Occult literature desk
Sodini’s deck offers a novel approach by merging tarot with AI-powered imagination, appealing strongly to tech-savvy occultists. However, purists who value historical continuity and hand-crafted artistry may find the synthetic nature alienating or lacking in traditional resonance. It does not suit readers seeking classical symbolism or those skeptical of digital intervention in spiritual matters. For open-minded seekers willing to explore 'synthography,' it provides a refreshing, if polarizing, perspective on divination that prioritizes innovative artistic expression over established dogma.
