The Year of the Fire Horse carries momentum, courage, and creative heat- the kind of energy that moves fast and burns bright.

May your ideas catch light, may your steps be bold, and may your hands be strong and steady to rein in the spark of inspiration that is sure to turn into wildfire.

A most auspicious Chinese New Year to everyone! 🧧 We're in for quite a ride. 🔥🐎

An ode to 90s MTV aesthetic

13/01/2026

Sharing our latest creative project which will launch on Kickstarter:

Tarot of Lucent Echoes began as a tribute to the MTV era that shaped our formative years. While we were creating it, without our knowing, MTV quietly aired its final broadcast on the last day of 2025. That shifted the heart of this project, and now this project has become an even more poignant piece of history for us.

The artwork draws from the aesthetic of 90s music videos, where saturated color, drifting focus, and striking settings carried a raw mix of youthful angst and fragile hope - the emotional current of that time.

Each card also features a thoughtful philosophical quote related to the card meaning as part of the artwork, rendered in the aesthetic of those times through a Dymo label-inspired font.
----

Launching with the tarot deck are four companion oracle decks we have crafted, three which feature in-house developed systems by our studio - a testament to our studio's drive for creative experimentation, be it in the arts, or in lore thought-experiments.

NINE PALACES VISITATIONS ORACLE
A system developed in-house which we call Wǔ Yóu Jiǔ Gōng, this oracle integrates the ancient Luo Shu Square of Chinese tradition to navigate the flow of energy and destiny.

ORACLE OF THE CELESTIAL SPHERES
Drawing from ancient Islamic cosmology, this original oracle system which we call Almalfalach, explores the Nine Celestial Spheres to offer guidance from the heavens.

LUCENT ECHOES PLAYING CARD ORACLE
Our playing card system synthesizing traditional playing card reading techniques into a modern, cohesive method for clarity and insight.

LUCENT ECHOES LENORMAND (WITH FREE ZODIAC ORACLE)
Classic Lenormand symbolism featuring our Lucent Echoes aesthetic. Comes with a standalone Zodiac Oracle which can also be used together with the Lenormand deck.

We’re so excited to share these aesthetic tributes to our youth with you soon on Kickstarter. Do come visit our Kickstarter - link in our bio, and via the QR code on the last picture in this post.

Thanks so much!

Divination and devotion aren’t just about aesthetics; they’re the backbone of any real spiritual path.

Reading the cards, casting lots, or carrying a charm isn’t about predicting the future; it’s about aligning with it- listening deeper, seeing clearer, moving with intention.

That’s why Studio Balaghàn creates divination tools and devotional items for seekers and makers of meaning.

We have tarot, lenormand, and oracle decks; starter kits for beginners; and hand-made amulets and talismans to anchor your practice in the everyday.

🜂 Find our creations tomorrow (Sunday, Oct 19), 10 AM - 8 PM, at the Mystic Market in Bayanihan Center, Pasig City!

We’re at Table 94, represented by our sister studio Paraluman Studio, to the right of the main entrance, sharing space with our good friend Amurru / Regular Oracle.

Come by, say hi, and touch the magic. 🖤✨

✨🔮 From the Vaults of Magick, They Come… 🔮✨

This October 4th, the circle widens as Studio Balaghan joins us at Mystival. Their table will be no ordinary stall, but a trove of secrets and symbols: tarot and lenormands, oracles and runes, ogham staves, charms, amulets, talismans, and curious ephemera.

Each piece whispers of ancient paths and unseen worlds, waiting for the seeker bold enough to listen. Perhaps you will draw the card that shifts your journey, or find the talisman that feels as though it has been waiting centuries to rest in your palm.

For one day only, the doors between worlds are thinner.

Come, wander, discover, and let magick choose you.
