Good day! Quick question: Do you enjoy the daily oracle card?
If you follow Parting the Mists on Facebook or Twitter, you know that an oracle card is pulled every day. It started as a Samhain season thing, so I picked my beloved Halloween Oracle deck for this. Followers seem to resonate with this deck, but lately I have felt that a change up was needed.
And yes, I had only planned to do the daily card from September through November, but I’ve enjoyed posting the card and would like to continue.
Anyway, here are three decks that feel like good options:
Druid Animal Oracle
Authors Philip Carr-Gomm and Stephanie Carr-Gomm with artists Will Worthington
This was my very first deck when, as a solitary Pagan, I was brave enough to go into a New Age/Witchy shop and buy a deck! Being drawn to Druidry at the time (and that’s never gone away though I went in another direction as a tradition) and having a lifelong love of animals, this was the perfect choice for me.
Though I don’t consider this a “wintry” deck, I tend to think of it as an all-around good deck, particularly for those with strong animal associations.
Wildwood Tarot
Authors Mark Ryan and John Matthews with artist Will Worthington
You might notice a trend here – I also love decks with artwork by Will Worthington (I have a third and gave a fourth to a friend). However, this is a tarot deck that’s not like traditional tarot, so I think it would still work well for a daily drawing. It draws much on Celtic myths and achetypes.
Oracle of Oddities, 2nd edition
Author and designer Claire Goodchild of Black and the Moon
OK, this is brave of me to offer because this deck is pretty new to me (I just won it during the Great October Book Giveaway over at Rue & Hyssop – thanks, Jen!). On top of that, it is quite a unique deck and doesn’t have a book. If there was a short write up with the daily card, I would be the one writing it. This would be new for me, but I also think it would be a good push for my intuition.
Take a gander at these dark and lovely cards. Also stay tuned for a review of this deck soon.
So which is it? Druid Animal Oracle, Wildwood Tarot, or Oracle of Oddities? Or, do you really want to say with The Halloween Oracle? Please let me know in comments!
Blessings,
