Böcker av Claire Goodchild

The essential tarot kit for modern mystics.

Author and artist Claire Goodchild created this deck as a tool to teach the archetypes of astrology with art inspired by vintage star charts and cards featuring the zodiac signs, the twelve houses, and the planets, moon phases, and more. The term oracle encompasses all card decks used for divination, which are typically used for fortunetelling as a way to get advice on a situation, seek answers to a problem, and to better yourself.

Through a combination of text and illustration, The Book of Ancestors explores the history of traditional genealogy topics, such as "how to research and build a family tree" and "the history of cemeteries." Alongside these practical measures, Claire provides rituals, spells, and crafts from her own personal practice, drawing on the British and Slavic traditions of her heritage, alongside contributions from fellow witches including Codi Popovich and Marjorie from The Punk Priestess for a broader, more enriched lens. As the text progresses, Claire guides her readers through the creation their own "Book of Ancestors," a family grimoire of sorts, blending together their own ancestral legacies with witchcraft that can be passed down to future family. Visually, The Book of Ancestors pairs with The Book of Seances, containing witchy, esoteric, and funerary images in a Victorian style with lots of floral embellishments and classic colors. Whether a seasoned witch, or a newcomer to the spirit world, readers will walk away from The Book of Ancestors feeling empowered to perform their own rituals and spells, research family history, and form a lasting relationship with those who came before.
