Have you ever woken up feeling like there is a word, at the tip of your tongue, in a language you don't quite understand?
Have you ever woken up feeling like there is a word, on the tip of your tongue, in a language you don't quite understand?
It's the same feeling you may have felt when a dream has left too quickly once you woke up, like a regretful lover. You grasped and reached but it was gone and you have forgotten something so fundamentally important that your stomach has caved into itself.

This deck of oracle cards invites you to go back into that cave, that pit, to the start of that word. Tarot and oracle cards are always tools for self-exploration, but the Oracolotto will guide you to explore deeper, into the subconscious realm of your dreams.
This deck of oracle cards invites you to go back into that cave, that pit. Back to the start of that word. Tarot and oracle cards are always tools for self-exploration, but the Oracolotto invites you to travel deep into the subconscious realm of your dreams.
Oracolotto includes twenty-one cards and one guidebook. The cards follow the paved journey of Tarot's major arcana, but do not be fooled by the numbers, as they will not give you insight into the path. You do not need any previous knowledge to use these cards, only the ability to dream and a soul, yours or other.

The Oracolotto cards present illustrations of collective dream archetypes, as delineated by Neapolitan tradition. While the cards symbolically follow the traditional Tarot journey from the fool to the world(minus the Emperor), they are based on the Neapolitan art form of the Smorfia, intended not as the grimace but the dream interpretation method.

The Smorfia is an ancient art form in which symbols and archetypes from a person's dreams are analysed and converted into numbers. To use the Smorfia, one would thus recall every event, person and object that appeared in their dream, and then use the extensive list of dream archetypes to find the associated numbers. This may be used to find out the meaning of your dreams or, most commonly, to find numbers to play the lottery (Ricciardone, 1987; Zezza, 1835).

In this case however, the archetypes were used as a story telling device, an exploration tool for imagination and self-discovery. You may chose to use these cards in the two ways I have imagined, or create your own.

1. The first, and the one I recommend, asks your soul to sit with the cards, ask them a question, read the answer in the following pages and find a language for new or old feelings.
2. The other way I have imagined requires you to keep the deck next to your bed, or wherever you sleep. Once you wake up, while the dream is still supple and alive, reach for the Oracolotto and try and find the cards that resemble the dream most closely. This way you may give a language to the unformed and find on the cards apparent truths.

There is a possibility, that you have read thus far because you wish to remember your dreams and connect to your subconscious, but feel like you cannot. You may almost never recall your dreams or think that they are random. If this is your case, I recommend that you use the Oracolotto in the first way I have described, as the subconscious seeps into our daily thoughts and feelings anyways. The deck may help you find these patterns.

You may also choose your own path, disregard what I said and make your own game, read old or future dreams or even play the lottery. The tools are now in your hands.
