Memento Mori – “Remember your mortality”

Stemming from the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality, it has been a ubiquitous part of human culture for centuries. From the philosophical to the artistic, the fascination, fear and appreciation of death has consistently captivated and cultivated our imagination. Many practitioners of this theory kept with them, artifacts or keepsakes which served as a reminder that the only thing certain in life, was death. Many of these items were often objects (watches, necklaces) in the shape of skulls.

The low-poly design represents a simplistic one. The bare “bones” of 3D creation and graphic art, the first steps of animation can be interpreted as the beginning of ‘virtual’ life.

Many historians believe that playing cards represented a deeper, esoteric meaning, that each suit was one of the four seasons. Each card within a suit was one of the thirteen phases of the moon. The fifty-two cards in a deck would represent the fifty-two weeks of the year and together, this would represent just one year of your life.

A constant reminder of our fleeting time on earth.

    These cards are amazing! The handling and performance of these cards is beautiful, they are very thin which makes them perfect for magic, flourishes, and cardistry. The design is AMAZING, both on the faces and on the backs, as well as the tuck case. I have purchased many luxury decks but these are my absolute favorite. INCREDIBLE price for a deck this good.

  2. Josh Soderborg

    I love these cards, they feel and handle great. The design is amazing and look great. Works for both magic and cardistry.

  3. Donnie King

    I’ve wanted the memento mori cards for about 3 years and finally bit the bullet. Not sure why I waited so long because they’re pretty much a dream come true! They’re great quality and the design is gorgeous, plus there’s a surprise card with a bit of writing on it. All in all, amazing!
