I’ll be honest.
Animal oracle decks and I don’t mix well. All readers resonate with various types of
decks and this is why there is such a vast variety in publication today. There is a deck (or two, or thrity-five) for
each of us interested in consulting and reading cards. In the past decks with
animals or plants just haven’t jived with me, except for Lisa Hunt’s Animal’s
Divine Tarot. However, I have now found
a second nature deck with which I resonate, Nature’s Wisdom Oracle.
Right out of the box, Nature’s Wisdom Oracle began
providing me with clear and concise single-card answers to my questions. I find that for me personally I only need to
draw a single card using this deck, yet the deck can naturally be used for
multi-card readings as well.
The cards measure 3 ½ X 5”, printed on a firm yet
flexible cardstock with a light yet durable laminate. The colors are lovely and range from pretty
muted pastels to bright and bold. The energy
of the colors used corresponds with the energy of the animal or plant
depicted. Borders are unique to each
card and consist either of a muted larger version of the image on the card or a
muted emphasis of one aspect of the image. For example, the card Sea Turtle (I
really LOVE sea turtles!), has a larger version of the sea turtle in the border
while a card like Pineapple has as its border an enlarged version of a small
detail of the pineapple image. Two
cards, Honey Bee and Lady Bug, have a repeating motif of the insect along the
card’s border. Card backs consist of the
image of a leaf and are not reversible, but this deck doesn’t offer reversed
interpretations. 
The paperback guidebook is the same size as the cards and
has 104 pages. The introductory section
includes information on how to use the deck, a daily meditation, and the 3-card
Past, Present, Future spread. Card
interpretations are accompanied by a near-full page size black and white illustration
of the card.
The packaging consists of a very sturdy laminated thick
cardboard box with fitted lid measuring 3 7/8 X 5 ¼”. The cards nor the box should show any signs
of wear for quite some time to come.
I strongly recommend this deck not only to those of you
who are animal and nature lovers, but also to anyone who is new to reading
cards or desires an oracle that gives quick, easy, and concise answers to their
questions.
Wishing You Many Blessings,
