I’ve been working on an oracle deck for a while now. I started with 36 terms/symbols/cards/whathaveyou, but I’ve been filling in some gaps and now I’m up to 42, which I think is probably where it will stay. I’ve also changed some of the names to be more gender-neutral, and I’m really quite happy with how it reads that way. I’ve written a lot of free association on the terms, too, and my next step will probably be a rough draft of the meanings as they’ll read in a companion booklet. And then it will be time to brainstorm art!
Here are my current terms:
- The Child
- The Youth
- The Caregiver
- The Elder
- The Ancestors
- The Companions
- The Stranger
- The Authority
- The Benefactor
- The Apprentice
- The Healer
- The Farmer
- The Warrior
- The Artisan
- The Bard
- The Oracle
- The Cleric
- The Hedgewitch
- The Sorcerer
- The Fairy Queen
- The Green Man
- Deer and Wolf
- Sheep and Dog
- Fallowness
- Cornucopia
- Precipice
- Sanctuary
- Earth
- Waters
- Fire
- Skies
- Spring
- Summer
- Fall
