REVIEW: PLAYING CARD ORACLES by Ana Cortez – CJ Freeman

These visually arresting cards printed in four processed colours are dramatic. They have a mysterious element that invokes reflection and insight into situations.

FACTS
52 Oracle Card Deck

- Displays illustration with the suit symbols
- Reveals the lessons to learn in life and events taking place.

Court Cards
Can represent people that are part of events and circumstances that are revealed by the pips cards.
Each Cards:
- Display illustration, suit, number and title

Suits
- Diamonds – Clubs – Hearts - Spades
Each suit:
- represents one of the four essential aspects to life
- linked to an element and key concepts.

The Playing Card Oracles comes with an instruction booklet which gives “hint” meanings for each card to encourage the reader to use their own intuition. It also includes examples of two variations of a four card spread and detailed instructions to understand significance to the card positions.


Samples of entries from the instruction booklet:
Ace of Sades: Terra Incognita
Death may mean an end to things as we know them, as well as the unearthing of secrets.

Ace of Hearts: Agana
The heart may be a lonely hunter, like this bird of prey, seeking to fulfill it's basic needs. `but it is also a creature of desire, thirsting for and devouring affection, nesting where it finds love.

12 of Spades: Leah
Because Leah's domain is in a black suit, her powers are symbolic of night energy. Leah rules the dreaming, mystery and knowledge of the conscious mind.

13 of Diamonds: King Leo
This card represents a mover and shaker, who takes charge and changes things. Leo is also a big money card.



The Playing Card Oracles have a different energy that focuses very much on dynamics and can be used by anyone seeking insight from the ancient art of playing card divination.
