Step into the misty hollows and ancient forests of the Appalachian Mountains with the Conjure Cards. Created by practitioner Jake Richards, this deck is a soulful tribute to the rich traditions of "Backwoods Conjurers" and "Grannie Witches." Unlike many polished, modern decks, the Conjure Cards possess a raw, earthy energy that feels as though it was pulled directly from a weathered cabin porch. Each hand-drawn card serves as a bridge to a time-honored system of fortune-telling that has been whispered through generations, offering a glimpse into a world where folklore, superstition, and spirit-work intertwine.
The deck utilizes 54 cards that reflect traditional dream symbols and regional superstitions. The imagery is deeply rooted in the cultural psyche of Appalachia; for instance, the Nine of Diamonds depicts a headless rooster—a haunting omen of a ghost denied a proper burial. Meanwhile, the Ace of Spades, traditionally the "death card," is illustrated with a parent’s cradle, symbolizing the inevitable and sacred cycle of birth and death. This deck does not shy away from the shadows, providing a grounded and honest perspective on the human experience through the lens of mountain folk magic.

The Conjure Cards are celebrated for their directness and intuitive ease. Whether you are performing a quick three-card draw or a more complex spread like the traditional "Bullfrog" layout, the cards speak with a clear, resonant voice. The matte-finish cardstock allows for smooth shuffling, making them ideal for daily practice. The accompanying 64-page guidebook offers deep dives into the meanings of each symbol, making it easy for even those unfamiliar with Appalachian lore to start reading immediately.
"When reading with these cards, look for the 'story' they tell across the spread. Appalachian conjure is about the connection between symbols—let the images speak to each other like neighbors across a fence."
The deck is housed in a unique box designed to resemble a handmade wooden cigar box, adding to its rustic charm and authenticity.
Is this deck a traditional Tarot system?
No, the Conjure Cards are an oracle and fortune-telling deck. While it shares some similarities with a standard 52-card playing deck plus two jokers, the imagery and meanings are entirely unique to Appalachian folk traditions.
Do I need to be familiar with folk magic to use these cards?
Not at all. While the deck is steeped in specific folklore, the imagery is highly intuitive. The symbols (like birds, cradles, and tools) speak to universal human experiences, making it accessible to anyone.
What is the "Bullfrog" spread mentioned in the guide?
The Bullfrog is a specialized layout included in the guidebook that mimics traditional Appalachian methods of looking at a situation from multiple angles—past influences, current hurdles, and the ultimate "jump" or outcome of the matter.
