The Magic Lantern Sibilla: Learn to Read Vera Sibilla Oracle

The first English-language kit to teach the ancient Italian Vera Sibilla oracle — one of the most accurate and time-tested cartomancy systems in the world.

The Magic Lantern Sibilla brings together a richly illustrated 52-card deck by artist Anastasia Kashian and a comprehensive 352-page guidebook by renowned author Caitlín Matthews into a complete year-long learning course for the traditional Italian Vera Sibilla oracle — published in English for the very first time.

La Vera Sibilla is a cartomancy tradition with centuries of reputation behind it: a shrewd, direct system with the particular quality of telling the truth. It works with playing card suits and named character archetypes drawn from everyday Italian life — Friend, Scholar, Rival, Soldier, Falsehood — depicted here in Kashian's gorgeous watercolor illustrations of Victorian interior scenes, rich with period detail and warm storytelling energy.

Matthews's guidebook is not simply a card meanings reference — it is a structured learning course, designed to progressively build a beginner's reading skills card by card, spread by spread, over the course of a full year. Whether your question is love, work, family, or the unexpected, this system is designed to deliver strikingly clear and accurate readings from day one and deepen significantly with practice.
