Oracular Origins
Choose-your-own-adventure interactive storytelling, with modern oracle characters and a big splash of mythic humor.
Come play by the magic seam that runs just beneath the surface of the everyday.
This is a place where oracular characters will find you, each with their own stories. Those that draw your attention have chosen you to share their story - because in some way it’s your story, too.
Hi, I’m Bailey! I’m an award-winning storyteller, interactive hybrid artist, and fabulist author. My work comes out of the magic seam that runs beneath the surface of the everyday world. This is choose-your-own-adventure style interactive storytelling that collides the seemingly mundane with the mystical, magical, and otherworldly.
The stories here jump off the page and onto your coffee table. I’ve taken my decades of award-winning story writing into 3D form to bring these wild, surreal, mythic adventures with unexpected messengers straight into your actual, personal world.
This is a place where:
an unexpected oracle will speak to you with ancient laughter in its voice and share a story that somehow is your modern story, too
the old stories still reverberate with mythic humor and rearrange themselves in ways that are strange and totally relatable
unexpected encounters with messengers of great fortune celebrate you for who you already are and who you may yet become
What I send back to you from the magic seam
Oracle Mail: Surprise emails from the oracle characters with story picks, new arrivals and dispatches from the place where the everyday collides with the surreal, the mythic, and the otherwordly
Tangible Magic in The Oracle Room: Where oracular characters and messengers of great fortune wait for those lucky people their stories are meant to find - who knows, one of them may be waiting to ride home with you.
New Library Arrivals: Right now, oracular characters are arriving with new stories every week inside the Oracle Library
New Myths from the Old Stories and Old Myths Made New: Every work you encounter here is my original writing, concepts, characters, artwork, and handmade creation. This is slow art. There is nothing mass-produced about it. We are here to have the most fun wondering at our own existence and at the same time, I am a fine artist by degree and by trade. I am a Pushcart Prize nominee. My fiction has been listed on The Wigleaf Top 50. My storytelling art has won grants and fellowships and international prizes.
Our adventurous story games here will always be created with high-caliber, high-concept stories and art pieces that are made possible by my years of study, expertise, and practice of my craft.
For me, everything is that deep. Not everything is that serious. But I take you seriously, and I take my concepts seriously. I’ve been doing this for a very long time, so even while the magic runs wild, the cosmic encounters are zany, and the whimsy is strong - you can trust that your interaction with the stories is deeply and thoughtfully designed for you to have a really fun, meaningful, surprising time with it all.
Okay?! This is quality ish. And we get to put our fingers on it. My favorite kind.
Come play.
