The Wild Unknown Alchemy
The final addition to Kim Krans's New York Times bestselling The Wild Unknown tarot and oracle collection invites you to discover the ancient mysteries of Alchemy.
The Wild Unknown collection has redefined tarot for the twenty-first century. Kim Krans's latest deck offers a journey to discovering the gold within.
Alchemy weaves together the physical and mystical aspects of our lives. The planets, metals, colors, and seasons act as symbols for reflection and open the gateway to the imagination. Now, in this stunning new oracle deck, Krans introduces the magic of alchemy to all those willing to explore, observe, and invoke transformation.
Sitting within a beautiful keepsake box lies a 224-page hand-lettered, fully illustrated guidebook that demystifies the esoteric world of Alchemy, and 71 easy-to-shuffle hexagon cards divided into six suits: The Cosmic Forces, The Colors, The Seasons, The Materials, The Mysteries, and The Operations.
- An alchemical oracle for self-discovery: This richly symbolic deck invites readers to explore transformation, creativity, relationships, and the deeper patterns shaping everyday life.
- Art by Kim Krans: Exquisite linework and luminous watercolor imagery bring alchemical concepts to life in the unmistakable style of The Wild Unknown series.
- New spreads for deeper readings: Original layouts—including The Tria Prima and The Alchemical Union—offer fresh ways to examine a situation, uncover hidden dynamics, and consider the forces at work within a relationship.
- A deck designed for connection: The cards' distinctive shape allows images to meet, overlap, and transform, creating intuitive visual relationships during a reading.
- The final volume in a bestselling series: A striking companion to The Wild Unknown Tarot, Animal Spirit, and Archetypes decks—and an essential addition for collectors of Kim Krans's work.
- For modern mystics & curious seekers: An inspired gift for experienced readers, oracle beginners, artists, spiritual explorers, and anyone drawn to personal reflection and growth.

Shipping: Some products require additional processing time because they may be handmade or individually prepared, sourced through one of our suppliers or distributors, or otherwise require additional preparation before dispatch.
This can include, but is not limited to, tarot and oracle decks, books, select singing bowls and other sound-healing instruments, handmade bracelets and malas, and other supplier-sourced or individually prepared products.
Supplier-sourced products may be fulfilled from Zen Collection's available inventory or sourced through one of our suppliers or distributors after your order is placed. When a supplier-sourced item is not physically on hand, please allow approximately 3–15 business days before dispatch, excluding weekends and holidays. This is an estimate only and is not a guaranteed dispatch or delivery timeframe.
Handmade bracelets, malas, and other handmade or individually prepared products may also require additional processing time for making, assembling, sizing, restringing, finishing, or other preparation before they are ready to dispatch.
Website availability or an “In Stock” status may include inventory available through our supplier or distributor network and does not necessarily mean the item is physically on hand at our Barrie store or ready for immediate dispatch.
Supplier inventory and lead times can change without notice. Products may occasionally become temporarily unavailable, backordered, allocated, delayed, discontinued, reprinted, revised, repackaged, or otherwise affected by supplier-side changes.
During holidays, promotional periods, high-volume sales events, supplier delays, or other periods of increased demand, sourcing, handmade preparation, order processing, and dispatch may take longer than the usual estimates.
Carrier transit time is additional and begins only after your order has been dispatched. Carrier delivery estimates are also not guaranteed by Zen Collection.
If your purchase is a gift, needed for a specific date, or otherwise time-sensitive, please contact Zen Collection before placing your order. We strongly recommend ordering well in advance rather than waiting until the last minute.
Zen Collection cannot guarantee arrival by a specific date and does not accept rush-order requests or guarantee priority sourcing, making, preparation, or processing.
