"Dark" Oracle?

I love pairing my tarot decks with oracles. I just started working with the Archeon, but I'm having trouble pairing it up with an oracle. I used the Madame Endora today, but it just didn't seem a good mate for some reason. Any ideas for a "dark" oracle?

Well, I only have one "oracle" and that's the Runic "Tarot", which is definitely not dark ! But just off the top of my head, how about the Luman: Dreaming in Colour?

I think I recall another, but it's running away from my daylight-savings-muddled brain, so I'll have to come back with that one!

ETA: Ah, here it is! It's called a Tarot, but, well, "recognisable Trumps and a Fool"? Just an idea, anyway. The Chaos Tarot

What about:

Graven Images
Well Worn Path/Hidden Path
Soul Cards (not dark per se but..)

ps
These might go well w/Archeon?

Kat and FantasyWorld,
Thanks for all the suggestions. I have the Luman deck, but I've paired it with the Illuminated Tarot because they both have tons of color. I love the Chaos one though... Will have to keep my eye on that one to see if it gets published.
FantasyWorld, I can't believe I forgot about the Graven Images one! Thanks for the reminder - and it's supposed to out now I believe!
Great suggestions you two!

Psycards from US Games should be a good match with the Archeon

Ogham Celtic Oracle goes nicely with it, as does the Fairy Ring Oracle. They both have a darker side to them and are nice autumnal decks.

Thanks Papageno and HC! I'm waiting on the Fairy Ring in the mail now (got it for a song on ebay ).

Which song? Hehehehee....

Froud's Faeries certainly would go nicely, too!

The Endora maybe? Its not really dark, but fairly gothic, and made by the same folks as the Gothic Tarot.

She said in her original post she had used the Madame Endora with it, but it didn't go well

I am awaiting the Fairy ring too! Though I am getting mine from TarotGarden.

I think the cards of the Ogham: The Celtic Oracle....the one from the artist Peter Pracownik are deliciously dark, full of depth and many cards have this kind of foreboding primalness about them. Besides that the art is exquisite.
