations may find the departure from convention disorienting. The deck’s strong emphasis on 'Numen' and animal spirits creates a niche appeal that might not resonate with those seeking historical continuity over aesthetic innovation.

A friend in my study group recommended this one. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Every rereading turns up something I missed.

Excellent find

Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
