Oracolarium -Genesis Collector Edition-

O-ra-co-la-ri-um (noun) - The first of its kind -

Oracolarium is both an Oracle (a tool to answer your questions) and an Imaginarium (a place to exercise your imagination). It's like a wunderkammer or cabinet of curiosities where you can connect with your intuition and inspiration.

Step inside this magical and multi-sensorial universe!

This immersive deck of 28 cards guide you through a journey that tells stories, answers questions, and connects the parallel worlds of tarot reading, divination, stage performance, and storytelling. The deck is accompanied by a Book of Spells that teach you how to use the deck from beginner to very advanced levels.

When viewed through a smartphone or tablet, the cards come to life via Augmented Reality: they speak to you and provide you with insights that will spark your intuition and creativity. Unique animations were created for each card by Andrea Aste, set to a specially composed soundtrack by Neil Kelso.

"an impressive artistic achievement ... a mesmerising cinematic experience" 
- BoingBoing  

The Genesis Collectors Edition is limited to only 28 editions, because each edition contains a page from Andrea Aste's notebook featuring the original sketches of one of the Oracolarium cards.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to own the artist's original sketches for this magical deck. You will also receive the Oracolarium deck, and a full collection of materials, music, and art pieces.

Some elements of the Genesis Collectors Edition will be personalised. When you purchase, you will be given the opportunity to let us know the name you would like to appear on the Membership Certificate and the Alchemical letters.

Specifications 

The Genesis Collectors Edition includes:

• One page from Andrea Aste's notebook featuring the original hand-drawn sketches showing the early stage work-in-progress of one card's creation. This is unique (1 of 1). The page measures 195 x 270mm (approx 7.5 x 10.5").
• One superior fine-art Giclée Print of the Oracolarium card on heavyweight acid free archival Museum Paper giving a beautiful fibrous finish.

• One Certificate of Authenticity for the Notebook and Art Print.
• One Personalised Order of the Cauldron Membership Certificate. The certificate is hand-made and personalised (dedicated to whatever name you choose). It is aged by hand using a technique developed by Andrea Aste, and it is sealed with the Oracolarium seal. The certificate also contains additional hidden codes, clues, and messages which can only be revealed by shining UV light onto your certificate.
• One portable UV Black Light torch which you can use to reveal the messages hidden in your Membership Certificate.
• Three Personalised Alchemical Letters. These letters are correspondence from a professor at The Academy of Esoterica, containing advice for unlocking additional power in the Oracolarium. They contain many tips and lessons which will guide you in the use of your Oracolarium. The letters are written to the name you choose. These letters are aged by hand using a technique developed by Andrea Aste. 
• One Oracolarium Deck of 28 Cards.
• One Black Organza Bag to keep your cards in.

• One Triangular Magnetic Box which perfectly fits your Spell Book and Deck.

The 28 Genesis Collectors Editions will be allocated randomly. There is only one available per card of Oracolarium - each one is unique and special. Destiny will determine which of the 28 sets you will receive.
