How it works

What it is for

This contemporary oracle draws on the fifty identities traditionally called the Mantegna Tarocchi. They form five families: human conditions, muses, arts, virtues and celestial spheres. They are not a conventional tarot deck and are not attributed here to Mantegna himself.

How to use it

Choose a theme, then reveal one illustration from each of the five families. The selection creates a path through five distinct roles. You do not need to write a free question or know the historical images to use the oracle.

Reading your result

Read the joint message before opening the five illustrated explanations. The human conditions describe a symbolic standpoint, never your worth or social rank. Use the resource and attitude together to choose a modest action suited to the theme.
