Italian illustrator Cristina Benintende built this deck around a single idea: twilight as the threshold between light and dark, reason and instinct. The figures on the cards are human and vulnerable, set in dreamlike scenes that sit somewhere between surrealism and emotional honesty.
The cards measure 66 x 120 mm, a size that handles comfortably when shuffling.

Twilight is not an ending. It is the moment when light and dark hold equal weight, and that balance runs through every card in this deck. Tarot of the Sweet Twilight was illustrated by Italian artist Cristina Benintende and published by Lo Scarabeo.
The imagery is surrealist: scenes that resist logic, figures that exist somewhere between dream and waking life. At the same time, there is a real emotional directness to the work. The characters are vulnerable, human, sometimes melancholic. That sets this deck apart from decks that prioritise symbolic clarity or brightness.
Benintende works with a rich colour palette and dreamlike compositions. The 78 cards follow the classical tarot structure across Major and Minor Arcana, but the execution is personal and distinctive. Familiar symbolism is present, embedded in scenes that invite interpretation rather than deliver it.
The figures rarely strike heroic poses. They stand still, look away, hold something close. That pulls the reading toward feeling rather than analysis.
The deck comes with a compact multilingual guidebook in English, Spanish, French, Italian and German. It covers keywords and the core meaning of each card, but does not include detailed spreads or step-by-step instructions. There is plenty of room for personal interpretation.
The cards measure 66 x 120 mm, printed on sturdy cardstock with a matte finish. That size sits well in the hand when shuffling.
When drawing a daily card, take a moment with the image before reaching for the guidebook. Benintende's illustrations often say something before you have read a single word.
