The Spore Oracle press kit
Everything a writer, editor, buyer or podcaster might need — bios, brand assets, cover art, sample card imagery and a direct line to the founder.
The one-liner
The Spore Oracle is a modern illuminated oracle system built on a mythology of fungi, moon glyphs and the Spiral Year — a 13-season calendar walked slowly, one draw at a time.
The longer story
The Spore Oracle began as a quiet act of observation — a personal way of marking the turning of the Spiral Year through the rhythms of fungi, the changing seasons, and the cycles of the moon. Over time it evolved into a complete mythological and reflective system, inviting others to explore nature, symbolism, and self-discovery through an original body of lore.
At its heart is a beautifully illustrated 36-card oracle deck, accompanied by a 153-page Journal for daily reflections, seasonal practice, and personal insight, and a 115-page Guidebook containing the canonical writings of the 13 Moon Glyphs, the 4 Threshold Archetypes, and the 13 Companion Spirits.
Those who join the Spiral Circle gain access to exclusive spreads, narrated audio draws, the evolving Codex, printable ritual resources, and a private community of fellow wanderers.
Everything within The Spore Oracle is created to feel less like modern software and more like discovering an ancient manuscript resting quietly beneath the forest canopy — waiting patiently for the next traveller to uncover it.
