African Goddess Rising Oracle - 44 ancestral guides with affirmations
There are plenty of goddess oracle decks out there. This one takes a different angle: African spirituality and stories from the diaspora, translated into concrete messages for now.
Abiola Abrams has gathered 44 goddesses, queens and spiritual figures from cultures across the African continent and the African diaspora. Each has her own story, her own strength, her own affirmation. The 144-page guidebook describes not only who they were, but how you can use their energy today.
What you see on the cards
The illustrations are clear and colourful. Lots of warm tones, gold, rich prints and patterns that reference textile art and African iconography. The style is accessible without becoming flat.
Each card shows a figure or symbol, accompanied by a name and a short designation. The guidebook gives context: who this goddess was, where she came from, and what she can teach you about yourself.
How this deck works
Each card entry in the guidebook ends with an affirmation. That makes the deck immediately usable for daily morning pulls or moments when you need a solid reminder. The tone is loving and empowering, without becoming vague.
You can read this deck the way you read any oracle, but the structure also invites you to simply pull one card and read the text aloud. The affirmations are written to be spoken.
Pull a card and read the affirmation aloud before you leave the house. It changes how you position yourself that day.

Questions we often get
Does the guidebook include explanation about the cultural background of each goddess?
Yes. Each card gets context: where the goddess comes from, what story belongs to her, and how you can apply her message today. The guidebook is not a list of keywords, but a story for each figure.
Are the affirmations written in the first person?
Yes. They are meant to be spoken aloud and used directly. Not abstract texts, but concrete statements you can apply to yourself.
