Whether you're already enchanted by A Discovery of Witches or simply drawn to beautifully crafted oracle decks steeped in folklore, alchemy, and witchcraft, this is a remarkable addition to any magical collection. 🖤 A Fictional Oracle Brought to Life Few oracle decks have such a fascinating origin story.

Beautifully illustrated by British artist Hester Aspland, the deck weaves together symbolism inspired by nature, birds, moon phases, alchemy, magical tools, covens, and the elements. Every illustration feels as though it has been lifted from an ancient grimoire, blending historical elegance with contemporary artistry.

Deborah Harkness developed the oracle as an integral part of the fictional history of the Proctor family, giving it its own symbolism, structure, and magical traditions before bringing it into the real world as a fully realised oracle deck. The cards are organised into eight distinct categories: Elements, Birds, Covens, Tools, Principles, Alchemical Processes, Moon Phases, and Magics, creating a reading system unlike traditional oracle decks.
