A fantastic oracle deck based on angels of the Kabbalah, the Tree of Life, Watchers, Seraphins, and more. The sense of being at the presence of something distinctly human, but ultimately mysterious is at the core of Angelarium.
The companion booklets for most Lo Scarabeo decks are in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

This deck is just exquisite. I love the influence of Old Testament angels on Mohrbacher’s art (I would love to buy some Angelarium prints in the future).
I like to use this for daily pulls because the images and key words work great as meditation prompts. The guidebook descriptions are sparse but fit well with the theme of each card. I’ve found that this deck doesn’t work so well when used as a supplement to a tarot reading.
The only thing I don’t love is the glossy cardstock. I think a matte finish would better complement the art style, but it is a stunning deck nonetheless.

Worried? Stressed? Perplexed? This deck will definitely pull you into another realm since it is both beautiful and mysterious. My sole complaint is that Metatron is not included in with the other angels. But that is just personal preference. It won’t matter to many who want to use this mystical deck, which is absolutely perfect for meditation or pathworking.
For those who might wonder how they could use it to read for clients, I have a simple method that does not require any deeper knowledge of Kabbalah other than what is described in the Angelarium: Oracle of Emanations book. However, it does requires that you use an accompanying angel oracle deck that is lighter in theme compared to this deck.
DARK DECK Angelarium No question from the client 2 card spread–Pull one from the Tree of Life and one from among the Angels Reading provides insight on where the individual is on the Tree and which Angel is most nearby, ready to be called upon to assist with this particular area of growth. Gifted readers may see some special way in which that particular Angel can be of service, and/or may write down the name of the Angel for the inquirer to take home and reflect on how this particular Angel’s talents might be helpful.
LIGHT DECK Other Angel type deck containing simple messages Client asks a specific question Uses various 3-9 card spreads relating to the question Reading provides a specific message from Angel on the situation.
Read each deck separately then compare/contrast the two readings. See for yourself if this method offers the client an enriching experience. Enjoy in awe!

This card deck is very interesting. It’s got good artwork and I feel the overall quality is very good. The guidebook is really good also. This deck was definitely outside of my normal purchase range. It is a bit dark and definitely mysterious but once you use the deck for a bit it is very insightful. If you don’t know Kabbalah your reading could need a lot of research to get a very detailed and more intricate reading depending on the layout you use.

I absolutely love this deck. The artwork is out of this world. I resonated deeply with one of them- Da’at- and just needed to have this deck.
One thing I had not noticed before was that this used the tree of life. I use the Thoth tarot, so this fits in wonderfully with that system and has really given some extra insights when used together.
I included an image of the back of the cards alongside the back of a card from the Wisdom of the Oracle deck to give a sense of how big the cards are- I know many are familiar with that Oracle deck. (I feel like this is sort of a “normal” size that oracle decks tend to come in.) It’s always nice to know the size of the cards you’re buying, right?!
The card stock is a little thin and flimsy but it’s not bad. I’d say it’s decent enough.
The image quality is good, although I feel they could be more vibrant- hence the 4 and not 5 stars. But, again, it’s decent enough.
All in all, I love it and highly recommend this deck!

Oh gosh these are divine, literally. The illustrations are truly magical, a little deep and mysterious which is what I’d hoped for and I think I’m going to enjoy using them. Card is ok though I imagine some people might prefer it to be a little thicker, I’m always careful with my decks so this isn’t a huge issue for me. They have a nice glossy finish which allows them to move easily, the back design is equally lovely which I always think is important. I love them.

A arte é realmente bem feita e de bom gosto. Não apenas são bonitas e atraentes, também de fato ajuda no processo de interpretação. Entendo que muitos acham as descrições das cartas bastante vagas e, à primeira vista, realmente parecem ser. Porém, para mim pelo menos, as mensagens vêm quando as interpreto intuitivamente. Racionalmente é mais difícil. Apenas leia a descrição e confie que as respostas virão. Elas realmente vêm.

Son excelentes para complementar lecturas donde haya un conocimiento previo cabalístico. El tamaño es ideal para su manipulación y ayuda a tener un conocimiento más completo del árbol de sefirot.

The artwork is great and the card quality is very nice and durable feeling. The book also feels quite durable. The descriptions with each of the cards is a little tricky to understand so i reccomend using a highlighter to draw attention to the key points. Its a good deck to use intuitively if you feel like the descriptions dont resonate. This is used slightly diffrently than a normal oracle deck. Ill try to explain my understanding of it as simply as possible, The basis is the kabbalah tree of life and there are 11 cards for the emanations. The emanations are represented as circles/orbs. If you look at a simplified diagram of the tree of life youll only see 10. The 10 emanations flow through Da’at since its a void and not technically an emanation but it is concidered one for this deck. The emanations are the embodiments of god, existence, and human ties like the world and material matters that we can perceive. There are bridges that connect the emanations and the bridges are called ley lines. The angels each stand on a ley line and the ley lines represent the relationship between the emanation or the requirements to go from one sphere to another.

I have both Angelarium decks and I really enjoyed working with the Oracle of the Fallen so I purchased this one. I don’t love the book but I know Lo Scarabeo puts multiple languages in their books so it was no surprise to me to see the lack of description in comparison to the Fallen deck. But having said that I understand why they do it and think it’s great they are inclusive. They just should make the book a little bigger IMO. Outside of that the deck is fantastic. The images by Peter Mohrbacher are really breathtaking. The deck itself does not disappoint and still deserves 5 stars. Eli Minaya did a great job with the descriptions considering the amount of text he was alloted to include in the book. I could not recommend this enough.

I don’t really buy into tarot or Kabbalah, but I’ve been following Mohrbacher’s art for years, and this is a great and affordable way to get your hands on some of it in person.
Comes with 33 large cards, each printed with a great quality piece with a uniform gloss finish. Cardstock is a bit thinner than I was expecting, but is still sturdy and flexible. Note that a few of the cards were stuck together out of the box, so if you think you’re short on cards make sure they’re all separated.
The included booklet gives more info on each card as well as some games you can play with them. It comes in 5 languages, so the actual content is slim. The box that encloses the cards and booklet is sturdy, with a pretty cover and a similar glossy sheen.
