The Enchanted Oracle

When I think of magickal, gothic art that features moody deities, and other enchanted beings, I think of Jessica Galbreth’s stunning paintings.

I’ve been meaning to purchase some her artwork for some time, but now we are blessed with an opportunity to obtain some of her most beautiful images in the form of an oracle deck! The Enchanted Oracle is a book and card set that can be used for meditation, fortune telling, or communication with deity. This 36 card set contains Jessica’s favourite pieces of artwork, and some that were created specifically for this project. Each watercolour image took about a week to complete, and they are filled with symbolism and a powerful essence that is hard to define.

Some of the card’s titles are: Mother Earth, Night Queen, Green Woman, White Magick, Gothique, Temptation, Spirit of Samhain, Lavender Moon, Dragon Witch, and Autumn Splendour. All of the cards are seriously sensuous, and they express the dark beauty of the inner search that leads to enlightenment.

The book (240 pages) is an integral part of this divinatory system. Apart from giving an eloquent description of each card, we are also shown an oracular message for that image, and then there’s a suggested exercise (spell, meditation, or ritual) that can be done to enhance our lives.

Apart from the cards and book, this oracle set contains a silver bag for the cards, and a pendant that can be used as a charm or pendulum.

Barbara Moore tells us that in this book: “You will find answers. You will find guidance. You will find possibilities. You will find the goddess, fairy, and sorceress within yourself.” And I don’t doubt that for a second! I can see that this insightful oracle will make an appearance during many of my future rituals and pagan celebrations.
