The Viri Tarot

The Viri Tarot gives cartomancy a queer beefcake glow-up. This one of a kind deck reimagines the traditional Rider-Waite as a collection of timeless male-centric archetypes using vintage beefcake pinup photography from the 1950s and 60s.

An Arca Noctis exclusive, the Viri Tarot channels the animus energy of the male figure into something uniquely erotic and (somehow) charmingly naïve. Featuring posing-strap-clad Adonises from decades past, this full-sized deck reinterprets many of the gender-specific major arcana figures (the High Priestess morphs into the imposing Cardinal). It’s the perfect deck for lovers of male erotica, LGBTQIA+ history and vintage photography. Each Viri Tarot is professionally printed on FSC-certified, professional S30 card stock with blue core and smooth finish. The deck comes in a drawstring velvet bag for easy travel and safe storage.

The Tarot

Playing cards first migrated from Egypt and the Far East to Europe in the late 1300s. Decks intended specifically for divination appeared in various parts of Italy nearly 50 years later. These Tarot decks, from the Italian tarocchi, started with the four traditional suits but added a new twist — a series of cards with religious images. The new cards, called carte da trionfi or triumph cards, depicted allegorical scenes such as death, revelation and the sun. Over the next several hundred years, different decks were hand crafted around Europe, each featuring a different assortment of cards.
