About This Deck
The Sabbath Oracle is an oracle deck designed to provide "Second Sight" to diviners, channeling ancient powers of witchcraft and the unseen movers of the Cosmos. Created by photographer and graphic artist Allan Spiers, this deck follows his previous work, The Sabbath Tarot, expanding on a dark, mystical aesthetic. The imagery is characterized by its use of digitally manipulated photography, often featuring human and humanoid figures, some with horns or other demonic attributes, set against atmospheric, shadowy backdrops.
The deck's visual language is rich with occult symbolism and a sense of the arcane, appealing to those who connect with darker spiritual themes. The cards appear to be borderless, allowing the dramatic artwork to extend to the edge. While the exact number of cards is not specified, the campaign successfully raised $27,668 from 203 backers, indicating a strong interest in its unique aesthetic and thematic approach.
This oracle deck is positioned as a tool for deep introspection and connection with esoteric energies, moving beyond conventional divination to explore the more mysterious and potent aspects of the spiritual realm. Its focus on "ancient powers of witchcraft" and "unseen movers of the Cosmos" suggests a system designed for profound, transformative readings rather than simple daily guidance.
