The Kallaste Oracle has Arrived!

New! THE KALLASTE ORACLE second edition. Formerly "Mme. Loviise’s Scorned Oracle," this "lost" divination system is similar to but different from the Lenormand. This new edition presents the system in two distinct styles: a "reproduction" of the cartomancer's own hand-made deck, in the original Estonian, and a modern version, in English. The "Reproduction" deck includes 48 poker-sized cards, plus 4 extra information cards.  The "Modern" deck includes 48 bridge-sized cards, plus 4 extra "Famous Fortune Teller" trading / novelty cards. 104 cards total in an attractive and informative printed hook box. The Kallaste Oracle is part of the World of The Zirkus Mägi. It joins the 10th Anniversary Zirkus Tarot and the Salon Oracles 2-deck set in celebrating a decade...

Nights at the Zirkus

In 2013 the Zirkus Mägi first came to town as a Majors-only deck. One year later, the full deck arrived; and though it sounds over-dramatic to say so, the deck, and the kind people like you who helped to make it a reality, saved my life. No, really, you did. I revisited the Zirkus Mägi several times in intervening years: first for Zirkus Fortune Telling Playing Cards, then for the block-busting Midway Arcana, and finally for the “Kipper” version, the Zirkus Bavarian Oracle. I was always happy to revisit the Zirkus Mägi and now I’m pleased to announce that I’m going to be returning to the ring once again. It’s been TEN YEARS under the little Big Top of the...
