Ciro Marchetti's newest deck...another stunning work of art...
ORACLE OF VISIONS -
Lenormand style 52 card deck in large 3.75" x 5.5" format, complete with 140 page illustrated booklet
Compared to the Gilded Reverie Deck, this deck is:
a larger size (
3.75” x 5.5”
)
has more cards: 52
and the instruction booklet is nearly three times bigger: 140 pages illustrated
Through lush, Victorian-influenced images, the Oracle of Visions deck offers unique perspectives for
insightful and intuitive readings. Rather than relying on a single theme, this eclectic oracle deck introduces
archetypal figures from many areas of life, including the theater and the carnival. Ciro Marchetti’s imaginative
scenes encourage us to set aside pre-conceived ideas and open ourselves up to new ways of looking at our choices,
decisions, and potential outcomes.
Oracle of Visions set includes 52 cards and 140-page illustrated guidebook.
Following a career in advertising and graphic design, Ciro Marchetti has devoted the last decade of his life to the creation of several divination decks, including the Gilded Reverie Lenormand deck and the Tarot of Dreams. His award-winning digital artwork is popular around the world.
Another beautiful, collectible deck from a master digital artist, Ciro Marchetti
What people are saying about this deck:
Award-winning artist, Ciro Marchetti takes us to a new stage, yet again, with another dazzling and distinctive
deck/book set. The Oracle of Visions is a 52-card, eye-catching oracle deck geared toward the intuitive reader.
Those who have watched the progression of Ciro’s work with his previous decks, but have longed to completely
break free from the Tarot will not be disappointed. The Oracle of Visions, which is filled with rich and deep artwork,
will take your readings to a new standard. The deck will take you to a level that is beyond a system.
Are you ready to leave the safety net behind?
While many oracle decks will follow a reoccurring theme (Angels, flowers, dragons, etc.) throughout the deck, The
Oracle of Visions takes you through 52 stand-alone pieces of art, that not only are unique and visually stunning,
but each image brings its own dialogue to the table. With this deck you will not find a common theme, so to speak,
but instead you will find a vast potpourri of jesters, figures wearing masks, Victorian imagery, nature, mechanical devices and more.
(Yes, I even spotted a couple of Fae).
The Oracle of Visions is a beautiful body of work and would be a treasure for any fan of Ciro Marchetti.
A beginner could easily pick up this deck and find it enlightening. The professional reader would find this deck
a big draw with clientele and would be the perfect addition for collectors.

______________________________________________________________________________________
Successful creator of the Gilded Reverie Lenormand, Ciro Marchetti indulged his personal visual passions in order
to create this energetic and highly imaginative deck.
Having explored traditional tarot imagery to the saturation point, he was looking for a new challenge. He decided to
throw out preexisting formats and create an open-ended oracle deck that would allow individual mindsets to have as much to
do with users’ interpretation as with his intention. The resulting 52-card deck comes alive with fantasy, theatricality,
and a hint of Steampunk.
The 140-page companion book provides Marchetti’s perspective on his images and an account of his personal journey
through the deck. He encourages readers to take his creations into their own hands and glean from the deck what is
best for them.
My favorite cards? I am soothed by the beauty of Card 48 (Choice), drawn into the intensity of Card 8 (Dedication),
stopped cold by the melancholy of Card 15 (Closure), and laughed out loud at the staunch silliness of Card 2 (Assimilation).
This is a deck you will enjoy!

From talented artist Ciro Marchetti, we have another lovely deck that functions as a fascinating oracle of learning.
The journey of learning is highlighted through 52 cards which point a mirror at both our strengths and weaknesses.
I see some of the following categories of life lessons throughout these cards: self-awareness, relationships,
wise decision making, desires, compulsions, creativity and nurturing. Doubtless there are more themes that could be listed,
and short of providing the titles and interpretations found in the book, there are sufficient images and meanings
to cast our questions before the oracle.
I see, in my mind, artwork that I might call fantasy, and which the artist labels retrotech.
Regardless of designations, the images are immediately absorbing, taking us into another world while simultaneously
connecting us to self-reflective emotions. In other words, every card is a tableau which triggers our levels of consciousness
and engages our projective identification. For example, in Card 33, (titled “Patience; Waiting for the Right Moment”),
my eye can wander to each element in turn—in this situation, for the particular issue or question—and ask…am I the waiting
person, or am I the kingfisher, or am I the fish below, or do I rather relate to the background flowering tree? The amazing
art in each scene, each card, presents to us almost as a dream, challenging us to interpret in part, or with a spread of our choice.
The author addresses interpretations and card combinations, although no particular spreads are suggested, in this very complete
but modestly sized 140 page book--thus stepping back from overseeing our understanding of the Oracle of Visions. I played with
single card draws for varying issues, and I also did a few three card past/present/future layouts, and the cards chosen held
significance for my concerns. The cards are the same two dimensions as found in the book, with rounded corners and an ornately
designed card back with a smiling and dark-eyed mask in the center. Cards and book are at home in a sturdy box.
I recommend the Oracle of Visions for a well-designed alternative to the standard tarot, with rich images and abundant
visual metaphors wandering through this enjoyable set of cards.
