The Somnia Tarot: Oracle Series, a Photographic Oracle Deck by Nicolas Bruno

The Somnia Tarot: Oracle Series is a 74-card photographic oracle deck by Nicolas Bruno, the companion to his Somnia Tarot, stepping beyond the traditional tarot into the archetypes of our dreams and nightmares.

Where the tarot keeps to the familiar path of the Major and Minor Arcana, the Oracle Series is free to wander. Its 74 ethereal photographs are curated to help you travel through the world of dreams and shadow work. Each one is there to invite self-reflection, quiet courage and a little honesty with yourself.

Like the tarot before it, every card is a staged scene rather than a drawing: figures shrouded in fabric, a candlelit golden throne, a piano standing in the tide, a writing desk half buried in sand. Cards such as The Ancestor, The Catharsis and The Guide carry their names in gold along the foot of the image, so each reading begins with a word as well as a picture.

The deck is made for journalling as much as for reading. Draw a card, sit with the scene and write about what it stirs in you. Over time it becomes a conversation with the parts of yourself that only speak at the edge of sleep.

It also sits beautifully beside The Somnia Tarot: Revised Edition. Nicolas designed the two decks to work together, so you can bring oracle cards into your tarot readings for an experience that is entirely your own.

What's Included

  • 74 full-bleed 400gsm cards in standard tarot size with gold gilded edges, foil-stamped details and a smooth matte finish.
  • A luxurious plum coloured collection box with gilding, a matte linen finish and a magnetic folding lid.
  • A printed booklet with the stories and meanings behind each card, along with an authenticity card and a bonus Pendulum Board card.
  • Hidden authenticity and anti-counterfeit measures embedded into each deck.

Who created the Somnia Oracle Series?

Nicolas Bruno, the surrealist photographer behind The Somnia Tarot. His work grows from years of living with sleep paralysis and the dream journals he kept through it.

How many cards are in the Somnia Oracle Series?

74 cards, each one a photograph. As an oracle deck it does not follow the 78-card tarot structure of Major and Minor Arcana, which leaves it free to explore the archetypes of dreams and nightmares.

Is the Somnia Oracle Series a tarot deck or an oracle deck?

It is an oracle deck. It carries the Somnia Tarot name because it was made as the companion to Nicolas Bruno's tarot. It can be used on its own or alongside it.

Can I use it with The Somnia Tarot?

Yes. Nicolas Bruno designed the Oracle Series to work with The Somnia Tarot: Revised Edition, so oracle cards can be drawn alongside a tarot reading.

Is the artwork photographic or illustrated?

Photographic. Every card is a staged scene built with costume, fabric, props and natural settings, then photographed, rather than drawn or painted.

What is included with the Somnia Oracle Series?

74 full-bleed 400gsm cards with gold gilded edges, foil-stamped details and a smooth matte finish, a plum collection box with a matte linen finish and magnetic folding lid, a printed booklet, an authenticity card and a bonus Pendulum Board card.

What is the Somnia Oracle Series best used for?

Dream work, shadow work, self-reflection and journalling. Each card is designed to prompt reflection and to help you explore your shadow through art and writing.

Does The Guilded Veil ship the Somnia Oracle Series within the UK?

Yes. We ship it from the UK by Royal Mail, so there are no import fees or long waits from overseas sellers.
