This deck moves away from the soft, gentle angel imagery common in new-age traditions. The Seraphim are depicted here as powerful guardians of light and transformation, rendered in clean lines, generous white space and golden geometric circles. The accompanying guidebook doubles as a reflection journal, with focused writing prompts and space for personal notes at every card.
The box opens from the centre like double doors, with tactile wings and geometric circles embossed on the exterior.
Angel cards carry a reputation: soft, warm, reassuring. The Seraphim Tarot starts from a different place. In mystical and classical writings, the Seraphim are the highest order of angels, fierce guardians of divine law and pure light, not gentle whisperers. That distinction shows in the cards.
The deck was designed by Maneo Playing Cards, an independent design studio based in Nice, led by Kristine Agirbova. It contains 78 cards and follows the Rider-Waite Smith system, with 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. The familiar archetypes remain intact, but stripped of historical clutter.
The illustrations use generous white space, soft lines and golden geometric circles. Wing structures and light forms dominate. The overall mood is quiet and composed, not overcrowded. Compared to a standard RWS deck, the imagery gives you room to think.
The card edges carry metallic silver foil, and the backs feature gold foil detailing. The card stock is 350 g/m² with a linen finish and matte surface. The cards feel solid in the hand.
The packaging is built as a box-in-box construction with a magnetic double gatefold that opens from the centre. The exterior has a soft matte finish, gold foil accents and embossed wings and geometric circles you can feel with your fingertips. This is a box designed to stay on a shelf, not end up in a drawer.
The included book goes beyond a list of card meanings. Every card comes with focused writing prompts and open space for personal notes. You can write down what came up during a reading, which images stayed with you, what you dreamed. That makes it a tool for shadow work and daily reflection, not just a reference.
This is not a guidebook you set aside after a few weeks. The personal notes section grows alongside your practice.
Pull one card each morning, answer its writing prompt, and look back after a month. The structure of the guidebook naturally supports that kind of rhythm.
Kristine Agirbova leads Maneo Playing Cards, an independent design studio based in Nice. The Seraphim Tarot was built with a specific intention: to bridge sober structure and deep intuitive mysticism. Choosing the Seraphim as a starting point, the angelic order described in mystical and classical texts, was a deliberate conceptual decision, not a decorative one.
Does this deck work if I already know the Rider-Waite Smith system?
Yes. The 78 cards follow the classic RWS structure, with the same Major and Minor Arcana. The imagery is different, quieter and more focused on angelic symbolism, but the underlying framework is familiar.
Is the guidebook just a list of card meanings, or is there more to it?
There is more. Every card includes focused writing prompts and blank space for personal notes. The book functions both as a reference and as a reflection journal that you fill in yourself over time.
