Joyful Inspirations - 45 affirmations with fairytale illustrations
Not every oracle deck works with shadow or depth. Some cards are there to cheer you up, no detours. Joyful Inspirations is that kind of deck.
The 45 cards show flower fairies, dancing unicorns, music-making crickets and small nature beings. The illustrations by Judy Mastrangelo are colourful and dreamlike, with influences from the Italian Renaissance and Impressionism. Each card has a short affirmation by Frances Munro, focused on positivity and motivation.
What you see on the cards
The style is fairytale-like. Soft transitions, warm colours, plenty of light. Mastrangelo uses a technique she calls 'Mind Painting': she first visualises the complete image in her mind and then transfers it to canvas.
The symbols are direct and friendly. A garden party, a carousel, flowers in full bloom. No hidden layers or cryptic messages. What you see is what you get.
The 52-page guidebook gives a brief explanation and affirmation for each card. No spreads, no philosophical background. It is designed for quick and light use.
Who this deck is designed for
This deck is made for those who need a positive impulse, without complex symbolism. It works well as a daily card: draw one in the morning and let the affirmation accompany you for the rest of the day.
Also suitable for children. The images speak directly to the imagination and the texts are simple and uplifting. The deck requires no prior knowledge or study.
Draw a card and place it somewhere you will see it all day. The colours and affirmation work as a visual reminder.
