A unique divination deck based on the authentic backwoods traditions, folklore, and superstitions of Appalachia. For centuries, people living in Appalachia have used homemade playing cards for fortune-telling and dream interpretation. This tradition has arisen over many generations of backwoods conjurers, grannie witches, and yarb doctors.The Conjure Cards fortune-telling deck was created by Jake Richards (author of Backwoods Witchcraft ) and fashioned after the folklore, superstitions, and dream symbols that he grew up with in western North Carolina. Jake offers these common Appalachian methods of divination paired with the honored pastime of sharing and interpreting dreams.Note from the Cards are just a tad bigger than standard playing cards, but smaller than standard oracle/tarot cards (4 1/4 inches tall, 3 inches wide; a standard playing card is 3.5 inches x 2.5 inches, so there's only about a half inch difference in height and width). Each card was drawn by hand by the creator, as such one card does contain an error, which was decided to be kept under Appalachian tradition, in which every craft or handiwork was left with an imperfection as a signature of the artist.
