Postcards from Spirit Cards - 52 cards as spiritual mail
An oracle deck designed as a stack of postcards. Each card carries a message that presents itself as correspondence from the spirit world, complete with nostalgic imagery and postage stamps. The idea: a tangible message from the other side, directly readable.
Colette Baron-Reid designed this deck for people seeking contact with deceased loved ones, ancestors or guides. The cards are larger than standard oracle cards (104 x 140 mm), which suits the postcard aesthetic. The messages are in English, clear enough to use without translation.
What you see on the cards
Each card has an image in soft colours with dreamy, slightly faded tones. The style recalls old postcards from the nineteen-twenties: romantic, nostalgic, a little wistful. Above the image is usually a short title, below it the message in a few sentences.
The texts themselves are simple and direct. No symbolism to decode, no long meditative instructions. Just a sentence or two you can read as personal advice or encouragement.
How this deck works
You draw a card and read what is on it. That is all. The guidebook that comes with it offers extra context, but the core of the message is already on the card itself. This makes the deck accessible for those with no experience in tarot or oracles.
Many people use this deck at moments when they miss someone or feel the need for a sign. The postcard format reinforces that feeling: it feels as if someone is really sending you a message.
Place a drawn card somewhere visible where you pass often. The text will stay with you throughout the day.

Questions we often get
Do I need experience with oracle cards to use this deck?
No. The message is on each card in plain sentences. You read what it says and feel whether it resonates. You do not need to know more than that.
What is the difference between this deck and a traditional oracle?
The postcard format. Each card reads as a standalone message rather than a symbol or archetype you have to interpret. It is more literal, more direct.
