Mythic Oracle

These are by far the most beautiful cards I own. I have three other sets of "oracle" cards, and several tarot decks, and have found that I only really connected with one of the tarot decks, and never with the oracle decks. This deck, however, is just amazing. I suppose a great deal of that is my fondness for the Greek pantheon, but the artwork is absolutely amazing, and the meanings given to each card seem to make it difficult to get a "bad" reading with the suggested layouts. Not that I'm saying the cards are all-purpose and generic - although I did notice that most of them tell you to journal your thoughts :-) - they simply seem to flow together better than any other smaller deck I've used.I very much appreciate the fact that the heroes were included in the deck. The story synopses made me like Achilles and Herakles a bit more than I had previously, and I smile every time I see my favorite, Odysseus.Only two complaints - I agree with another reviewer that other gods and goddesses could have been found to replace the duplicated gods in the pack, and I've always read that Demeter was a blonde...Did I mention that the artwork is phenomenal? I normally do not like oversized cards, but I can forgive that in this deck for the artwork. In fact, if I could have poster-sized prints of each of them, other than being flat broke for the rest of my life considering how many cards there are, I would gladly hang them on every wall of my house. Apollo, Helios, Odysseus, and Poseidon would go directly over my couch. Athena and Zeus would go over the TV... or maybe I should reverse that so I could SEE the first four. Hmmm... Probably shouldn't have Hades and Persephone in the dining room, I'd scare off my guests...

While some of the descriptions may seem simple, and even targeted to teenagers (?) referencing school... I have found these cards to be so incredibly mind blowingly accurate in all of my readings for myself, and deeply therapeutic. They have helped bring context to my own underworld journey and help show me aspects of my unconscious that I wasn't giving my love or attention to. They have helped me move through some very difficult times, and I'm deeply grateful for their existence <3

I love, love, LOVE the GrecoRoman pantheon and this deck is perfect for me! Great artwork and great interpretive guide. Easy to use and spot on advice for me. Would recommend this deck.

A surprisingly well written and beautifully illustrated tarot/oracle set based on the figures of Greek mythology. I've gotten quite a bit of good use from it and would recommend it to anyone that likes clear and insightful interpretations. Though written for a younger audience, it still bares up well for adult use as well. The cards are large and may be a bit cumbersome for users with smaller hands. I found them a little difficult to shuffle and I have well-sized man's hands. Overall, I would recommend the purchase. The price is right.

I love Greek Mythology and tarot cards/oracle cards hence the reason I was so excited to find a deck that combined both. The art work is spectacular bringing to mind both the sensual aspect and the warmth these gods and goddesses possessed. The book descriptions were a bit thin but the advice of others holds true study the cards first then read the book.I understand the duplications of certain of the gods/goddesses but really did not understand the need for them. When there were others that could have filled in those roles admirably. Instead of two Demeters why not have put Gaea into one of the roles. Also could have added Nyx, Helen of Troy, Hippolyta, Jason of the Argonauts, Theseus, Oceanus (instead of one of the Poseidon cards), Uranus (divine expansion instead of one of the Zeus cards), The Graces, and so many mores. In my opinion the deck is awesome but could have been much more involved. Perhaps the next time out someone will work on expanding it.

This deck make me feel so close to the Greek Gods. Like Gods and Titans & Goddesses and Sirens, there is an inner box with a pocket that holds the deck in place. The card stock is abit thin, closer to Oracle of the shapeshifters than some of their newer decks. I am aware this is an older-ish deck. Good guide book and I love the artwork so much. Not every image fits my mental image of what the deity would look like but thats rather minor.

Love the art. The cards were much bigger than I expected, happily suprised. They were all stuck together when I first got them which was slightly terrifying, but with a little care they all came apart with little or no damage to the finish. There were some quality issues that seemed to have happened during production, 2 or 3 of the cards have either vertical or horizontal lines of either missing finish or indentation spanning the entire card. I don't that very irritating in a product bought new instead of used. Box slightly smooshed.

