The Vertical Oracle

by Antero Alli

The Vertical Oracle is a contemporary divination deck of 52 full-color cards by Sylvie Pickering accompanied by a book of provocative text by Antero Alli (author of "Angel Tech", "Astrologik", and others). While not a traditional tarot, The Vertical Oracle is designed to incite creative responses to everyday real life quandaries. The ageless archetypes - Magic, Death, Rebirth, Ritual, Chaos, Hope, Synchronicity - are given a 21st century context for inspiring more meaningful connections between our vertical spiritual sources and the horizontal realms of the out-there material world. Anter's text also includes astrological interpretations for each card. The Vertical Oracle book/card set comes packages in an attractive, durable hard case.

This is one of my favorite tools for divination. And a couple hands of five card catma can be a great way to break the ice and get to know folks better.
