The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle (Modern Tarot Library) (Folk Magic): A Fantasy Oracle (60 Oracle Cards & Guidebook)

I have nearly 100 decks of all sorts that I have collected over the decades. These are my favourite oracle cards. The organisation, attention to detail and the quality of everything you get are all to be admired. Very special deck.

I preordered the April '24 edition of this deck due to seeing Mr Mark Hulmes showcasing it on the Highrollers Altheya D&D stream (Twitch/YouTube live at 5 on Sundays!) and I was stunned at how beautiful this edition is in person. The copper foiling on the box and each individual card is absolutely gorgeous. The illustrations are so elegant and thought-provoking. The guidebook fits perfectly into the incredible quality packaging (which arrived in flawless condition), magnetic closure on the external box, which houses an inner tray for the book and cards to sit neatly in. All in all, I was over the moon with the deck. I've been a fan of Highrollers for many years now, and to see a Foreword written by Mark was a really proud moment. I know how much his work means to him, and I can see the same love and care has gone into this deck as well. He wouldn't put his name to something that he didn't wholeheartedly believe in. The only downside was 3 of the cards came with defects, in which they had two 5mm (nearly 2/8's) wide rip/tear/crimping marks along their top edge. It made them sit awkwardly in the deck and such obvious damage made them very clearly 'marked cards', which I think skews any kind of reading that you'd do with them. So I've put in for a replacement and hope that this is just a one-off issue that somehow slipped through quality control. I am still giving the deck 5/5 and would recommend it with full support to anybody interested in oracle decks, RPGs or storytelling. Edit to update: Replacement deck arrived today (28/04/24) and it is *perfect* absolutely no defects or manufacturing errors in this one, I couldn't be more happy 5/5*****

Top notch cards. Excellent quality and easy to read.

I’ve recently received these cards. Apart from the artistry and beauty in their design. They are a pleasure to use. The card shape is not hard to adjust to. Now I’ve done a few readings with these cards, they are are amazingly accurate and to the point. I believe this comes from how they are broken into sections and real world meaning. Whereas some oracles are designed to connect to higher realms, this deck is firmly rooted in everyday scenarios and happenings. Whilst still connected to the higher realm. I admittedly took a chance with these cards. However, I have to say they have surpassed any expectations and much more beyond.

This deck very quickly became my favourite. The shape is unique and have not seen in other decks which made me buy it. The box is beautifully designed and the artwork on the cards is even more beautiful. The gold touches really makes it stand out. I love this deck so much already. When I received it and unboxed it even my mum was impressed and rushed to purchase her own while it’s still on sale! 100% recommend

As a writer and tarot reader I find these cards exceptional! They are beautiful and interesting, fantastic quality, and a lovely unique shape. I have already used these for my online readings and they were giving powerful messages immediately. I'm looking forward to using these cards in my writing process too. They will be fantastic for brainstorming. The perfect deck for any writer / tarot reader. Love them!

Design is absolutely gorgeous and they are fun to use

I have a big Tarot and Oracle deck collection, but it is safe to say that this has become one of my absolute favourites! It can easily be used as a clarifier to a reading or for personal inner work...but it really shines when it comes to fantasy story-telling! Its quality is phenomenal as well! I'm totally in love with this little gem! :)

From the unique shape of the cards down to the sturdy and also unique packaging, this deck is absolutely stunning. I love the gold foil details too, it really adds some glitz and makes the card come to life. The entirety is just absolutely stellar and well done. Ive never seen anything like it. But more than its looks, it's actually one of the best oracles I've found. I have been disappointed with oracles in the past, coz they're spiritual floof that never apply or are hard to connect to. Or the deck is woefully small and lacking detail or balance between positive and negative energies. This is a 60 card deck!!!! Well balanced, very detailed. I just love it!!! I also love that upright and reversed are right on the cards for easy reference. Great add for any collection, and definitely gotta have if you're a reader like me. Complements tarot splendidly (or other oracles even, like lenormand)

This deck is gorgeous, and I'm so glad I bought them. They have a wonderful shape, and the artwork and foiling are absolutely stunning. The art style is wonderfully unique and engaging to look at. The cards are not traditional tarot or oracle cards - they are their own system, which can also be used for TTRPGs. The guidebook that comes with the box is very thick and of good quality and has thorough explanations for each card, as well as some TTRPG-related instructions, and some deck-specific spreads. The card box itself is very heavy cardboard and has a magnetic closure, which I deeply appreciate. The art on the box is also gorgeous, and the box has a silky matte finish like the cards. HOWEVER: - Amazon shipped them in a bubble envelope, and the box arrived damaged in one corner. I have no idea why they wouldn't ship it in the small boxes they have. - The cardstock used for these cards is a matte finish, and they really don't shuffle well because of it. The cards all want to stick together so a regular shuffle is difficult, and if you bridge shuffle them they fly all over the place. - The cardstock has very sharp edges, it cut my thumb while I was shuffling. - The cards are flimsy; just with regular shuffling, two or three of them already have bent corners and I've only done one reading so far. I'm not sure if it's because of the weak cardstock, or the shape of the cards. I'm not particularly rough on my cards, to give an idea I've had my Hermetic tarot deck for 3 years and they are my favorite and most used deck - they're well-loved, used at least once a week, and are still in perfect shape (although I can't say the same for the box LOL). Overall, they are a beautiful addition to my collection and worth the money but in the next edition, I hope the author considers a better cardstock to use, which would immensely improve the experience of using the deck.

It's so beautiful! The package is so well thought of! Very helpful with world-building for those who are into writing.

Beautiful deck cards are all good shuffles really well. Messages are quite clear

Le illustrazioni sono stupende, credo di non averne mai viste di così prima d’ora. Ed il libretto non solo ti spiega il significato delle carte, ma ti mostra che puoi usare questo mazzo anche per inventare personaggi e situazioni di D&D. Una chicca veramente interessante! Consiglio vivamente di comprarlo, anche solo da collezionare.