I chose this deck because our modern western culture is based on the archetypes of the ancient Greeks. While the Universe can speak through any deck of cards, why not give it the closest possible language to work with to describe the archetypal patterns in our lives? In time, the beautiful artwork and the short blurbs in the instruction book describing each card will deepen your understanding, and you will see these patterns occurring in your life. With this deck you will understand what the well known mythologist Joseph Campbell meant when he said that "the gods are inside of you." There are profound interpretations for each card. It's great therapy. I've had accurate readings with this deck.

love the designs on these cards and the information booklet is great. My only complaint is that the cards are quite large, which makes it difficult to shuffle, especially if you have arthritis.

Beautiful stunning and profound. Both art and words inspire yet deliver clear precise readings. Awesomeness!!!

fab cards

Beautiful set

The art is beautiful, but the cards are thin for their size, and are very sticky, and glossy. The box is nice, and holds the cards and book nicely. My set arrived missing one of the cards, but with an extra of one of the others, probably because they are so sticky. Am now trying to return them as I don't have a full set. Would probably have rated it 4 stars if my deck had been complete and I'd been able to use them.

The art and the guidebook are amazing. The guidebook covers all of the main myth(s) if each character represented so you don’t have to be familiar with each myth, character and event of Greek Mythology. There’s also a helpful glossary at the end of the guidebook. However, the cardstock of this deck is not very good. It is thin, it bends easily and is hard to shuffle and handle.

Wonderful cards and book a lovely set

Mystische Motive, ist eine hervorragende Methode um Kontakt mit den alten Götter aufzunehmen!

Gorgeous deck which I personally resonate with very strongly. The meanings of the cards are quite varied and encourage self care and growth without being cheezy like other decks are.. This is a beautiful, empowering deck.

J'ai été happée par les magnifiques oeuvres de Michele-lee Phelan la première fois que je les ai croisées au détour de la toile, sur des sites consacrées aux critiques d'oracles et de tarots. N'étant pas très proche du monde grec, je m'étais raisonnée. Seulement, trois mois plus tard, la magie était toujours présente, et j'ai décidé de les acheter. Grand bien m'en a pris !Les cartes sont de grandes dimensions, permettant de voir tous les détails des oeuvres de la dessinatrice de talent. Le seul bémol, c'est qu'elles en deviennent difficiles à manier et à battre, ce qui est peut être important pour des gens ayant de petites mains (dans ce cas là, je leur conseillerais le Hanson Robert Tarot, qui a la taille d'un jeu de cartes à jouer tout en étant magnifique :)). Il y a un mot-clé sur chacune d'entre elle, ainsi que le nom de la divinité.Le livret qui accompagne ce jeu est en noir et blanc. Il y a une petite introduction, plusieurs tirages présentés, et, enfin, une petite reproduction de chaque carte suivie de la description du mythe de chaque personnage représenté et du message contenu dans la carte.Quelques exemples de cartes :Rhea -> ProtectionMnemosyne -> InspirationHebe -> PlayAres -> BattleAtlas -> ResponsibilityCronus -> CycleCet oracle m'a délivré des messages solides, qui m'ont permis de changer mon point de vue sur des situations qui me bloquaient. L'un des plus beaux message m'a même été délivré par, pourtant, un héros mythologique que j'ai toujours eu du mal à aborder et que je n'ai jamais vraiment aimé, Achille (Glory).Toujours pertinent, magnifique, très inspirant, je conseille cet oracle à tous ceux qui aiment les oeuvres d'art inspirantes ou qui aiment la mythologie grecque, car je suis certaine que ce magnifique jeu vous aidera :)

Beautiful deck, the artwork is stunning and the guidebook is pretty nice with a couple of pages on each card. An underrated deck in my opinion.

Loved how each God and Goddess is depicted...

Ich mag diese Karten sehr. Der englische Text im Buch ist super zu verstehen und die Bilder sind sehr klar und schön gezeichnet. Ich arbeite gerne mit den Karten, denn sie sind mal etwas Anderes. Kaufempfehlung

Le carte sono stupende, il manuale molto utile alla lettura ed interpretazione. Consigliatissimo a chi è appassionato di mitologia greca e di hellenismo in generale

Interesting mythology and stories are used to help guide you through any questions or challenges you are facing. Beautiful illustrations.
