Who we are

Oracle & Opale is an independent online shop for tarot and oracle decks, stones and ritual objects. It was born from a simple idea: to let you choose a first deck or a first stone without getting lost.

Why this site exists

When you start taking an interest in tarot, stones or the pendulum, the beginning often looks like this: hundreds of listings that look alike, promises that cannot be checked and very few simple answers. Is this deck in your language? Is this stone natural, dyed or heat-treated? Should you begin with a tarot deck or an oracle deck?

We wanted to build the site that answers these questions before anyone has to ask them. Hence our approach: a free guide at every step. Choosing your deck, understanding the 22 Major Arcana, getting started with a pendulum, getting to know your stones: it can all be read without buying anything, and the shop is only there for what comes next.

Why “Oracle & Opale”?

The name brings together the shop's two main departments: the oracle, for the cards, and the opal, for the stones. Opal is known for a play of colour that shifts with the light; an oracle, too, is read differently depending on who is holding it. Two ways of looking, of interpreting, of taking a moment for yourself.

What we do differently

The language of the cards, always stated

A tarot deck in German is not a tarot deck in French. Each deck page states the language of the cards, and the site can be read in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian.

The material, as it really is

Natural stone, glass, resin, wood or metal: the product page says which. We do not sell an imitation under the name of a natural stone.

Symbolism, not promises

Stones and cards have a long symbolic tradition, and that is what we share. We promise no healing, no prediction and no result: a stone never replaces a doctor.

Complete product pages

Material, dimensions, contents, care: the essentials are on the page, explained without jargon, so that you can buy with confidence.

How we work

Oracle & Opale is an online-only shop: we have no physical store, and we prefer to say so plainly. We choose the decks, stones and jewellery from the catalogues of specialist European suppliers. Most items do not pass through our hands: they ship straight from the supplier's warehouse, in a plain parcel, with a tracking number. This lets us offer a wide choice; in return, the delivery time depends on the warehouse concerned. Everything is detailed on the Delivery page.

Who is behind the site? The company's legal details (identity, SIREN number, address, e-mail) are given in our legal notice. Our rules on materials, photos and safety are explained in Our commitments.
