Oscan Oracle Deck

The Oscan Oracle is many things. It is the story of recovering a spiritual lineage from Italy that was lost in the great migrations of the early 20th century. It is also a reference guide meant to accompany a divination system, akin to a tarot deck or ancient rune stones. It is Oscan because we, Theresa and Rauri, discovered that our ancestors, the Janarra, were Oscan-speaking peoples. This oracle is made up of the letters of the Oscan alphabet. Ancient alphabets carry power. The Oscan language was actively spoken in regions of what is now Italy, in pre-Roman times, from 600 BCE–1 CE. The Oscan people were not the only people to speak Oscan; it was the language of many ancient peoples. Among them were the Oscan-speaking Samnites—our ancient ancestors from the pre-Roman era.
