Oracle of the 7 Energies - 49 cards across chakras and levels of consciousness
Seven is a number that carries weight across spiritual traditions and numerology. Colette Baron-Reid uses it as the backbone of this oracle: 49 cards (seven times seven) divided into seven categories, each linked to a chakra and a level of consciousness. That is not arbitrary structure. It gives the deck an internal logic you can follow even without a background in chakra work.
The cards run from Energy 1 (earth, grounding, safety) to Energy 7 (crown, higher consciousness, surrender). In between: creativity and emotion, personal power, love and connection, communication and truth, and intuition. Each domain has its own colour code, so you can see at a glance which area of life a card touches.
What you see on the cards
The illustrations are by Jena DellaGrottaglia, who has collaborated with Baron-Reid for many years. Her style is digital, layered, and photorealistic: human figures, animals, nature and symbolism woven into dreamlike compositions. Anyone familiar with her work on The Enchanted Map or The Good Tarot will recognise the approach immediately.
The imagery is deliberately open. That means a great deal can be read purely on intuition, without reaching for the guidebook. The colour code per energy category helps with that: you do not need to read the text to know whether a card is about emotion, willpower, or communication.
Three layers in the guidebook
The guidebook runs to 176 pages and covers every card from three angles. First the core message, then the deeper energetic meaning, and finally a protective message for when a card appears as a signal or counterweight. That three-part structure makes the guidebook more than a dictionary of meanings.
Baron-Reid trained in shamanic and Western mystical traditions and translates them into language that is accessible without an esoteric background. The writing is direct and practical in tone.
Look at the image and the colour of the card before turning to the guidebook. The colour code already tells you which energy field the question sits in; the illustration sets the mood. The text then adds a third layer on top of that.

Questions we often get
Do I need to know the chakra system to work with this deck?
No. The seven energy categories are linked to the chakras, but the guidebook explains the background step by step. You can also work with it purely on colour and intuition, without any prior knowledge.
What language are the cards and guidebook in?
Everything is in English: both the card text and the 176-page guidebook.
