About This Deck
The Somnia Oracle Series & Tarot Decks represent a collection of photographic divination tools created by artist Nicolas Bruno. These decks delve into the subconscious realms of dreams, nightmares, and shadow work, utilizing Bruno's distinctive surrealist photography style. The campaign features a "Revised Edition" of The Somnia Tarot and an "Oracle Series" deck, suggesting a cohesive artistic vision across different divination systems.
Bruno's work is characterized by its evocative, dreamlike quality, often featuring figures draped in flowing fabrics, obscuring their identities, set against stark or ethereal natural backdrops. This approach is particularly suited to the exploration of inner landscapes and psychological themes, making the decks ideal for introspective practices like shadow work. The use of photography lends a tangible, yet otherworldly, quality to the imagery, inviting deep contemplation.
Successfully funded on Kickstarter with significant backing, these decks cater to those seeking a visually unique and thematically profound tool for self-exploration. The combination of a revised tarot and an oracle series offers versatility for different reading styles, from structured tarot interpretations to more free-form oracle guidance, all unified by Bruno's signature aesthetic.
