Originally published as Shadow Magick Compendium, Raven Digitalis’s revised and expanded special edition is filled to the brim with bits of lore, history, meditations, and exercises that the Witch can employ to embrace their own inner darkness. Practical and grounded in its approach, this book is still intimate enough to remind the Witch as well as the casual reader that darkness exists as a positive force we can actively embrace. By facing the darker aspects of ourselves, of society, and of the world, we can truly embrace the totality of our power.

In the spirit of his Empath's Oracle deck, Raven Digitalis has created A Gothic Witch's Oracle in collaboration with world-renowned photographic artist John Santerineross.

The art of divination is, by its very nature, an act of exploring the unseen. This deck will take you on a journey to the next level.
These 40 cards and accompanying guidebook encourage readers to embrace their own creativity and intuition when performing divination. By exploring the dark and mysterious aspects of life, we can better understand ourselves and discover our unique place in the world.
