Oracular Origins

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Found Oracles is an interactive choose-your-own-adventure style storytelling experience made entirely by award-winning author and interactive storyteller Bailey Lewis, out of the Bailey Sends Word Story Studio.

  • Yes! Everything you see here was created by one storyteller, Bailey Lewis out of her Bailey Sends Word Story Studio. That includes the concepts, card collage art, the stories, the narrative design, the interactive components, and the website itself.

  • No, because the oracles are not primarily cards in the sense of being an “oracle” deck or “oracle cards.” Instead, they are a library index into a storytelling world. There will be ways to take that world home with you soon though - check back!

  • No. While this concept plays with the format of oracle cards, Bailey Lewis is a professional storyteller, not a card reader and this is an interactive storytelling site, not a card reading service.

  • The Found Oracles are oracular characters, each with a story to share with the person who chooses to receive it. In the world of oracles, an “oracle” is anything from the everyday world that carries an unexpected truth - ancient as myth itself, yet as relevant to modern life as can be.

  • No, not without written permission from Bailey Sends Word Story Studio. All oracle characters, concepts, stories, artwork, and writing are the intellectual property of the artist, Bailey Lewis, and Bailey Sends Word LLC. This is proprietary work offered for personal enjoyment, but all rights belong to the artist.

  • Yes, Bailey Sends Word Story Studio is open to aligned partnerships and collaborations. Please note that all creative is studio-directed and published with attribution to Bailey Lewis / Bailey Sends Word Story Studio, meaning that projects looking for ghostwriting, freelance work, or storytelling created for a pre-determined brief are unlikely to be a good fit.
