Soni Graves, a Chilean-American artist and eclectic witch, built this oracle around death as a lens for living. The 77 cards combine playful, dark imagery with printed guidance on every card and a 204-page guidebook that includes yes/no methods, spirit numbers, and journaling prompts for deeper reflection.
Graves lost her mother, and that loss sits quietly at the heart of this deck without ever making it feel heavy.

Death here is not an endpoint. It is a lens. Morbid Mirror Oracle takes death symbolism seriously as a tool for self-reflection, not as an aesthetic layer. That difference comes through as soon as you hold the cards.
The deck was made by Soni Graves, a Chilean-American artist who describes herself as an eclectic witch. She has been drawn to death and the macabre since childhood, a fascination that deepened after her mother passed away. Her mother, Mama Sonia, taught her about art, creativity, intuition and perseverance. That personal history grounds the deck's subject matter: grief, ancestral wisdom, spirit guides, past lives, and death rituals from cultures around the world.
The imagery is playful and dark at the same time, a style sometimes called whimsigoth: heavy symbolism rendered in a light, illustrative hand. The 77 cards feature iridescent foil details and iridescent edges. Every card has an inspirational message printed directly on it, giving you an anchor point for a reading even before you open the guidebook.
The themes draw from death festivals, myths and sacred rituals across many cultures. Graves does not treat any single tradition as the default. That breadth makes the deck richer in content than a purely Western approach to the subject.
The 204-page guidebook covers a core message, advice and a reflective question for each card. Those questions are specifically designed for journaling. Beyond individual card meanings, the guidebook offers several ways to read the cards, including yes/no answers and working with spirit numbers.
This is not a deck for someone looking only for pretty pictures. The guidebook goes beyond surface-level messages and asks for personal engagement.
Pull a card around a question of loss or transition, read the reflective question in the guidebook, and write down what comes up. The combination of image, message and question gives a reading more depth than a single keyword ever could.
Soni Graves lives with her husband and their black cats in an old, art-covered home. She describes herself as an eclectic witch who loves animals and spending time in nature. Her interest in death began in early childhood and grew stronger after losing her mother.
Graves is also the creator of Happy Halloween Tarot, published by the same publisher, U.S. Games Systems. Morbid Mirror Oracle is her second deck with them.
