An internationally recognized expert in Feng Shui and a range of Chinese spiritual practices, Vicki Iskandar is set to captivate Tarot enthusiasts and seekers of mystical wisdom during Tarot Week at Vitello’s Haunted Velvet Martini Lounge. At 6 p.m. on October 22, Vicki unveils her divination prowess and introduces her transformative oracle deck based on the five Chinese elements.

The enchanting event unfolds within the newly renovated Velvet Martini Lounge, a remodeled space upstairs at 4349 Tujunga Avenue, Studio City, CA 91604. While admission is free, there will be a $35 order minimum per person, ensuring everyone partakes in Vitello’s fantastic food and the lounge’s famous cocktails.

Hay House/Penguin Random House’s The Chinese Five Elements Oracle, released October 10, aligns perfectly with the forthcoming Halloween festivities, holiday gift-giving season, and insightful Lunar New Year divinations slated for next February.

Vicki Iskandar’s journey into the depths of Chinese spiritual traditions began in 2012 when she ventured into the realm of BaZi/Four Pillars of Destiny, the I-Ching, Qigong, and the ancient art of Qi Men Dun Jia. This exploration and her role as a digital marketing consultant in the LOHAS (Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) sector have enriched her understanding and mastery of these profound practices.

The Chinese Five Elements Oracle, illustrated with stunning details by Candice Soon, elegantly marries traditional theories and Taoist wisdom with a modern East-meets-West perspective. This oracle deck is designed to be accessible to novices and seasoned practitioners, offering layers of meaning within each card. Whether just starting with oracle cards or deeply immersed in Chinese Metaphysics, these cards will resonate.

Born in Indonesia to parents of Chinese heritage, Vicki’s upbringing exposed her to diverse spiritual traditions and customs. Her path into metaphysics commenced with Western astrology in 2000, following her graduate degree in business. However, her ancestral call led her to delve into Taoism, Qigong, and Chinese metaphysics, recognizing their profound relevance and healing potential in today’s fast-paced world.

Vicki’s passion for writing led her to contribute to print and digital publications, stemming from her MBA in Marketing from New York University. She initiated her professional journey in 2001 as an editor for global fashion magazines, including her role as a founding editor at Harper’s Bazaar Singapore.
