Midwest Gothic Oracle

Explore the mysteries of the American Heartland with the Midwest Gothic Oracle - a 38 card cartomancy deck for those who know that the church ladies are not to be trusted, that the deer answer only to their own gods, and that the space beyond the porch light’s furthest reaches is filled with unseen horrors. 

In a world where a home-cooked casserole is delivered with a muttered curse, and the all-night diner is filled with lost souls and warm ghosts, navigate your way through life’s crumbling pavement and unseasonable blizzards with this set of fully-illustrated, Lenormand-inspired oracle cards. 

Will The Cobwebs speak to you of strength and resilience?
Or will The Deer Blind warn you of deception?
Will The Lonely Highway tell you of a journey up ahead?
Or will the Dead End stop you…dead? 



This deck was written by me, Alexandra Tinsley, and illustrated by the amazing Anna Lisa Schneider. We launched it as a collaborative Kickstarter project in fall of 2023. The deck consists of 38 cards with silver foil edging and a mini guidebook with card meanings and instructions.
