The Witching Hour Oracle

The Witching Hour Oracle - 39 cards through the stages of awakening

Not every witch deck is the same. This is not a collection of pretty pictures in pastels and unicorns. The Witching Hour Oracle is about practice: spells, setting intentions, shadow work. It is a working deck for people who see witchcraft as a serious spiritual practice.

Olivia Bürki combined hand-drawn elements with digital techniques in her illustrations. The result is dreamy and bohemian, but not vague. Lorriane Anderson wrote the accompanying texts and designed the guidebook as a witch's journal. The 64-page book contains spells, exercises and card meanings that go beyond short descriptions.

What you see on the cards

The 39 cards follow the phases of spiritual awakening. Each card represents an aspect of witchcraft or mysticism: from recognising your intuition to breaking through blockages and manifesting intentions.

The illustrations have a soft, almost magical quality. Colours are gentle but not childish. The imagery combines bohemian aesthetics with esoteric symbolism. You see elements from nature, ancestral practices and modern mysticism woven together.

The guidebook as workbook

The book is set up as a journal. There is space to write, spells to use, and exercises you can combine with your own rituals. The texts per card are more extensive than average. Anderson explains how a card relates to personal growth and spiritual transformation.

This is not a booklet you read once and put away. It asks for active use. Draw a card, write, apply.

Draw a card at new moon and use the accompanying spell from the book to set an intention. Write in the journal what you notice in the weeks that follow.

Questions we often get

Are the spells in the book suitable for beginners?
Yes. The spells are written accessibly and require no extensive prior knowledge. They are meant as a supplement to the cards, not as complex rituals. You can use them as they are or adapt them to your own practice.

How does this deck differ from other witch decks?
The emphasis is on practice, not just symbolism. The guidebook is a workbook, not a reference guide. The illustrations are dreamy but powerful, not merely decorative. The deck follows no existing system but its own structure of 39 cards.
