Day 13 (Lucky 13!) of #occultober

A quartz crystal ball.

I always wanted a crystal ball as a kid. I was disappointed that they weren’t really crystal, but rather just glass. I found this one in a metaphysical shop that ostensibly is quartz.

Some people might […]

Day 12 of #occultober

An obsidian mirror. A “shewstone” if you’re an Elizabethan.

I bought this because of John Dee. If you’re not familiar with John Dee, go to Wikipedia. Alchemist. Mathematician. Spy. The literal archetype of fantasy magician.

Dee had an […]

Day 11 of #occultober

Another marginal item, and one that’s even less occult and divinatory. The Oblique Strategies by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt. 106 cards each containing a single suggestion for helping you get unstuck in your creative endeavor.

I learned […]

Image of an opened "Oblique Strategies" box by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt, displaying a card describing the contents as "Over one hundred worthwhile dilemmas." The box is maroon with embossed lettering. The card mentions it's a sixth revised edition. This is 369 of 500Are there sections? Consider transitions

Day 10 of #occultober

I’m rapidly running out of things, particularly of the divinatory nature. So allow me these next two.

The Magic 8 Ball. Is this a joke? Yes, but also no.

Growing up in Southern Illinois there are a lot of Pentecostals and the like. For […]

Day 9 of #occultober

Edward Gorey’s Fantod Pack

It’s not meant to be taken as real cartomancy, but its macabre art fits the bill for light hearted spooky time.

#cartomancy #occult #esoteric #gorey

The Blue Dog — a bulldog looks at you from behind a door The Burning Head — a floating head is surrounded by fire, but not consumed by it. It’s eyes stare intensely at you The yellow bird — a wingless bird flies over some leafless trees

Day 8 of #occultober

The Cryptid Tarot by Chris Gabriel

Not really a tarot. Not really a lenormand. It’s a bit of both. Thirty six cards divided into a 10 card “cryptid qabalah” (actions), a 22 “cryptid arcana” (12 monsters, 7 locations, 3 “general categories”) […]

5 Attack — hands reaching out 18 Werewolf — a large wolf looking at you in the distance 13 Dragon — the famous photo of the Loch Ness monster

Day 7 of #occultober

My Lenormand deck.

Associated with French mystic Marie Lenormand, the 36 card deck feature more common symbols than the tarot and subsequently the meanings of the cards are more up to interpretation. Interestingly, the cards all feature […]

Letter (number 27) (seven of spades) — it shows a letter on a wax sealed postal envelope Stork (number 17) (queen of hearts) — a white stork standing in its empty nest The sun (number 31) (ace of diamonds) — a cartoon sun with a smiling face

Day 6 of #occultober

We’ve finished my tarot decks, but I do have some tarot cards left. Uel Aramchek and Lays Farra created additional major arcana cards picking up where the originals left off. They looked to extend the pantheon to include he modern cybernetic […]

Some of the batteries are breaking open and liquid is floating out 33 The Game Show — an audience watches a stage where a glowing body lays on an altar.

Day 5 of #occultober

Suzanne Treister’s Hexen 2.0 Tarot

Another full replacement of the card, although the names remain. Instead of replacing the drawing she replaces images with references to things, people, and organization associated with the advent of 1960s […]

Five of wands (William Blake) (reversed) — his bust appears over… flames? The way flame contains words describing his work. “Father of modern anarchism”, “influences Aldous Huxley”, etc Six of chalices (Dream sharing) — two rings of clouds surround the words, “thought based networks”, “network enabled telepathy”, etc Four of chalices (Castle clock by Al-Tazari) (reversed) — a drawing of the medieval Arabic clock. It’s like a small building with five musicians outside. The word say, “earliest programmable computer”, etc

Day 4 of #occultober

My favorite deck, the Science Tarot. What I like about it is that everything is changed. The suits, the names, the face card names, everything. And yet, the suits still correspond to the original suits, alchemical elements, and specific […]

Six of Beakers (Cups) (Return to the Sea) — two humpback whales dive under the water after breaking the surface. Dolphins cavort on the surface. Queen of Magnifying Glasses (Pentacles) (Frank Oppenheimer) (storyteller) — Frank Oppenheimer stands in front the of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco hold a wooden board on which two beveled gears attached to hand cranks are mounted Ace of Candles (wands) (Nebula) — The nebula from supernova is seen in the middle. surrounding it is a the outline of an ouroboros. It’s eye is a bright star

