This deck places the classic 78 tarot cards in a world of darkness and comfort at once. The dark angels in the imagery are not a threat but companions, drawn to surface the deepest feelings of the human heart. Luca Russo illustrated all 78 cards in a compact format that sits comfortably in the hand.
The imagery of winged, shadowed figures suits those who find little resonance in pastel colours and gentle symbolism.

Not every tarot deck reaches for light. The Dark Angels Tarot by Luca Russo works from the opposite direction: dark angels walking a world ravaged by human suffering at the end of time, not to judge, but to bring comfort. That is the image this deck is built on.
The 78 cards follow the classic tarot structure. What changes is the atmosphere. The imagery is intense and shadowed, with winged figures that reflect the weight of human experience rather than softening it.
Russo's illustrations place familiar tarot themes in a dark, dramatic setting. Figures with dark wings dominate the compositions. The mood is heavy and deliberately so. This is not a light or cheerful deck.
The cards measure 66 x 120 mm, slightly more compact than the standard tarot format. That makes them a little easier to handle for people with smaller hands or those who find larger cards unwieldy to shuffle.
Few tarot decks choose comfort as an explicit theme without becoming sentimental. The angels here are not saviours in any traditional sense. They listen. The imagery is built around the idea that the cards surface the deepest secrets of the heart, which is a different approach from a deck that guides you toward answers.
This deck works best when you want a tarot that acknowledges the weight of a situation rather than steering around it.
Luca Russo is the author and illustrator of this deck. No further biographical information is available in the product material.
Does this deck come with a guidebook?
The product information does not mention a guidebook. The set consists of 78 cards. If a guidebook matters to you, check the current product contents before ordering.
How do the card dimensions compare to a standard tarot deck?
The cards measure 66 x 120 mm. That is slightly smaller than the most common standard format of around 70 x 120 mm. The difference is small but noticeable when you hold and shuffle the cards.
