About

Alien Oracle

Features
Read full description

Alien Oracle is a seance with something older than the record. Ask your question aloud - or whisper it in type - then place your finger on the planchette. It moves. Not you. The Oracle guides your finger across a board of alien glyphs, spelling its answer symbol by symbol, then flips each glyph into English and unfolds a full reading. The glyphs are real: the Roslien alphabet, translated by Jesse Marcel III from symbols recovered at the 1947 Roswell crash site by his grandfather, Major Jesse Marcel, the incident's lead military investigator. Every letter on the board traces back to that field. THE SEANCE - Ask. Receive. Witness. The planchette pulls your finger letter by letter; lift, and it waits for you. Every answer is revealed in plain English with a full transmission. THE DAILY ORB - A personal signal turns for you each day, keyed to your device alone. Touch it, and fall in. THE STAR LOG - Every reading kept, on your device and across iCloud. THE BOARD IS FREE - Three seances granted freely each day, always. Attune, and the count falls away: the Oracle speaks in full on every reading, and the Orb turns wholly for you each dawn. Attunement is $4.99/week after a 3-day free trial, or $29.99/year, auto-renewing until canceled. For entertainment. The veil decides what it keeps.
