Listen to the whispers of forgotten witches, embark on a journey of transformation and discover folk wisdom from around the world in this stunning 60-card oracle deck.

Delve into the awe-inspiring tales of witches from all over the world across the ten suits in this deck: meet curse-bringers, shape-shifters, survivors, avengers, mesmerizers, well-wishers, alchemists, revenants, nature witches and fate-turners.

Within these 60 beautifully illustrated cards, you will also meet familiars, spirits, deities, magical items and magical places, providing insight and empowerment with every card you draw. The accompanying oracle booklet tells the story of each card, and offers instructions on how to use five unique spreads for deeper divination:

  • Hecate Spread: when you feel stuck and need quick guidance, draw three cards related to Hecate’s dagger, torch and key.
  • Pentagram Spread: draw five cards related to the five points of a star, representing earth, water, air, fire and spirit, to examine the effects of a specific situation.
  • Magnum Opus Spread: this spread will guide you through a ten-step process of transmutation, drawing on the wisdom of spiritual alchemy, using a card from each suit.
  • Storyweaving and Collective Storyweaving Spreads: create your own mini folktales, or gather with friends, and interpret them as you would a dream, uncovering connections between your imagined story and life.

As you draw these cards, interpret the wisdom and weave tales of your own, you will gain insight and empowerment from these inspiring magical practitioners who once terrorized, devoured, helped or empowered their communities.
"With captivating prose and charming art, this deck brings the wisdom of yesterday into today’s world with the warmth of an old friend. Both Balázs and Lilla have crafted a unique oracle deck that honours the power in folklore found in diverse cultures."
– Alan U. D. Dalul, author of Pagan Portals – Venezuelan Folklore

"The enchanting illustrations really bring the mysterious and magical nature of this deck to life. You’ll hear the woeful whispers of the Lamia and feel the unfailing hope of the unicorn as you shuffle through. I can’t wait to try the Storyweaving spread with my friends!"
– Chloe-Anne Banks, historian and BBC's 'Destination X' contestant

"A portal of a deck, a masterpiece and a living story."
– Lida Pavlova, author of The Library of Questions and Honey and Lavender Tarot
