Meet the Team: The Heart of Obscura Sancta
Michael, The Man Behind Your Creations
At the heart of Obscura Sancta is Michael, a passionate artisan and an adventurer at heart. Drawn since always to what lies beyond the ordinary : ancient objects steeped in history, forgotten materials, symbols of the sacred as well as of the wild. He roams the mountains and remote paths of France and beyond, patiently and humbly collecting the materials that will become the foundation of his creations: age-veined wood, bones whitened by time, crystals emerging from the rock. Each element is chosen with care, a bearer of memory, before being assembled in the workshop that he inhabits as much as he shapes.
Michael is a seeker of mysteries. He loves uncovering rare objects in a village flea market just as much as wandering for hours through the forest in search of a branch sculpted by nature itself. The ancient objects he recovers—weathered crucifixes, forgotten vials, relics from another time—are meticulously revalued, cleaned, and reworked. This work of rehabilitation, often invisible, requires time, skill, and a profound attentiveness to the soul of things. It is not merely about reusing them, but about honoring them by revealing their original beauty.
His deep knowledge of esotericism, nurtured over many years, guides each of his gestures. Every artifact he designs is conceived as a talisman, a bridge between worlds, an invitation to the sensitive and the unseen.
A complete artisan, Michael also oversees the shipments. Once an object is chosen, he wraps it with the same care devoted to its making. For him, the journey does not end with creation—it continues all the way to you. And it is precisely this connection that he cherishes most: the intimate transmission, hand to hand, of a unique piece born from a moment of exception.
Aurélie, The Woman Behind the Screen
Aurélie is the voice of Obscura Sancta when you cross our digital threshold. She is the discreet yet essential presence that brings our universe to life beyond the workshop. A digital professional, she ensures the smooth running of the website, animates social media, writes content, and responds with genuine attentiveness and care. Her technical expertise blends seamlessly with an artistic sensitivity, nurtured by a lifelong passion for ancient objects, sacred symbols, and the mysteries of the unseen.
Always fascinated by antiquities and esotericism, Aurélie shares with Michael the same vision: a world where beauty hides within imperfection, within the traces of time, within the hidden meaning of things. It is from this alchemy of their perspectives that Obscura Sancta was born—a project where no object is ever ordinary, but always carries a story, an energy, or a memory.
Aurélie is the storyteller. She is the one who reveals, through each product description, the uniqueness of a weathered crucifix, an ancient vial, or a hand-crafted chest. She chooses each word with care, ensuring that the emotional resonance of the object reaches you fully—even through a screen. For here, nothing is left to chance: each creation is unique, and deserves to be understood, felt, and recognized.
Behind the scenes, she also manages order processing, handles custom requests, and ensures everything is ready for Michael to finalize the shipment. Thanks to her, the magic begins from your very first visit and continues long after your parcel arrives—shaping an experience that is seamless, heartfelt, and true to what you seek with us: the exceptional.
A Complementary Alliance in the Service of the Unique
Michael and Aurélie embody two essential forces of Obscura Sancta: matter and word, creation and transmission. Where one sets out in search of forgotten treasures and transforms them into meaningful artifacts, the other gives these objects a voice, bringing them to life in the digital realm and ensuring that every detail reaches you with precision.
Their bond is the foundation of this journey. They exchange ideas, inspirations, discoveries. Together, they travel in search of new pieces, combining their skills to offer only the very best. If Michael breathes life into matter, Aurélie clothes it in stories, images, and human connection.
Together, they safeguard the artisanal soul of Obscura Sancta while making it accessible to those who feel the call of the mystical, the beautiful, and the singular. This harmonious duality between the visible and the invisible, between craft and word, is what gives their work its depth and richness.
