Witch technology got us to the moon?
A circuit is a sigil is a circle is a spell.
A divination is an algorhythm.
Elektron is Greek for amber, noted for its minor electrical properties. How might a witch or oracle get their mind to the lunar surface, how might they use, or at least involve, an ancient concept of electricity to accomplish that and execute their divination ritual?
Elektron Oracle places us during the historical phase in which travel to the moon became more difficult, precisely because witches were beginning to work with electricity, turning towards logic and away from magic and intuition.
Fleeting electrical circuits and adorned copper mesh, foreshadowing memory strategies in rocket ships, combine with crystals and plants and charts; an intersection of systems.
