The Oracle of Visions

Elendil

Anyone know what the price tag will be? Whether it will only be available from Ciro? I tried to access his website but my computer seems to be playing up.

It will be self-published. I'm sure details will be available as it gets closer to release. It says 60 days.

I am looking forward to this deck, too! I never thought I'd like oracle cards, but I am finding that they have so much to offer.

I like the idea of no keywords or titles on the deck. There are enough visual cues in the cards I have seen at his FB that keywords would just detract.

Yes, that's exactly it! The art stands alone; it is comprised of many layers of imagery and subtle nuance which allows for much leeway in their interpretation by readers. If I may quote the artist himself:

The images are not meant to specifically represent some thing or some archetype, but simply to ask questions of you the reader and to make you ponder what might be going on in these scenes. Facial expressions tend to be deliberately neutral, but the images are sprinkled with symbols that suggest direction and possible conclusions. Hopefully, most cards can be interpreted in vastly different ways: none are overtly "good or bad" but are instead dependent on the question being asked, by whom, by their circumstances and of course in conjunction with other cards that make up any given spread.

I have also tried to make these often abstract or nebulous ideas flexible. Hopefully these surreal images will serve as visual triggers that, when combined with the reader's intuitive gifts and life experience, will provide some compelling readings.
