Any Oracles Like This?

Wendywu

OK - so I want to buy a deck. It needs to fit in with this list:

1. It needs to be black & white/greyscale
2. I prefer abstract or surreal art
3. I really dislike images of real people, or people drawn so that they look real. So no photographic images or images that look so real they could almost be photographs.


Any ideas? I really want to have a deck to want ......

I'm pretty sure there's not much, if anything that will fit that bill...

There's Morgan's Tarot (not a Tarot despite the name), but it's not abstract:

There is the Paracelsus Oracle, which is not b/w, but at least kinda monochromatic in sepia hues, and it has people, but also symbols:

Can't think of anything else right now...

I like Morgans, and have a copy of the reprint :)

That oracle - it's ages since I tried geomancy! I always used a dibber and made marks in soil. I didn't realise you could get cards as well. That's really interesting.

Re: the Paracelsus Oracle
Lovely, by the way! On another forum, there was a suggestion made to use 2 copies of the deck together so that you have the possibility of all 4 identical Mothers.

Okay! :bugeyed:
was it the chemistry of the single tint print that got you?
I have them in the curvaceous collection (circles with corners, right?) so I didn't know you'd missed 'em when I got them :)

Yes, the single tint makes it feel very different for me. It's just hard to be sure which I'd want more. B or H? Plenty of time . . . it's slotted for April. :laugh:
