Johannesburg · est. under this sky
A hoodie printed with the calendar wheel of the day you were born — point a phone at it and the wheel lifts off the cloth and reads itself. Build yours free below. Printed and delivered from Johannesburg.
01 / THE RITE
A consultation, in the old order, was never a conversation alone — it ended with an object. An amulet, a woven band, a mark. We kept the ending and changed the material. Your reading is computed from real ancient counts, drawn as a wheel, printed into cotton, and left readable by any phone that looks at it.
The counts are the Maya Tzolk'in and Haab; the staves are the Elder Futhark — named as theirs, used with respect, never claimed as ours. A reading is a mirror, not medicine, law or money advice. Every rune band is reviewed before print.
You give a name and a date. We run it through the 260-day sacred count, the 365-day year, the moon, and the rune-row. Nothing is invented; it all resolves the same way every time.
The result is drawn as a calendar wheel — tone, sign, month, phase, and your name in Elder Futhark around the hub. No two names land on the same wheel.
The wheel goes to the back panel; the sign goes to the chest; the hub goes on the pocket. It changes colour to the cloth it lands on. That is the chameleon.
Every wheel is an AR marker. Point a phone at a stranger's back and the wheel lifts off the cloth and turns. Your reading speaks itself, out loud, in the street.
02 / THE TECHNIQUES
Three of the instruments inside every wheel we print. Take one apart.
03 / THE INSTRUMENT
Give it a name and a date. It casts a wheel that belongs to nobody else, then changes its skin to whatever cloth you put it on — and the room changes with it.

Every figure below is computed from your date — the Tzolk'in and Haab positions are real calendrical arithmetic, not decoration.

04 / THE SCAN
Every wheel we print is a trackable marker. Open the scanner, hold a printed wheel in frame, and it lifts off the cloth, turns, and reads itself aloud. No app, no download — it runs in the browser you are already holding.
05 / THE CONSULTATION
It ends the way a consultation should: with something you can wear out of the room.
SHIPPA readings are a cultural and design practice. They are not medical, legal, financial or psychological advice, and we will say so again in the room.
06 / THE CASTINGS
Each piece is an AR-trackable artwork. Apparel, calendars, key holders — all of it reads.
07 / THE RACK
