Oracle cards with affirmations form a separate genre. They do not tell a story or offer symbolic riddles. They say what they mean. The Portraits of a Woman Oracle by Riccardo Minetti and Elisabetta Trevisan builds on that principle: each portrait carries a short affirmation you can use directly.
The cards measure 88 x 125 mm, a format that sits comfortably in the hand without becoming unwieldy. The deck contains 45 cards and comes with instructions in multiple languages.
Elisabetta Trevisan has painted each portrait digitally. The style is colourful, contemporary, with attention given to facial expression. No classical goddess imagery, just women who look like women.
Each card states an affirmation in the form of 'I am...': confident, patient, powerful. No explanation, no story around it. Just the sentence itself.
The colours are rich and varied. Warm tones for strength, cooler tones for calm. The composition is always the same: a portrait from shoulders to crown, frontal or slightly turned.
This deck asks little. You draw a card, you read the affirmation, you keep it with you. That can be literal, on your desk or altar, or figurative, as a sentence you repeat a few times.
Many people use this type of card in the morning, as a setting for the day. Others pick a card when they want to pause. The deck imposes nothing on you.
Leave the card where you can see it all day. That works better than reading it once and putting it away.
Riccardo Minetti writes and develops oracle decks for Lo Scarabeo. His interest lies in affirmations and straightforward accessibility.
Elisabetta Trevisan illustrates and has several decks to her name. Her work is characterised by clear colours and expressive faces.
Do the instructions contain meanings, or only affirmations?
Only affirmations. The instructions explain how you can use the deck, but the message sits entirely in the sentence on the card itself.
Is this deck based on existing goddesses from mythology?
No. The title refers to archetypes, not to specific mythological figures. Each portrait represents a quality, not a historical goddess.
