The Oracle Belline

One day in the 1950’s a famous French clairvoyant and medium named Marcel Belline happened upon a suitcase in a client’s attic which was full of rare books and manuscripts. Amongst the papers he found this magical Oracle that now bears his name. It turned out that it was originally created a century earlier by one Jules Charles Ernest Billaudot, who was known by his magical name Mage Edmond. Mage Edmond was a celebrated seer working in Paris – as coincidence would have it in the very same street that Belline now had his office.

The 52-card Oracle Belline is a unique divination tool structured around the 7 planets known to the ancient world. Its quirky, often humorous, images give this deck an immediate charm. It has a clear, direct and predictive voice, while its planetary framework lends the oracle subtlety, texture, and depth. This book reflects these qualities in its teaching style, guiding the learner to skilled practitioner in simple, accessible steps.

The Oracle Belline is the most popular oracle in French-speaking countries. Largely unknown elsewhere, this remarkable deck deserves to be more widely recognized.
