Goddess Spirit Oracle Deck - goddesses, chakras and moon phases in one system
Some oracle decks work with a single theme. Others layer multiple systems on top of one another. This is one of those. Rachel Johnson brings together goddesses from different cultures with elemental forces, chakras and moon phases. The result is a colourful oracle focused on the feminine side of spirituality.
The deck contains 44 cards and a 72-page guidebook. The cards are richly illustrated, the imagery is expressive and multi-coloured. Johnson works with a system she calls the Arcana Goddesses and the Septuple, a structure that borrows elements from tarot without being a full tarot deck.
What you see on the cards
The illustrations show goddesses as archetypes: teacher, healer, leader, protector. Each card carries symbolism from a specific culture or tradition. The colours are warm and saturated, with plenty of gold, purple, red and blue.
Alongside the goddesses themselves are references to the elements, chakras and moon phases. These layers stack up in the imagery and return in the guidebook, where Johnson describes how the different systems come together for each card.
How the guidebook works
The 72-page guidebook contains card descriptions and spreads. Johnson explains how the Arcana Goddesses and the Septuple function within her system. The texts are accessible, with no prior knowledge required.
Several spreads are included, designed specifically for this deck. They focus on personal growth, healing and working with specific energies.
Draw a card during a specific moon phase and place it beside the description of that phase in the guidebook. The overlap gives context to what you pull.

Questions we often get
What do the Arcana Goddesses add to this oracle?
They give the deck a structure reminiscent of tarot, with cards that can be read on different levels. It is not a full tarot deck, but the predictive depth is greater than in most oracle decks.
Do I need to be familiar with chakras or moon phases to use this deck?
No. The guidebook explains each system as it is used within the deck. You can choose to include those layers in your reading or ignore them and work only with the goddesses themselves.
