I wrote Nicolas Bruno to find out why he chose a masonic compass for the back of the Somnia Tarot here is what he said:
Hey Benny,
Thank you so much for supporting my artwork and taking the time to send me this kind message. Regarding the back of the cards: I use the compass as a motif for the exploration of the realm between the conscious and subconscious. In sleep paralysis, your mind becomes trapped in this state of purgatory. Through each dream experience, I metaphorically navigate this uncharted world and attempt to bring glimpses of it to the surface via my artwork. I have found masonic symbolism as a great inspiration for conveying complex ideas through simple means, which has heavily impacted the way that I compose my images. This interest has also brought me into the world of antique emblems, which also use a similar method of using symbolism to express powerful messages. The compass appeared as the perfect symbol for the back of The Somnia Tarot, where each tarot user can use this navigation tool to explore their own subconscious. Hopefully this helps!
Best,
Nicolas Bruno

I totally agree about the Lubanko. Those two cards make me uncomfortable as well. But wow, what a stunning deck!

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

I think the purpose of those two cards is to make one look within and see why it bothers us. Very shadowie.

I love your choices and I plan on purchasing some of them. I’m going to order the Fyodor Pavlov today. Also the Medicine Flower Oracle. My favorite “beautiful deck” in my collection is Tarot of Mystical Moments…so far! And I’m in love with decks that have gilded edges!

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

Your going to love looking at the Fyodor Pavlov deck. The colors he uses I don’t think I’ve seen in another deck, which makes it stand out even more. The Medicine Flower Oracle is just so darn beautiful. I’d love to hear what you think of them when you have them. Thanks for watching. 😊

Enjoyed the video! Great take on beautiful decks. I wish some of them were still in print. In the future perhaps you can list the decks with links to where to buy? Thanks!

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

Thank you. I just started adding links with my latest video. I realized I should when I looked for a link in someone else’s video. Thanks for the reminder. 😊

[@vadal4043]

Wow the same thing happened with me on the Lubanko for the exact same two cards! But the remainder of the deck is so good I decided finally to get the deck and hope those 2 cards don't come up much!! Ha~ Agree the Elizabeth on Earth is also well done! Nice video!

[@thefoolsapprentice]

Thank you for your comment. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that originally passed up the deck over two cards and ended up buying it.

[@NigelSaintJames]

Great video. Somnia is a Beauty. Thanks for the upload !

[@khan7459]

Somnia fan here too!

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

I’m so glad someone else thinks it’s “beautiful.” I was wondering if I was going to be alone with this deck. Thanks for watching. 😊

[@tommylynch790]

I love flowers, and before I ventured into Tarot, I started with Oracle decks. My first Oracle decks were... you guess it; floral decks. So, my favorite out of your selection is the Flower Medicine Oracle Deck, I love her artistic style and my second favorite is Sacred Destiny. Although, I don't usually like white borders but with this deck, the white borders gives depth to the art work and draws me into the picture. If only we could all live in a world of peace, surrounded by beautiful nature.

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

Flower decks are my jam! I cans do plant and flower decks because I don’t know plants at all, but flowers are just so darn beautiful. Thanks for watching. 😊

[@Philosophy28369]

The botan tarot 😍 I'm jelly. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

They are out there. She posted that she has a timeline for a second printing so subscribe to her newsletter. Thanks sfo 😊watching.

[@magickbreath]

it was againg a nice video, OMG i think that into the lonely woods and the somnia tarot can work together. Please give me feedback if you tried them out :)

[@JyndasaSkysinger]

I love the Somnia Tarot. I trimmed mine. It's borderless except for the titles at the bottom. Beautiful!

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

Ohhhh, I’ll have to scour KZbin to see if anyone else has done this. I want to see what it looks like. Thanks for watching. 😊

[@karensorrentino9498]

All beautiful decks! I dis some great soul searching/shadow work with Into the Lonely Woods.

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

That deck would be perfect for shadow work! I use it as a comforting deck; a way to be kind to myself. Thanks for watching. 😊

[@s.l.wymansrockinwriting6633]

Sad face. I love sunflowers, though they are not my faves. Lovely choices for this tag! The Botan Tarot is even more amazing with the indigo border. Was lucky enough to snag that version.

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

I know, the indigo border is so beautiful. She is having another printing of the deck so I hope to snag a indigo one.

[@tommylynch790]

I’m trying to find the Elizabeth on earth deck ,

[@thefoolsapprentice]

It’s a great deck. Here is the link to her Etsy shop. www.etsy.com/listing/934753571/

[@1976mcfarlane]

Does the guy that made the somnia Tarot explain why he chose the masonic compass for the backs?

[@BennyTheFoolsApprentice]

I was not able to find any information on the internet or in the guidebook. So, I emailed him at his website. I’ll let you know what he says if he responds. Good question!😊

[@1976mcfarlane]

@@BennyTheFoolsApprentice thank you so much for reaching out to him! I have always wondered about that and I'm eager to hear what sparked that choice for him. I'll probably get that deck this winter.. I got a few that are higher up on my want list. Lol

Dear The Fool's Apprentice, I have seen your KZbin channel, your content is very good, the thing is that your KZbin channel does not have a high rank tag in the tag section area, I think you need to do SEO, as a result of which there are not enough views. If you want, I can increase your channel growth by doing SEO on your KZbin channel. Sincerely, ROHAN.
