Synopsis

This captivating and velvety deck offers a rich exploration of traditional Indonesian myths through a feminine lens. Mira, deeply influenced by her Javanese heritage, invites us on an enchanting journey.

Inspired by folkloric Indonesian tales and Javanese magic beliefs, you may see a reflection of yourself through a different lens from these traditions. Mystic Islands Oracle will be your guide in living a magical and serene life, meditating on the Javanese philosophy of memayu hayuning bawana, or beautifying the beautiful world - in other words: finding harmony between the self, nature and the Divine, which are interconnected and have the power to affect one another and, ultimately, your reality.

The 44 cards of this fascinating deck are divided into five sections, each with special offerings or suggestions that you can incorporate into your personal rituals. The accompanying guidebook includes a visualisation practice that will help transition your mind from the chaos of daily life into a quieter and more focused state of being before using the cards.

About this title

About the Author

Mira Nurdianti was born in Indonesia and raised in the rich traditions of Javanese culture. Surrounded by family who taught her the philosophies, rituals, and symbolism of Javanese life—including the sacred slametan feasts that mark life’s milestones—Mira developed a deep connection to spiritual and cultural storytelling.

Now based in Sydney, Australia, she brings that heritage to life through her intricate fine liner illustrations, which she describes as a visual diary of reflection and inner strength. Mira also runs Melancholy Memento, an online gallery and shop showcasing artwork inspired by femininity, folklore, witchcraft, and a gentle sense of melancholia. Through her creations, she hopes to connect with others and help them discover their own quiet resilience—like a talisman carried in ink.
