Aeon418 replied to Aeon418's topic in ThothUnfortunately, yes, I did buy it. Despite my reservations I was prepared to give Barlow a second hearing. But like the old adage goes: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. 😔 -

Pythia Botanica Oracle
48 cards. By Nichole Rallis of Leila + Olive. Independently published.
Can be purchased here: Leila + Olive (US) or here Little Red Tarot (UK)
From the creators website:
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.
