New Spread Mats in the Shop

Reading mats are here! I’ve restored two antiquarian plates and made them into spread mats, which I'm offering for the first time in the shop! They're nice and large at 16" x 20" (406mm x 508mm).

​Fabric with rubberized base, they’re perfect for tarot, oracle, Lenormand, Rune, or dice divination.

I love these mats because they’re non-slip, stay flat, have a smooth surface, and roll up easily for storage. I keep one on my reading desk at all times. I have amassed a small collection of them in various sizes & designs, which I created for personal use (except when I offered one as a stretch goal in the Divine Muses Oracle's Kickstarter). More photos below:

I've decided to release these two designs to begin with. I may consider offering more in the future.

Here’s some info on them:

🪐 Celestial Spheres (1st photo): 18th century French illustration of the Seven Celestial Spheres with Earth at the center.

🪐The original plate is antique and has an aged patina. This distressing is mostly seen in the border, but it can also be seen in the artwork. For example, there are splotches in the spheres that I did not clean up when I restored it to preserve the antique vibe.

🪐 The border will be slightly smaller than the mat shown in the prototype photo (3rd photo).

🌙 Moon Magic (2nd photo): 18th century illustration of the Moon, and Jupiter & Saturn and their moons. There's also a diagram of Venus as she revolves around the Sun at the top of the mat.
⠀
🌙 There was foxing on the original plate, which I left to keep the antique patina vibe. (Foxing is a type of age-related reddish-brown spotting found in antique books and other old paper documents.) Please keep this in mind when ordering this one. The mat was printed with the foxing!
⠀
🌙 Antique linen / ivory (Color may vary from monitor to monitor.)
⠀
Reading mats will be rolled up and shipped in a recyclable poly mailer. If you order another item in the shop, chances are the reading mat will be shipped separately, due to its size.
⠀
I hope you will enjoy these two new offerings from Divine Muses.
