Our latest release is Illuminor. This is a new reading system framework in an aged box, which can be used with any Tarot or oracle deck to give readings with a Bizarre/Alchemical flavor. But – it’s more than just a reading system: it features four reading systems which can be used together or separately. And, it includes a prediction effect as well.
Two of the systems use cabinet card-style ‘tiles’ which can be used in conjunction with Tarot or Oracle cards for a three card reading, as well as a daily overview. When turned over and put together, the tiles show a 4 x 4 matrix of alchemical images which comprise a third reading system, used with the supplied brass Full Moon coin and aged wooden dice. On the reverse of the box’s sliding lid is a pendulum board, for a fourth reading. And because I primarily build for entertainers, there is also a prediction that can be used to ‘get in tune’ with your sitter, or as a separate mentalism effect if desired.
The manual includes a section by Joshua Abraham (Café member Schaff), a reader with 25 years of experience doing readings for the public, at psychic fairs and private and corporate parties. Josh provides a structural framework that he uses which incorporates the four systems as well as the prediction. There is also a scripted section for the prediction effect.
With the set you get:
· Four aged cabinet-style ‘tiles’ which are a little larger than a standard Tarot card.
· A brass Full Moon coin (with both Light and Dark sides) for use with the Matrix reading system and prediction effect.
· Three aged wooden dice.
· An aged prediction parchment.
· An old key pendulum.
· A small cloth bag in which to keep the coin, dice, and pendulum.
· An aged wooden box with a sliding top. The top, when reversed and set in the top on the box, displays the pendulum board.
· A leather strap to secure the box.
· The box also has room for a full set of standard Rider-Waite or similar sized oracle cards (not included) in addition to the supplied items.
· A jump drive with the PDF manual, unboxing/set-up video, Arca-P pendulum box manual PDF (for pendulum board reference), and a printable graphic of the Matrix (if desired).