Day 3 of #occultober

Aleister Crowley redid the tarot deck for the O.T.O. He changed all the images in the minor arcana, and most of major arcana. He also reordered and renamed the major arcana to better fit Golden Dawn correspondences with qabalah, the elements […]

10 of Wands (Oppression) (reversed) — it looks like a marseille card, but the right criscrossed back wands look like a elongated blue flames, or maybe glass tubes with flames inside them. The two top wands are green metal wands. The bottoms are pointed with elongated pyramids. The tops are goblin faces(?) wearing a crown? Behind these is some sort of ornate cross made of fire. A Sagittarius symbol is at the bottom, and Saturn one is at the top 10 of disks (Wealth) — it’s 10 disks laid out like a sefirot with zodiac symbols and Hebrew letters in them. The disks are yellow and they float above a pile of unlabeled purple disks. A Virgo symbol is at the bottom 2 of disks (change) (reversed) — it’s a snake wearing a crown that’s been curled up into a figure 8. Each hole in the eight contains a yin-yang with alchemical symbols. The top is yin yang is green and yellow with an orange circle in the green with the symbol for fire, and a green circle in the yellow with water. The bottom is purple and yellow, with a green circle in the yellow for earth, and yellow circle in the purple for air. The yin yangs are mirrored, counterclockwise at the top, and clockwise at the bottom. A Saturn symbol is at the top and Capricorn at the bottom

Day 2 of #occultober

The Marseille Tarot, or Le Tarot de Marseille if you’re nasty. The first tarot deck from Italy (thus the French name). Made for game, with no #esoteric meaning at all. Perhaps the trumps were used for some sort of cartomancy, but the Golden […]

[Original post on sfba.social]

The Star (reversed) — a nude blonde woman kneels and pours two liquids into a a stream or pond. In her right hand is a yellow pitcher pouring a white liquid. In her left hand, a red pitcher dispenses a blue liquid. Above her eight stars are in the sky: three small yellow ones, two small blue ones, two small red ones, and a large multicolor star that looks like a red, blue, and yellow were overlayed onto each other. Ten of Batons — It’s ten batons similar to what a drum major would hold weaved together. The pattern doesn’t mean anything. The weave is just a motif that that the swords and batons have. Knave of Chalices — a young man holds a chalice in right hand. He’s dressed like a knight’s attendant
@jonathankoren.sfba.social.ap.brid.gyOct 2, 2026, 6:20 AM

I’m going to regret doing this for multiple reasons.

Let’s kick off #occultober with the first #esoteric #tarot deck, Waite-Smith deck. (Why do we even mention the publisher? He’s just some rich dude with a printing press. He didn’t do shit.) Arthur Edward Waite […]

[Original post on sfba.social]

Waite-Smith tarot three card draw Ace of Cups — The Hand of God (hand coming out of a cloud) holds a chalice with the letter W on it. Four streams of water erupt out from the cup like a fountain filling a pond covered in flowering lily pads. A dove descends into the cup holding a eucharist in its beak Queen of Wands — A queen dressed in yellow sits on a throne holding a wooden staff with leaves coming out of it in her right hand, while her left holds a sunflower. She looks slightly to her left. At her feat, a black cat with a red collar looks at us. Behind the yellow throne is a tapestry showing two rampart lions standing holding a sunflower with two sunflowers beneath them The Hermit (reversed) — An old man dressed in a grey robe with the hood up stands looking down. In his left hand is a staff. In his right held aloft is a lantern. The lantern is lit

I said I'd do #occultober with my friends by submitting quick doodles with rams just for fun
This is what I made two hours later
They're turning me into a furry

#inktober

A picture I did for Occultober's "Mabon" theme, with a portrait of an anthro ram from the side. He has a night sky/moon and stars makeup on his inner eye and a sun on his outer eye. His brow is star-shaped, and he has two rings on one of his horns. There's also some branches beside him. The whole picture is black and white, and it's also encased in a circle.
