The Tessera Oracle

The idea for the Tessera Oracle has been on my mind for a very long time, influenced by many different sources.

It started with a real passion for divination — originally oracle readings. That expanded out into runes, tarot readings, tea leaf readings, and palm readings.

I realized that one reason I kept expanding out to find different forms and tools is that none of the existing systems were fitting exactly right for me, so I studied the principles of fortune telling and divination across history and applied what I learned to create my own system.

I wanted to create a new way to use divination. Something special, and tactile, and precious. Something that was akin to the Tarot, but very simple and easy to learn, so that more people would experience that connection to their intuition and its power in everyday life.
