The New Southern Gothic Oracle – Expanded 2025 Edition

A best-selling indie oracle deck inspired by the folklore, symbols, and spirit of the American South

The New Southern Gothic Oracle – Expanded 2025 Edition is a richly atmospheric 50-card oracle deck rooted in the folklore, landscapes, and lived mythologies of the American South. First released via Kickstarter in 2021, this artist-made indie deck has sold over 3,500 copies worldwide and earned 2,000+ five-star reviews on Etsy, becoming a modern classic within the oracle community.

Re-issued for 2025, this expanded edition features borderless cards, an unabridged full-colour guidebook, and five new cards, deepening the original system while preserving its distinctive voice and visual power. This deck is the first of three in the Southern Gothic Oracle Trilogy, and forms the foundation upon which the companion decks build.

Drawing on the diverse folkways of the South, the Southern Gothic Oracle explores archetypal symbols through hand-painted illustrations of animals, places, and objects. Each card carries layered meaning, tapping into themes of memory, place, resilience, longing, and spiritual inheritance.

“Whether you’re sipping sweet tea in a graveyard or lighting candles on a stormy night, The Southern Gothic Oracle is ready to read the signs right alongside you.”
— Mystic Dylan, author

Created and illustrated by Stacey Williams‑Ng, the deck blends emotional depth with symbolic clarity, making it equally suited to daily pulls, reflective readings, and layered narrative spreads.

The Southern Gothic Oracle works beautifully on its own and seamlessly alongside The Southern Botanic Oracle and The Haunts Oracle, with no overlap in meanings across the trilogy.
