The Midwest Gothic Oracle Deck
Collaboration between Alexandra Tinsley and Myself Year: 2024
What started as a joke between two internet pals, turned into a successful Kickstarter campaign and beautifully illustrated 38-card deck.
Inspired by our Midwestern upbringing and deep love of creepy vibes, and liminal spaces, Alex Tinsley and I created an oracle deck together.
The deck is for those who know that the church ladies are not to be trusted, that the deer answer only to their own gods, and that the space beyond the porch light’s furthest reaches is filled with unseen horrors.
Alex and I collaborated on what would represent all of the Midwest region. Alex wrote all the meanings of the cards, assisted with packaging design, and handled all the logistics. I illustrated all 38-cards (took me about a year!), created the visual assets for packaging and merch.
The deck is now available for purchase in my store, as well as at Howling Pages in Chicago.
