Sefirot: The Spheres of Heaven

Liminal 11, the studio that published the Modern Witch and Cosmic Slumber decks, took its most ambitious esoteric swing with Sefirot in 2023: eighty cards fusing Kabbalah's Tree of Life with art nouveau line and comic-style clarity, authored by Georg Hobmeier and James Patton with illustration by Eliot Baum and Viv Tanner. The four-name credit block signals the method, a designed system built by a team, closer to how games and graphic novels are made than how solitary deck artists work. Kabbalah in cards usually means correspondence tables stamped onto standard structure; Sefirot instead lets the spheres shape the deck itself, the eighty-card count included, which makes it a fresh system to learn rather than a skin over a familiar one. The nouveau-comic hybrid keeps the esoterica welcoming. It suits readers curious about Kabbalah who found the mystery-school decks forbidding, Liminal 11 collectors, team-design appreciators, and system-learners who enjoy a new map. Tree-of-Life traditionalists should expect interpretation, not orthodoxy.
