Botanical Inspirations Deck & Book Set Cards – January 31, 2017

This is a beautiful oracle deck with Victorian or Victorian Inspired floral artwork and lovely affirmations. If you've ever seen or read the Flower Fairy books from the Victorian era and early 1900s, these cards similarly use flower language meanings and color to enhance the depth of meaning. Each card also has an affirmation. It would be a nice pairing with another floral themed deck (it would soften the skeleton imagery of Antique Anatomy and echo the flowers in that). I like to use decks that have extremely different visual styles, so for me, I would mix this with a modern art deck and traditional deck to give a very different "voice" of sweetness to the message with these. I only have two Oracle decks, I'm focused on Tarot decks, so you know it is something special that I wanted to add these. The box is lovely, too, and would be nice to leave out as a daily or weekly focus card.

I am a plant lover and horticulturalist so I was really excited to purchase this deck. I have to say, it did not disappoint! It is a smaller sized deck but that doesn’t take away from it. The box the cards come in looks nice and the illustrations on the cards are gorgeous. If you love flowers and plants, I encourage working with this oracle deck.

So pretty! These have the look of a vintage card. Tea stained. The card stock & packaging are good. The messages are very beautiful. The guidebook is well made too. I would highly recommend these cards!

I absolutely love this deck. From the quality of the cards to the presentation to the artwork on them and the special meanings and quotes — a very well curated and thoughtful Oracle deck. If you’re new to Oracle and Tarot perfect and for those that have been reading for awhile too. I was looking to find a deck to accompany my favorite tarot deck and this is it. Affordable and a great buy.

Cards are beautiful and sturdy. Deck is a good size. But the “book” is useless. It says nothing more than what’s listed on the card. Why bother printing it?

I love the design ! They have an old tea stained kind of feel to them. The story behind the drawings is very interesting . It's a very high quality sturdy box . The card are normal tarot cards size . Very easy to shuffle any way you like ! I find that they add a lot into readings about health issues as well as all well being questions. It always has a short to the point idea and clear message which i find very useful and educational .

I bought this thinking it was going to be more like an oracle deck, and since I love old botanical illustrations, I thought this would be a beautiful addition to my collection. This is more of an affirmation deck than an oracle deck, all the cards having positive and uplifting messages but somewhat directionless.The card stock is also ok, not incredible, slightly thin but durable.My main take-away: The artwork is truly beautiful and a great addition if you love botanical illustrations. I plan on using it as an affirmation deck and ended up buying another herbal-based oracle deck, making sure it was intended for divination.

Beautiful Deck! The illustrations are beyond amazing and the quality of the cards is outstanding! I love that I have that gorgeous deck box to carry them in; but if I want or need to, grab them quickly or save space, that I have the option of putting them in the little carrying bag that was included. I really enjoy the quotes that are on each card. As well as, the information provided in the book about the different facts for each flower. For example, I didn't know that according to fossil records that the Magnolia was the first flowering plant to evolve! So interesting and neat!
