Green Oracle Cards - 36 cards about the relationship between humans and nature
Most oracle decks have one central theme, and here it is the natural world. The Green Oracle focuses on the connection between what the earth gives us and how we as humans interact with it.
Riccardo Minetti developed the system. Franco Rivolli drew the 36 cards in shades of green, brown and earth colours. The imagery is organic, with leaves, roots and patterns that recur in nature.
What you see on the cards
The illustrations are full and colourful. Each image contains symbolism that directly references natural processes: growth, decay, balance, cycle. The cardstock is sturdy, the format compact.
The guidebook runs to 128 pages and is multilingual. Each card gets a description of the symbolism and how to read it in a spread. The texts are clear and do not go deep into philosophy.
What sets this deck apart
With 36 cards this is narrower than a tarot deck, and that suits the focus. This is not a complete symbolic system, but one subject: how you as a human stand in connection with natural forces.
The imagery is calming. No drama, no harsh contrasts. Everything breathes green, earth, growth.
Draw a card outside, if you are in a garden or park. The context strengthens what you see on the card.
