The Literary Witches Oracle: A 70-Card Deck and Guidebook: Oracle Cards

I love the cardstock it isn't thin and It doesn't seem like it would bend easily, the cards have a nice canvas-like feel and the images are cute (besides the people which are a little creepy) but overall this deck is amazing and very open to your own intuition when interpreting. The guidebook isn't as detailed or thick as most but the deck is almost the same amount (8 cards less than a regular tarot deck). I got the deck for 14.75 when I got it so overall I would say this was an absolute steal in terms of the price compared to other tarot or oracle decks at standard price here on amazon. Supppper pleased with this purchase!What I like: the feel, the images, the price I got it at.What I don't like: the canvas-like stock apparently picks up dirt pretty easily, also I didn't notice when I first bought it but the deck is very badly curved and it wasn't flat when I got it.I still love this deck but if you get yours curved like mine return it for a new one! Amazon has a really easy return system and if you have prime you can return for free at kohls (i don't know if they do free returns without prime but it's still worth looking into if you get a curved deck and need to return it.)

I have waiting on this to be released for about 2 months , And i live in Israel so it took about another 2.5 weeks for it to arrive since and it was soooo worth the price and the long wait. I'm a fan of literature and all witch related things since i was a kid. I swear i have waited for someone to create something like these since i was 11 and my great aunt was showing me how to read in coffee. It's got rich 1700 to 1800 hundreds century mystery feel to it . I love the small booklet and the short and to the point ideas for interpenetration for the cards. They are rich with imagery and you get all chances to interpret them according to your own mediumship psychic intuitive abilities and boy do they come out easy with images like the ones painted here. The box is top quality very sturdy and huge ! The cards are also kind of huge - see in the pictures my palm is a bit big and it's still big for me and they are a bit on the heavy side so it could be a bit of challenge for small palm people to side shuffle but it very fun and easy to shuffle poker style. Personally i'm total obsessed with them . Only wonder i have is as to the choice of bright peachy pink of the box as it seems to aim to a more feminist readers and perhaps the the choice of color is a bit too traditional gender roll type of color choice for me. I like it though ! The cards are very thick but bendy and have a oil paint like finish to them.Will enrich your traditional tarot readings for sure!

So glad I preordered this one, even though I was nervous to not see many pictures. The art style is vaguely gothic and sometimes unsettling in the best of ways. There are so many female authors whose names I recognize and those I do not, but I am inspired to look up and read from now. Meanings are drawn from their works as much as their lives.A warning to those who are looking for something to give them concrete/robust definitions: the guidebook included, while helpful in some ways, offers only 3 words or phrases per card for meanings, then short biographies accompanying each writer. Much of the meanings will have to be deciphered for yourself, which may be disheartening for some. It was unexpected, but once I thought about the flexibility this offered me to incorporate my experience with the authors into the meanings, I was much less discouraged. It'll just take some extra time to get me up to speed! :)Pros:+ Gorgeous artwork capturing those "witchy" vibes+ Larger than average-sized oracle & tarot cards+ Box they come in is beautiful and sturdy+ Great textures, will (most likely) shuffle wellCons:- Meanings booklet offers little robust guidance (which may not be a con for some)

Absolutely gorgeous, lyrical & meaningful, artistically stunning. Beautifully boxed, guide contains basically 3 words about each woman or thematic card, and biography of each author (same one featured in the book). A bit general of an explanation of each card, could've used more on its own, but obv recommend getting the book too. The book is beautifully written, intuitive and artful, really a deeper and more inspiring experience that can give you more information for a reading using these cards, or just a greater understanding of these amazing women and their work. The keywords of the author cards included in this decks booklet give a general idea, but obv the more you know the authors and their work, the more you'll be able to take from using this as an oracle or divination deck. You'll need and want to read a lot, before or after using this deck!

Firstly I LOVE this deck. The depictions are beautiful and I love that this decks version of the major arcana has the main meaning written on the card. Makes it easy to read right off the bat. The people who are complaining that its difficult to read are idiots. While I will admit the descriptions are short, the symbolism is extremely easy to interpret to anyone who has any experience interpreting tarot or dreams. The whole point of Oracle decks are to find your own meaning. If you want a long winded explanation of cards, buy a tarot deck instead. Beginners may struggle with reading this deck for that reason but dont let that discourage you if you're drawn to it! With enough practice it gets very easy to read.

The cards have such great designs and are a great size!

Obsessed I use this for myself for guidance it’s definitely spooky but cool as well as spot on I hope she makes more. !!!!
