Oracle of Obake. Japanese Supernatural Creatures, Phenomena, and Objects (64 cards + brochure)

Oracle of Obake. Japanese supernatural creatures, phenomena, and objects (64 cards + brochure). 

Obake is a general term for Japanese supernatural beings, objects, and phenomena. With this unique deck, you will befriend them and be able to make predictions and give different tasks to the spirits with their help. Some of them you can summon with the power of your intention, while you can choose to visit others - the oracle erases the boundaries of space and time. 

Incredible adventures await you, you will receive advice, learn lessons, and expand your horizons. Spirits and ghosts will guide you, help you, and warn you of dangers and deception. The main feature of this deck is that it combines not only the habitats of beings and different elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Spirit) but also different years. 

This means that, in addition to traveling across Japan, you will travel through time epochs. Feel like a wizard, a student walking towards their teacher. In this unusual journey, you will gain knowledge and power, learn to find mutual understanding with all types of people, and negotiate, because the beings in this oracle have very different personalities, just like the people you meet in real life. And, of course, the stunning magical illustrations, where the characters seem to come alive, will not leave you indifferent. 

"Oracle of Obake" is an oracle of energy exchange. This means that before asking for something, you need to give something that is needed by the one whose help and support you are counting on. 

When creating the deck, the author laid down this principle and already established basic positive interaction with all the spirits. The first meaning of any card is "Lesson": you have met a supernatural being or phenomenon. What is the meaning of this encounter for you? What did it teach you, how should you behave, or how should you not behave? What important message did the spirit want to convey to you? The second meaning is "Advice": how can you help the character or object, and how can you make their existence better? By giving advice to them, you are also giving advice to yourself. For a closer acquaintance, you can practice a day with the card. Every morning, draw one and carry it with you until you go to sleep. More detailed instructions and layouts are presented in the accompanying brochure. 

You can additionally interpret the meanings of the cards as the characters reveal themselves to you through the stories and details of the images. This is the first oracle of energy exchange, where you not only ask for help and advice but also help and give advice yourself. 

When working with the deck, you will establish relationships with the surrounding world in all its manifestations, learn to interact with the unpredictable reality. As an excellent psychological and metaphorical tool, the oracle will help you know yourself and the features of your personality, work through conflicting emotions, and heal the soul. It can also serve as a warning and protective artifact, a helper in overcoming crises, advising on how to fix problems of any complexity, and teaching you to negotiate about anything and with anyone. 

Through divination, you will be able to learn about the past, present, and future, identify your helper in the world of Japanese supernatural beings, and uncover your magical abilities. 

With the help of the "yes/no" card, you can receive quick and short answers to your questions. The deck is suitable for various magical and psychological work for both beginners and experienced practitioners. And, of course, we definitely recommend it to all fans of Japanese culture. 

It will become a decoration for your collection of Japanese artifacts. The mythology of Japan is incredibly unique. Supernatural beings are an integral part of the culture of this country and today evoke great interest beyond its borders. The author, along with us, has fallen under the mystical charm of magical Japanese legends. We decided to publish this deck to share the unique experiences and knowledge that the author gained during their journey across Japan. Each card in the deck represents a spirit or phenomenon and contains information about its history and characteristics. We assure you that if you encounter them, you will no longer confuse them with anyone else or anything! Even if these beings are friendly, the form of communication to which they are accustomed is very peculiar. It is important to understand and feel this to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Japan, to learn something new, and to make your world richer and more interesting.
