The '''Sexcraft Oracle''' is a deck of [[oracle cards]] created by [[occultist]] [[Travis McHenry]] in 2023.

==''La Sorcière''==
''La Sorcière'' is a book on the history of [[witchcraft]] by French author Jules Michelet. The book was first published in 1862 and translated into English the following year. Michelet was one of the first few people to attempt to show the sociological explanation of the [[witch-hunt|Witch Trials]], although he viewed witchcraft as an act of rebellion against the power of the [[Christianity|Catholic Church]] in Europe.

Today the book is regarded as being largely inaccurate, but still notable for being one of the first sympathetic histories of witchcraft, and as such it may have had an indirect influence on [[Wicca]].

===Illustrations===
In 1911, a new edition of ''La Sorcière'' was published containing illustrations by French artist Martin van Maële. Some of these were complex, detailed works of art, while others were simple line drawings.

==Development==
McHenry began developing the deck in 2022 after receiving a copy of the 1911 edition of ''La Sorcière'' with van Maële's illustrations. He worked on turning the drawings into an [[oracle]] for six months, then spent an additional month coloring the drawings from their original black and white.

While creating the oracle deck, McHenry also wrote a companion book, ''[[SEXCRAFT]]'', which explores the relationship between society, religion, and sex. The second half of the book is a [[grimoire]] containing numerous [[sex magic]] rituals, including three versions of the [[Black Mass]].

==Content==
The Sexcraft Oracle is arranged like a deck of 52 playing cards and uses the classic French playing card suits. McHenry added [[astrology|astrological]] and [[alchemy|alchemical]] correspondences to the cards, giving them deeper meaning.

A 70-page guidebook included with the deck explains the meaning behind each of the cards and also provides strategies for reading with the deck.
