The Talisman Oracle deck explores the symbolism of our every day talismans, our good luck charms our comfort objects. The items we pin to our jackets and hang on our key chains, a silent armour carried with us as we go about our day to day. Items and symbols that people often carry with them, tucked away in a pocket or purse, or displayed on a bedroom shelf or office desk. Items that bring a small sense of comfort or familiarity to their owner. Using the symbolism around these different charms and every day objects we can perhaps meditate on what we are currently seeking. This deck can be used the same way as any oracle deck; you can use it in any spreads designed for oracle or tarot cards, or pull an individual card to focus on throughout the day or use alongside another tarot or oracle deck for larger spreads, there are no rules.
The 4 extra cards included contain multiple key words for each of the cards.
