So guess what just came in the mail today! (Err well not technically today as I was out of country but y’all know what I mean!)

That’s my copy of the 2nd edition Oracle Dice by @publishinggoblin, as you might know by my posts I am a big fan of Tarot and tarot adjacent practices but I also a big fan of the first oracle dice which I got as an add-on in one @publishinggoblin’s previous crowdfunding campaigns (believe it was for The Narmol Tarot 2nd Edition) which I absolutely adored. Haven’t really posted it much about it mostly because it more than an other form divination seems to almost gleefully cut to the heart of things and hit nothing but nerves, but not in a bad way? Honestly don’t know how to explain it, it’s just the reading we’re always intensely personal and raw, so I never felt comfortable posting about my readings with them.

Anyways, when this 2nd edition was announced I backed it almost immediately at the Etched in Stone tier, to get those fancy dice made of, you probably guessed it stone. So I’ve decided to do this rambling review first impression thing for… well anyone who wants it!

First a look at the mat

The very that jumps out at me is what an improvement it is over the first one! Not to say the first mat is bad, the things takes center stage of my tarot reading and in fact has shaped it radically I love it to bits but the design of this new mat is just 💋.

Plus the texture is just fantastic, has that fantastic smooth silky thing going that I just love to glide my hand along.

And then there is the second side, while the loss of the rubber bottom to prevent slippage is regrettable this second reading space is wonderful. I haven’t even cracked open the guide to see the traditional use and interpretations but I am already feeling inspired. I cannot wait to get started, and I have a distinct feeling this may well be taking over as the centerpiece of my divination practice going forward.

Now then, onto what is probably the main event, the Dice

Ahhhhhh they’re so preety 😍 As a reminder these are the fancier Etched in Stone tier dice, each is made of a different stone and the faces are all etched in and inked and look absolutely stunning in person. Just holding them is a treat and the noise they make when you shakey-shakey them in preparation for a throw is fantastic. I fear now that I have experienced non-plastic dice I will never be able to go back, I have yet to even properly cast them but I love them already.

But wait, there’s more!

There were two Oracle decks on offer so of course I had to get both.

On the right we got the Dice Face Oracle which turn each dice face into its own individual card along with a guide to reading them as cards, but also encourages you to read them as their dice versions meaning you have options when performing readings and I love that shit, there is nothing that I love more than a reading that evolves and shifts the more you stare and stew on it. Also every one of the dice face icons are excellently designed and having them in a bigger blown up form is wonderful.

On the left we got the 22 card Lords of Oracle deck. Each of the dice has its own lord who is an embodiment of their die with their own lore and my god I love this art! I can absolutely see myself pulling one of these cards and having on of these lords color a reading in a completely new light, the potential is just breathtaking.

And last but certainly not least, the tomes.

I haven’t had a chance to truly sit down and read the guide, but from a quick skimming it is still written in the same easy to understand way as the 1st edition. The first edition was a fantastic guide to a admittedly complex divination practice and as long as this second edition continues that with the new dice it is a welcome edition to the books I reference on the regular, plus having page size version of the Lords of Oracle art is just wonderful.

The reading journal is a fantastically designed tool especially for those beginning with these dice. I would have loved something like this for when I started with the first edition as it was a tad bit overwhelming with it’s… everything. I will most certainly be making use of it

Righto, that’s my first impressions/ review of the Oracle Dice 2nd edition done. Will be trying a few reading when I have a chance and will hopefully remember to talk about is here! So if you got any questions or if I forget to talk about the reading experience feel free to textually yell about it here or in my ask box, see y’all!

At the request of @publishinggoblin, I'm sharing a photo of my Alleyman's Tarot in use. This shows a trial of The Alley Spread, a unique layout described in the book which accompanied the deck itself. The photo is from early April.

-- i remember someone (who i am no longer mutuals with, so it's none of you, don't mind your pretty little heads) posting that blogs who have "a study in _____" were so pretentious. it rubbed me the wrong way because although i don't have that in my about page, this blog IS a study in multiple things. this blog was a way for me to process my own trauma, gender, and ed. although some of these themes are not blatant in my writing, a lot of my muses and plot ideas are therapeutic for me. and that's okay.

when it comes down to it, rp blogs are character studies and studies in themes. even if you're just a smut blog, you are a study in bodies and intimacy. never feel pretentious or uppity for labeling your blog as a study in whatever or as whatever you view it as. because "it's just an rp blog" doesn't make you any less of a writer or a philosopher (put the gun down), and this community really needs to foster that. it's fine if you hold the belief that your blog is just for fun and its just your silly little writings! some days i write for nothing but the good brain juice. however, a lot of people pour out their hearts and souls into this work. respect that and love that and acknowledge that.

#the elitism is sometimes so POTENT. #self published writing is JUST AS WORTHY TO BE LABELED LITERATURE as trad published #idk sometimes i think people discount the effort and talent and creative ability in rp blogs #i know i always joke that im just a goblin with a monsterfucking agenda #but i believe in this space and i believe in all of your writing abilities #or i wouldn't be writing with you #rant cw

Bram may be a humble research assistant at the Ikari Institute, but the Bhande's skill with paper and ink and the ability to truly represent their subject, has gained them access to many restricted places and people across Ajurea. Their subjects range as much their world does; dedicating poachers and mayors and fallen gods to page, even receiving invites from the more...ego stroking, to have their portraits drawn and kept in the vast archives of Ikari. Just a few portraits of some of Confluence's NPC's that will be found in the Atlas! Was so fun to work with shadow and line, though I couldn't resist some colour, it's me u guys Now, Big Question: who'd you like to meet most?? All art is mine, see more of confluence on our twitter!

So got some time to finally take a crack at doing a reading with @publishinggoblin Oracle Dice.

Drew up the reading in the reading journal and then cracked open the guide and proceeded to have all of the raw nerves (some I didn’t even know I had!) touched with just the core and body/summer quadrant and had to put it down for the day. Currently working on interpreting material/autumn and anticipating even more emotional damage.

10/10 will use with caution-anticipation-dread, considering adding a copy with my Alleyway Oracle pledge for the road.
