Witchy oracle cards are a unique and mystical tool used for divination and spiritual guidance. Drawing inspiration from the world of witchcraft, these cards are designed to tap into the energy of the universe and provide insight into various aspects of life. Unlike traditional tarot cards, witchy oracle cards are not bound by a specific structure or set of meanings. Each deck is created by an artist or a group of creators who infuse their personal interpretation of witchcraft and magic into the imagery and symbolism of the cards. This allows for a diverse range of themes and aesthetics that cater to different spiritual beliefs and interests. The cards themselves typically feature beautiful illustrations that depict scenes and symbols associated with witchcraft, such as spellcasting, elemental energies, mystical creatures, and sacred herbs.
In the meantime, I’ve brewed and bottled some of the Academy’s brightest teachings to create this exclusive deck, only available on Kickstarter.
Through exercises involving images from the tarot, sigils, everyday rituals, daily practice, and movement, readers will rediscover their Witchy bodies and the magic that flows through them and permeates the world around them. If ever you have yearned for moon-kissed mysteries, kinship with wildflowers, and ecstatic connections with Nature and her cycles, you have felt a witch s wisdom stirring within.
