DanielJUK's topic in Tarot Decks
I finally realised that The Fairy Tale Tarot deck by Lisa Hunt is the same one Amazon has displayed for sale. I didn't realise that the Little Red Riding Hood (Innocence/The Fool) card is NOT the picture apparently depicted on the box this time. Anyway, I've been hoping to get this deck for a long time, so I ordered it. Should be here the middle of August sometime. I just know I'll love this deck, as I am an enthusiastic student of fairy/folk tales from around the world, and have a library of books that are collected tales, etc. It will also be great to use this deck in any future ISG group readings I participate in on the forum. I suspect this deck will read extremely well using 'intuition only.' The picture I've seen of the shoemaker's elves working under a full moon at night (The Ace of Pentacles) is just a glimpse of the potential this deck has, in terms of intuitive understanding.

RavenOfSummer's topic in Oracles
I am reviving this thread because I just found out… rather belatedly, I guess… that there is an edition, called Wild Wisdom Collection, including all three of Maia Toll’s oracles: the Illustrated Herbiary, the Illustrated Bestiary and the Illustrated Cristallary. I neved had any of her decks, but I like the art very much (at least what I have seen online), so this collection seems interesting. But I’d like some first-hand accounts to help me decide... if anyone has had an experience with the decks (any of them), I’d love to hear about it! Thank you!
Year published: 2015, based on a deck created in 1751
This is a limited edition facsimile deck of 3000 copies, originally created in 1751 by Swiss Tarot de Marseilles craftsman Claude Burdel, and recreated by Yves Reynaud. The facsimile is based on an original preserved in the Museum of Civilizations and the Mediterranean Sea – in Marseilles, wrapped in the reproduction of an original sheet of packing.
An intuitive, botanical Oracle deck rooted in mythology and infused with plant magick, the Pythia Botanica offers 48 cards that have been hand-illustrated and tea-stained by Nicole Rallis of Leila + Olive.
We invoke the myth of the Pythia, an ancient priestess whose visions channeled prophecies from Hellenic gods. Also known as the Oracle of Delphi, her divinations were steeped in mystery and enigmatic wonder―a trusted presage that loomed in the hearts of all who sought to persist against fate. Each card derives from personal meaning rooted in mythology surrounding the adorning herbs and flowers. Read these cards in traditional Tarot spreads and allow the spirit of these plants to guide you.
The Pythia Botanica Oracle Deck includes:
- 48 hand-illustrated and tea-stained cards.
- Beautiful, durable cards with Antique Gold gilded edges.
- A 54-page guidebook that fits inside the box, with instructions on how to read these cards, corresponding botanical illustrations and meanings.
- A sturdy, two piece box to carry your deck and guidebook wherever you may travel.
