The Somnambulant Tarot is a unique, surreal, abstract re-imagining of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck.

Tarot is a tool. It is a diagram. It is a portal.

It is a roadmap of reality and a doorway to the inner-psyche. My teacher, Terry Iocuzzo, refers to the tarot as a book without binding, "The Living Tarot." It is a projection of our inner mind and a mirror of the external world.

This deck is 100% hand-drawn and human-made. Each of the cards reflects my personal journey with understanding and connecting with the tarot. The themes, imagery, and concepts of this deck evolved from my daily creative practice and through my study of the tarot. The result is a beautiful collection of visionary artwork that will speak to collectors, practitioners, and students of the tarot.
