An oracle card deck by artist Rassouli with 44 abstract, colourful cards that invite contemplation. Inspired by Sufism and Eastern philosophy, with no fixed meanings or rigid system.
Works well after meditation or yoga, when you are already in a quiet state.
Not every oracle deck gives you direct answers. This one invites you to look, feel and interpret on your own. The Great Eastern Oracle by artist Rassouli consists of 44 cards with abstract, flowing imagery that refuses to pin you down.
The cards are inspired by Sufism, a mystical current within Islam that centres on love, unity and connection. The guidebook contains poetic texts, not instructions. This is a deck for those who work contemplatively and feel comfortable with open questions.
Rassouli's illustrations are flowing and abstract. You see moving lines, warm and cool colours blending, light that seems to radiate from the card itself. No concrete figures, no fixed scenes.
Each image leaves space for what you see in it. One day you pull a card and see movement, the next day you see stillness in that same image. That is exactly what the deck is built on.
The themes revolve around three core ideas: moving with the flow of life, finding the source of happiness within yourself, and feeling the connection with something greater than yourself. Rassouli writes about this poetically, not instructively.
Pull one card in the morning and first look quietly at the image before opening the guidebook. Notice which colours or shapes draw your attention. Write down one word that comes to mind if you like. Then read Rassouli's text and see how that word relates to what he writes.
This deck works well after a yoga or meditation session, because you are already in a quiet state. The poetic texts are most valuable when you read them as inspiration, not instruction.
Look at the card for a minute without text. Write down one word. Then read Rassouli's text and notice what happens.
Rassouli is an artist with a Middle Eastern background who has exhibited his work worldwide. He calls his style 'Fusionart': Western painting techniques combined with Eastern philosophy and spirituality. His aim is to stimulate the viewer's creativity and intuition, not to transmit fixed meanings.
Does this deck have fixed meanings I need to learn?
No. The cards have no system or fixed meanings. The guidebook offers poetic texts you can use as inspiration, but the interpretation is entirely yours. That makes it accessible if you are new to oracle cards, but it does require you to be comfortable with open questions.
What is the difference between this oracle deck and tarot?
Tarot works with 78 cards, arcana and a fixed system with symbols you learn. The Great Eastern Oracle has 44 cards without a system. The emphasis is on contemplation and personal interpretation, not on learning a structure.
